[quote=Anonymous]My son is 16 and he’s always been pretty open with me. Somehow we got on the topic of sex and his peers.  He attends a private school in the DC/Suburban area.  Just in terms of demographics, most of his friends come from fairly, if not very, affluent families. Most have stay at home moms.  Most have pretty involved parents, the kind that call or text to make sure a parent is home and that kind of thing.  These kids (boys and girls) are almost all good athletes and very good to exceptional students.  They mainly drink and smoke weed occasionally.  No heavy drugs.

Ok so that’s the demographic for whatever it’s worth.  He says the sex at this age is extremely common and very casual.  He says that the girls are very much up for anything and that most in his group have had multiple partners.  Some are in the high teens in terms of numbers.  Oral sex is even more casual. He says most girls are on the pill but that the guys are good about condoms.  He agrees the ease of watching porn has may be contributed to the culture.

I don’t want to judge his views, but we did raise him that sex should be in a committed, serious relationship. He seems to reject that view and says “that’s just not how it is now”   I get that teens have always been sexually active but the amount and frequency of casual sex at this age is what surprised me the most. He did say it’s still unfair that girls can  get a bad reputation and for the most part guys don’t.

So that’s my news from the teen trenches.[/quote]
