[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are going to get the advice you are looking for asking the generations that read this website.  The generations now in college and younger are far more promiscuous when it comes to sex than we ever were.  As a parent, you just have to kind of accept the fact that it's going to happen, and happen outside of long-term relationships.  Look at the the movies and tv they have grown up with.[/quote]

Do you really think so? I am 30, so far removed from college, but not far enough to have a college-aged kid. I have college-aged cousins, though, and they are not sex fiends, though they do drink to what I would consider excess.

As with some others on this thread, I did not do anything crazy in college, nor do I regret it. It's just not my personality -- I am fairly quiet and controlled.  At work I am known for being the calm one, and I can count on one hand the number of heated or angry arguments I've had as an adult. I've never been drunk nor desired to be, never done drugs, did not have sex until I was engaged at 27. Not for religious reasons, but because I just wasn't comfortable being intimate in a lesser relationship. I don't regret any of these things. I am also not "proud" of them in the sense that I think it's the only way to go -- obviously most people do get drunk, have sex etc much earlier, and that is fine for them. It would not have been fine for me, however.  I do not like to lose control and I don't ever want to be unaware of what's happening to me. Early on in college, I saw a couple of girls get so drunk they didn't know what they were doing and would gotten into some serious trouble with multiple guys at a frat party had I and a few other friends not forcibly taken them home. I swore then that I would never let that happen to me.

That's not to say I haven't done foolish things - I have, mostly related to daredevil physical stunts that I look back on now and think, what the hell was I doing .... but come to think of it that was after college, in the 22-24 bracket, when I was traveling on my own.
