[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, considering that there will be no sex before marriage, I think this article is sort of moot.[/quote]

Unless you're the one having (or not having) the sex before marriage, you can't actually say that. What you can say is, "Considering that I will not condone sex before marriage..."[/quote]

OP here and, well, exactly, PP.  My frame of reference is my own upbringing.  My mother never forbade anything.  She simply let us know her feelings about things, why she felt we should wait, and what we should do to protect ourselves if we didn't.  The result is that I delayed sex well beyond the vast majority of my friends and classmates (i.e. later years of college).  I was educated and could make an educated decision.  The kids I knew who were "forbidden" to have sex knew the least about it and were the most likely to have sex too soon.  I want to raise my child the way I was raised, and I often wonder how I will feel if he is having sex as a teenager.  One thing I DO know is that I want him to look to us, his parents, for knowledge and support, and not his uninformed/misinformed friends, the internet, etc.

Anyone else have some actual thoughts based in reality, instead of parental fantasy land?[/quote]
