As a mom of 4 girls, we talk about sex here. Well, I do with the two teens.
Sex is fine, it’s great and wonderful and beautiful and a whole lot of fun, imo. I didn’t have sex as a teenager but mostly because pre-marital sex was wrong according to my faith and because I knew as a teen that I wasn’t ready for all that came with it.
My mom taught me that in the heat of passion, that I’d have to decide, use my head, and it worked for me.
As for all the fun stuff that leads to sex, it WAS fun even though it didn’t end up with intercourse in my case until marriage.
Girls need a different talk than boys do, definitely. They don't seem to need to be as guarded with their urges. Keeping their wits about them is a major part, because girls tend to decide rather than be driven like boys are.

Heh, it's a different perspective as a woman. I remember reading Joshua Harris's experience with his soon-to-be wife (not that I approve of Harris's advice), and how she was completely unaware of the challenge it was for him just to be near her on a hammock in a relatively private area. Sometimes I think that the reason why women were taught to be sexually reserved was so that men wouldn't go crazy in a strict society.
