It is very important, and manner are different, but it is extremely neccesary to teach and answer them related questions. Kids must be well informed about sex, prevention on sex trasnmissible diseases, y preveting early pregnancy.

What's missing is not whether parents can properly demonstrate condom competency to kids.
What's missing is whether fathers talk with sons early and often using a communication standard like court, "The truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the truth" (about everything Dad knows, especially feelings and emotions about sex). Contraception can be a goal, but the better goal is getting boys willing to not use and hurt girls. That is done with more, more, more honesty (no topics off limits), not less. Abstinence is not a "girl" thing or a "religious" thing. We are not birds. We are not bees. We are humans who must know WHY self-control and self-management of sexuality is critical to health, happiness and a life not goofed up like a soap opera. This is a love thing from Dad to son.
As for courses at work, Dad shouldn't need them if he has been practicing above since son was in elementary school.
