Did you encourage your young adult DC to remain a virgin until marriage?

[Anonymous]

If so what is your religion and what age did they lose their virginity?

[Anonymous]

Of course.

[Anonymous]

Being emotionally healthy and having ordinary maturity for their age, young people make their own decisions. This is a private decision that is not likely to be asked.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not, and actually directly discouraged that.

What is your religion?

Your child’s virginity is none of your business. Ugh!

I have a son and am Catholic. I just want him to make good decisions and not be an a**hole to women.

I hope he will maintain respectful monogamous relationships. As he has grown up I have spoken to him about this. However, he is his own person.

I would be disappointed if I found out he was have meaningless casual sex with a bunch of women.

That’s a sure way to raise a man with sexual hang ups that will be a lousy husband.

Why?

Nope. Our religion has a year long sex education class for 8th graders that teaches everything but with an abstinence now mindset.

[Anonymous]

Yes of course

+1 My parents didn't know when I lost my virginity and actually assumed it was a lot earlier than I did.

I'm (nominally) Lutheran and my parents didn't wait until marriage, and they told me that. Their advice to me was to wait until it was with someone you love, which I did.

No. What a ridiculous notion. As someone else said, I would have its with someone they care deeply about.

But, TBH, its not my business.

Agreed, though I'd also encourage waiting until after high
school. There's a lot of adult stuff that comes with sex and most high schoolers aren't ready or responsible enough for all of it.
