Everything is so sticky |
If OP thinks her teen might have sex soon, their teen has done "stuff." Sexual exploration is a progressive process when it's healthy. You don't go from kissing to sex. |
We don’t know that. It’s JUST an assumption. |
At age 17 I used to lie to my parents about spending the night with a best friend when I was really alone with my boyfriend while his mom (single mom) travelled for work.
However we never had intercourse. We messed around in other ways (oral, making out). I just wasn't ready and I felt really strongly about it. So I bristle when people say that every normal teen is horny and having sex at the first opportunity. Many of us did not and we had healthy sex drives and ultimately had plenty of fun in college and 20s and beyond. That said, I have no idea what my own teens have done (or not done) in terms of sex. I mean, I would guess that my 17 year old daughter has not not sex as she attends a girls' school and has not had a boyfriend and tells me she has not kissed anyone but who the heck knows! She's been out of my sight on many weekend nights. She's gone to parties. She could be giving blow jobs in the bathroom at all of them. I truly have no way of knowing! |
Okay? lol But that's not what OP is asking. Sure, some teens don't have sex, but she's asking a very specific question assuming her teen will have sex soon. |
There is no "we." This is coming from the parent of one of the teens. |
It was a random person who said “they’re having some form of sex.” She doesn’t know that. |
I bought my girl a vibrator and a dildo. She is not interested in having sex but probably has needs too. She is now such a happy girl. Less crabby! |
Many parents who claim: “my child would never do THAT! Nooo - not my daughter; she will wait until her wedding night,” - have teenage children who are having s*x. You don’t know what you don’t know. |
Oral s*x IS s*x. |
Sometimes they just do it very quickly. It’s not like adults or in college. Teens can be really creative. |
Meanwhile, in Europe, co-ed sleepovers from age 14-15 are common. Nudity at home promotes body positivity. Sex at home between teens (behind closed doors) is considered to be the safest place to do it. Condom dispensers are everywhere. Teen girls can walk to their local doctor and get their own birth control and the appointment costs nothing. Sex education begins in the 5/6th grades and continues at the 8th and 10th grades.
Meanwhile, in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, we still have our collective heads stuck in the sands of religious purity culture. |
Nobody is denying the existence of bad kids. |
So your child can never tell you? Sad |
Sorry you’re sad! |
