[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is no general answer.  This is personal to your own children.  Statistics are 45% of teens 15-19 have had sex.  Average age for first time sex in US is 17.

Most 12-15 yr olds are not having sex.  [b]Especially if your younger teen is busy with extracurriculars and a rigorous academic schedule, and they aren’t in a relationship, chances are they are not having sex with anyone[/b].[/quote]

I would love to see a study comparing teens with more extracurriculars and “rigor” with those with less, and age of first sexual activity. My bet is the difference won’t be statistically significant.[/quote]

DS was 17 - varsity sport, club sport, rec sport, 10 AP classes in HS, full time summer job...GF of 2y... evidently, they found time. [/quote]

People.  Stop responding to posts with information or opinions about older teens when you are in a thread talking about 12-15 year olds.  Is this happening over and over because the posts are collapsed?  People are saying keep 12-15 year olds busy.  We can all agree 17 year olds with a girlfriend will find time to have sex.[/quote]

Uh...this was the original post... OP was asking about what to expect in coming years.

[i]My spouse & I are both immigrants from a more conservative country.

We have a 12 & 14 year old ( boy & girl) and are curious as to what to expect in the coming years. For those who have older teens, what has been your experience ?[/i][/quote]
