[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Europeans are more laid back about sexual habits among teenagers. It's a generalisation, of course, but it's also true. 18 year old boy and his girlfriend? Of course they're having a lot of sex.

As it is, I'm not sure what the big deal is that he decided to extend the trip by an extra six days.[b] He's 18, about to go off to college.[/b] I can see being upset that the amount of time left with the son before he leaves for college is now substantially reduced, but that's life and there's always holidays and weekends. [/quote]

Read the thread he's not in college. He's a high school senior.

Not sure why this thread is deating teen sex habits, but okay I've been told European kids regularly start having sex at 12 and 13 years old is that something we should model?[/quote]

You've been told?  Who told you that European kids start having sex at 12 and 13?  That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard! As a European myself, most of European parents would beat the crap out of their kids if they heard their 13 year old is having sex.
I have heard it in 90s from the horses' mouth, so to say, when I moved to US and worked in a day care that had older high school girls working in the afternoon, that they had sex at 13, and they now regret it, they were maybe 17 years old. Large part of Europe is very, very conservative when it comes to sex. So far, every stereotype we heard in Europe about US tens being sluts of both gender, has been witnessed by me, mom of two teens living here and knowing many teens. I know so many freshmen teens who are having sex with their parents knowing, and clearly this was the case in 90s too so not a new development. 
My own US SIL told my DD when DD was 14 that it is ridiculous she doesn't have a boyfriend. SIL told me she also had sex around 13, and had multiple partners before 15 years old, when she settled with her now exDH. My other SIL waited will 14! Maybe look into a mirror before you start spewing nonsense about teen sex in Europe. So, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine, Turkey, France, it is all the same to you, right? You do know Germany and Scandinavia are just a tiny part of it, right? And even then your statement is absolutely mind numbing. Confusing acceptance of nudity with acceptance of 12 year olds having sex is insane. And newsflash, we do not consider 12 and 13 year olds even teens in most of Europe, and I have lived in 3 European countries including Norway where yes, casual sex is more common, but certainly not regularly having sex at 12.[/quote]
