Puritans hate sex. They think of it as dirty. If they can vat-clone kids, they'll do it. Parents should be open to talk about sex to their children. Insert your taboos and prohibitions if you must, but don't hide the biological and medical truths about sex.

Puritans hate

I don't agree, they just think it is designed for the primary purpose of procreation

Parents should be open to talk

I think the contrary view is that it isn't necessary to discuss it until people get married, where they would be free to procreate; relations outside of marriage are wrong and vectors for spreading disease, mental illness, unplanned preganancy, etc.
