Madonna’s Advice On Sex & Drugs For Her Kids

When it comes to talking about sex and drugs with her kids, Madonna takes a very Madonna approach to it.

Access spoke to the pop icon as she promoted her upcoming album, “Rebel Heart,” where the singer opened up about her approach to dealing with these coming of age topics with her four kids, Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, David, 8, and Mercy, 8.

“It’s just a fact of life isn’t it? Somehow, it’s gonna happen sometime. It happened to you, so it’s gonna happen to [Lourdes],” she said when asked about addressing sex with her children. “All you can do is [stress] safe sex. Have discussions about it and encourage her to be open with you about it and not judgmental.”

Madonna hopes her kids seek her out for guidance.

“Because then they won’t feel like they can come to you and talk to you,” she continued. “Ask you for your advice and stuff.”

The singer takes a similar open-minded approach when it comes to drugs.

“I’m not a fan of taking drugs, but I’m not gonna tell my daughter not to do things. I’m just telling her to be careful,” she explained.” [I tell her] never take a drink that you haven’t seen somebody pour in front of you. Don’t mix alcohol. Your basics, like be safe, do everything in moderation. That’s it. That’s all I can do.”

During her chat with Access, the singer also revealed her favorite tracks from “Rebel Heart.”

“I have a few, ‘Ghost Town,’ and ‘Unapologetic B*tch’ and ‘Devil Prey,'” she said.

She explained that the album’s first single, “Living for Love,” is one of hope.

“It’s not about dwelling and living in bitterness or getting caught up in bitterness, but moving on, moving through it, learning from it and still being hopeful,” she told Access.

So is Madonna currently in love?

“Um, no,” she said with a laugh.

The singer, 56, also spoke to Access about women being unfairly judged about their age, specifically on social media.

“I feel like it’s a form of discrimination that still has not been dealt with and it should be. I think it should be as verboten as making racist remarks or making homophobic remarks, judging somebody by their age,” she told Access.

Adding, “It’s sexist and it’s ageist and it’s bulls***.”

“Rebel Heart” drops on March 10. Madonna kicks off her tour in Miami on August 29.
