[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youths are sexual beings (as are we). They should talk about sexual health with a medical professional. They aren't going to open up in front of mommy. Some of you who refuse to leave already know this, thus you don't leave. You want your teenagers to be sexless babies forever.[/quote]

Youth are sexual beings
Really pedo?[/quote]

Get over yourself Puritan PP! Yes, most children start thinking about sexuality in their preteens - that is perfectly healthy and developmentally appropriate. The average age of first intercourse has been rising in recent years, but half of American teens have had first intercourse prior to age 18. Beyond intercourse, many more American teens are engaging in oral sex in their earlier teens because they believe it’s a safer option and ‘isn’t really sex’. This is one very good reason to get your kids the HPV vaccine as soon as they’re eligible (age 11/12, I believe?).[/quote]

The terms Youth and Sexual Beings are polar opposites.
