You know what, my mom had a rude awaking when I was 14. The girl accross the street from us had her second child at my age! She was just a few months younger than myself. My mom saw that and bought a box of condoms and showed them to my brother marc and I. She told me that if I have sex, she wanted me to have it where I would be safe. She told me she didn't want me messing around with some guy and have him hurt me. She said do it at home and if he does something that isn't right you yell and someone will be there with a baseball bat.
I choose to wait until I was 17. But I agree with my moms logic. You know what, I've heard so many horror of stories of girls being raped in woods, cars, parties etc... No means no and there are some guys who won't take no for answer. I rather my kids be safe than the latter.
Yrs later, when I was in HS, some teacher was complaining to her class that her college daughter wanted to have unmarried sex in her house. I told her my mom didn't have a problem with it, she was shocked and said 'your mother allows unmarried sex in her house?' my answer 'my mom has unmarried sex in her house.'
One more thing. I'm not talking about really young kids. I wouldn't want my 12 yr old or even 14 yr old to be having sex at that age. But I do want my kids to be comfortable enough to talk to me and my husband about theses things. I don't believe virgity is something speical, but I would rather if my kids wait until at least 16. So please don't get mad at my for MHO.
