Fun as long as they are being responsible. 
Fun as long as both partners are willing, and able to consent.

And fun as long as they are mature enough and willing to handle the consequences (physical and emotional) that result.

Agree 100%. I was lumping that in the responsibility. Everyone talks all the time about the physical consequences. I think emotional consequences can be just as huge, especially for teens.[/quote]

OP here -

I agree, too. I think the emotional consequences are significant, and many adults can't handle them, either.

While some of the emotional consequences are biological/hormonal, I think some of the emotional consequences are tied up in our shaming attitude about sex, not to mention our cultural hypocrisy on the topic.

Giving kids a more "sex positive" message that it's something their parents do as part of loving each other and that they enjoy it may help reduce some of that emotional baggage.[/quote]
