[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to cross that bridge when you come to it, but honestly, I don't think it sets the right tone. Will the kids have the maturity to use protection (i.e. condoms and the pill) so that they don't conceive a kid or get herpes? Will their hearts be broken? It seems inevitable, don't you think? Will one kid secretly tape/photograph another and post it on social media(this happens with alarming frequency and the internet is forever and can particularly ruin a girl's chances for a solid future)?

Remember, your kid's young, but when the time comes, the issue will remain: if you allow your kids to have sleepovers &/or sex in their room, will you be ready to raise the grandkid created from such an event?

Only you can answer these questions.

Seriously?  I think you missed my posts about how to discuss sex with kids from early ages, building trust, discussing repercussions, etc.  You have a pretty black and white view on this which isn't reality.[/quote]

No, actually, I grew up here, and I've watched classmates and their sisters -- and parents -- end up raising kids and watching the "fathers" walk away because sex is complicated and they were "older teens" who were clumsy with birth control. In two cases, the girls married nice guys and then the "fathers" disappeared completely. One son is 25 and the other is 31 now. Their fathers are nowhere and their stepfathers are frankly preoccupied with raising their much younger siblings. These are only two examples from high SES families. It happens across demographics, everybody. 
Like I said, it's happened before and will happen again.

It's a good way to slow a girl's progress while teaching a guy that he never has to take responsibility because someone else will solve the problems.[/quote]
