[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just found out that my sister is allowing her 17.75 year old son and his 18 year old girlfriend (they just graduated high school) to have sleepovers at her house.

I think this is just asking for trouble.  There are no boundaries.  I think sex is an adult activity.  I don't think there should be parental involvementn at all - meaning, wait until you have your own place!  17 is way too young.  She will regret this when these teens get pregnant and their college plans are messed up.

Plus, I think all these sleepovers (the girlfriend - his first and someone he has only been dating a few months) is too much, too soon.  These teens should be out and about dating and having fun, not holed up in a house boinking.  It is like they are together 24/7 and a married couple already.  Geez.  I think it is a terrible idea all the way around. [/quote]

OP here. To play devil's advocate, 18 is legally an adult.  At 18, you can serve in the military and be held to adult standards in the legal system.  Shouldn't you be allowed to decide to have sex, too, if you can be sent overseas to fight and perhaps die for your country?[/quote]

I hate that straw man argument. Tell you what -- they minute they enlist and survive boot camp, they can drink and fuck all they want in my house. Until then, it's just a hypothetical.[/quote]

It really isn't a straw man argument at all.  It's an argument about the age at which kids can make informed decisions about their own sex lives and what is the proper role of parents at that stage.  I find it interesting that as a society we think nothing of 18 year olds enlisting to fight for the country but if they are having sex we FREAK OUT!!!!![/quote]
