[quote=Anonymous]I have been surprised by the comparatively lax attitudes towards upper age teenagers' sex lives I've encountered among European families that I would consider my peers, the comfortably off, educated upper middle classes in the cities. These include British, French, Swedish, German and Danish families. They were perfectly pleasant and intelligent people. What I saw happening was the boyfriend/girlfriend joining the family on holiday and sleeping in the same bedroom as the son/daughter in question; the university child's boyfriend/girlfriend sleeping in the same room when visiting the family. Neither would be something I'd have allowed nor would my children have expected to happen. I am not implying that this is broadly the norm for I do not know if it is the case, and I'm sure there are plenty of more conservative families.

Still, I do think upper middle class America is more prudish than other western countries when it comes to the sexual habits of their children, it is not to imply it is bad or unhealthy, just that we have different ways of handling it.
