[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The starting point is having a personal morality that you work from infancy to inculcate into your child, teaching that sexual relations have meaning beyond the mechanics and are not simply pleasant friction between two hormonally attracted individuals.[/quote]

This.
if you are a Christian and your daughter is as well, at some point you have to trust that they’ve heard why it is that you value that sex is a wonderful gift shared between a husband and wife that strengthens their connection and bond (the two becoming one). And of course you acknowledge that she may choose to experience it differently from what the Bible explicitly recommends (bc people do that all the time….and God still loves us!). But Biblical instruction is provided about this because God wants what is best for us. And a huge benefit of choosing to experience sex only within that committed marital context is that it eliminates so much anxiety and worry about unwanted pregnancy, heartbreak of wondering if he will call, regret or guilt about wishing you had waited.
Obviously if you don’t believe that God has a purpose and plan in designing sex this way and choosing to follow His Biblical instructions with regard to sexual practices is for our own happiness, then disregard.
But I think this is a much stronger approach than “sex is bad. Don’t do it!” Because that’s not true.[/quote]
