It sounds like your parents are pretty exceptional compared to the norm in the US (but I'm assuming you're in the US and shouldn't, so apologies there.)
I wish we'd seen something like that in later seasons of Buffy as a scene between her and Dawn after Joyce passed away.
That wouldn't have been a bad thing! Buffy's dialogue to Dawn in "All the Way" indicates that there's been a talk of some sort - but maybe not? Maybe it's something we need to fanwank, or maybe it's "I had a bad sexual experience with vamps and you should no better" sort of thing? I like the conversation that Dawn and Buffy have in "Him" which is more about love than sex per se; I like that Dawn asks some hard questions there. (I actually like the episode more than fandom does generally anyway, I think.)
S6 certainly could have been the time to do that with the franker sexual tone allowed by the new network.
