[quote=Anonymous]College.

I MIGHT hesitate if I had younger children at home still (younger than say 16) and the other person wasn't a serious relationship. So, if you're 20, your little brother is 14, and you bring home a rando you met a month ago, I might say no. But in that case - why are you bringing this person home anyway? Isn't your relationship not there yet?

But I plan on teaching (or attempting to teach) my children my values around sex: that sex is a bad idea before you've graduated from high school, that sex is best in a committed relationship, and that especially in that case it can be fun and a great source of bonding and closeness, the importance of consent and reciprocation, ways to protect and be mindful of your sexual and reproductive health, the importance of birth control, and that sexual compatibility is important in a long term relationship, so waiting until you're married to have sex is risky.

Having sex with your college girlfriend/boyfriend is thus absolutely a decision that I respect, and that fits within the values I hope to teach my children. [/quote]
