PSA - If your kids are dating, make sure they have birth control!

Anonymous wrote:For kids avoiding sex only because they are worried about pregnancy, they are usually having a lot of oral sex and anal. And they definitely need the HPv vaccine and to be aware of STD risks. Many people don’t realize that a high percentage of sore throat cases are actually STDs.

If kids are avoiding sex for other reasons (realizing that they aren’t ready for it, lack of partner, religion), then they may avoid these “everything but” approaches.

Condoms really need to be provided for any type of sex a child might be having.

There are simply too many risks from unprotected sex to not try our best, as parents, to protect children.

Provide condoms in every case!

So you won’t buy birth control and think only threatening your kids will keep them abstinent. Um ok.

You do realize it works for a lot of kids, right?

It doesn’t AT ALL. They just won’t open up to you or tell you anything. Even when they go to college.

It literally IS working, though. He's not having sex. Doubt he will through college, at least if he's accepted to Annapolis. Sure, after graduation, all bets are off, but YES, until then, that threat of dismissal keeps him abstinent. He's told me he's terrified of getting a girl pregnant, and that's why he's not doing it. Why aren't you believing anyone? Do you honestly believe all teens are having sex? That's just...bizarre.

NP
I can buy that all teens aren't having sex, but I can't buy that your male teen is having these conversations with you. You seem very enmeshed.

You don't think that's how a teen boy would reply when his parents have the safe sex conversation with him and remind him of what a pregnancy would do to his plans? A single conversation does not "enmeshed" make, but keep projecting, I guess.

Let me ask how many virgins are at Annapolis?!?! ZERO

Wake up mom! He is not waiting until 22yrs old unless he is a disgusting dork no one wants to get near. You are literally insane!!!!

He's always been risk-adverse.

Then he definitely shouldn't go into the military.

I think you're a troll.

You people will do anything to justify your disgusting, impulsive behavior.

Remind your snowflake that anal sex is sex.

You realize women have gotten pregnant from anal sex, right? Someone needs sex ed, but it's not my child.

File that under: “things that never happened.”

Are you stupid?

1. Teen boys have poor frontal lobes and a ton of hormones.

2. They are impulsive and horny. If they aren’t having sex it’s because they have no one interested in them. Teen boys are not saying no.

3. The whole point of not getting a girl pregnant IS birth control. Condoms, pill, plan b, and abortions.

4. Preaching abstinence only just shuts down communication. You can state your opinions and guide them, but they will make their own choices when you aren’t with them and history of every generation has shown that peers and hormones win out the majority of the time. That is why schools and planned parenthood give out free condoms. To those that have poor relationships with their parents.

I was with you through #1 but the rest of this is simply incorrect. I’m sorry that you or your husband don’t have the relationship with your son that some of us have with ours.

We get it. You're the cool mom. You slept around because it made you cool, and you definitely didn't wait like us losers. We. Get. It.

I'm also pretty creeped out that she believes a boy can force an abortion on his partner.

Did the person who got pregnant from anal sex have a perforated rectum with a duct running to the fallopian tube?

There is no recorded pregnancy from anal sex

This is making me laugh. No one is pulling out from anal sex and getting it all over a vagina and some seman just happens to sneak in.

So you only teach abstinence and believe he will never lie ever? Sounds like a great relationship

Somewhat tangential but since we’re discussing talking to kids about sex: we should also talk WAY more about how hard it can be to get pregnant when you want to and how common miscarriages are and how upsetting they can be even if you weren’t sure you wanted the baby. This thread is reminding me of my (inadequate) sex ed that low key convinced me than any sex I had without a condom would inevitably result in pregnancy. Seven months of trying for my first baby was a really upsetting surprise.

Teens are much more fertile than 20 and especially 30yr olds. I mean older teens used to be married and giving birth in the early 1900's and centuries before that mid teens were moms. Our bodies aren't supposed to have many kids starting in the late 20's and 30's. Your eggs are old, sperm are slower.
