When parents disagree on how to discuss attraction with their teenager

My teenage daughter keeps asking me and my wife really direct questions about attraction and sexuality that go way beyond the basics we thought we were prepared for, and we realize we have completely different comfort levels and approaches to these conversations. We're both trying to be supportive parents but we keep undercutting each other without meaning to.
