[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned that my 16 year old son has been sexually active for the last couple of months with his girlfriend.

This is not something DH or I approve of.  When asked DS says that he is using a condom and does not intent to stop. He says that it makes him feel really good and makes him closer to girlfriend.  Her parents know and do not have any problems with it.

He is a really good kid, playing sports, good grades, respectful etc. but I really don't want to give the impression that I'm good with this, I am not.

Question is what should we do?  Seems like trying to hammer him would not result in stopping this activity short of full time grounding.  Doing nothing we appear to condone such activity.

Kinda lost on what to do.

He says her parents know and are OK with it? [b]BS.[/b] Parents need to have a face to face sit-down with each other. If this has been going on for two months with no intention of stopping, some serious action needs to be taken by ALL the parents.[/quote]

Huh?  I don't think that the girl's parents have an issue with this behavior.  What good is talking to them going to do?  They don't care.

Obviously if Op didn't think that her son was ready for a sexual relationship she should have forbidden him to date and/or provided better (and mandatory) supervision during their dates.  Now that these kids are having sex, Op can limit their time spent together and she can try to prevent them from having time alone together but, honestly, they'll find a way.

Op should make sure that her son knows how to prevent pregnancy/STDs and she needs to make sure that her son has a doctor that he feels that he can talk to.

I feel for you Op.  Hang in there.[/quote]
