What about a teenaged daughter? Got one yet? Would it be ok for her?

That's never a fair question, because the answer is always no. I have two daughters, one 28 and one who'll be 14 in a few weeks. As a father, you never want anyone to touch them, not even their husbands. I comfort myself regularly by pretending that the oldest and her husband don't really have sexual relations and that my granddaughter is a miracle from heaven. Much the same way when my parents were alive that I comforted myself by pretending that they never had sex either.

Smart people will recognize that as an overly protective emotional response and temper it accordingly. Smart parents know that teenagers are a blink away from being adults, and testing the boundries is a part of growing up. To hear it here, most freepers were completely asexual as teenagers with no hormone driven desires at all.

As much as parents hate to hear it. Young people today are a lot like young people were when I was young, and when my parents were young. They'll date, they'll kiss, they'll pet and some of them will have sex before their ready. It's life, and you can't stop it.

That was a truly great post. I think that some folks here believe that sex is a bad thing when it isn’t (given the right circumstances and conditions).
