Age of consent

[bcp]

well, Im raising my daughter to be a lesbian stripper, I should be ok as far as all of this goes.

I had no morale choice...he was there and I just had to sink him in to me.

Excuse me?

Then define "adult". If the age of consent is 18 and two 17 year olds have been boinking for months, is he now a child molesting sex offender when he turns 18 a few months, or even days, ahead of her?

Do we really want this much government regulation of sex? Really? At what point do we raise our own children, instead of letting the state do it?

Your Liberal side always shines.

I got feeling that Parents like you, don't have this problem.

Who really knows what lies in the future... mine are only 12 and 15 right now. But I can say I discussed this thread fully with my 15 year old son this evening and he sincerely laughed at the thought of 14, 15 even 16 year olds thinking they know enough about life to make the decision to start having sex.

We talk about sex, drugs, drinking, driving, work ethics, reputation, and consequences on a regular basis. I don't condone taking on any of the above until on has proven to be responsible enough to deal with the consequences. I don't shelter my kids from the subject. I don't shelter my kids from other kids that think, at the tender age of 14 or so, that they are "mature" enough to take it upon themselves to "act" adult and do things they are in no way ready for... I know it happens and hiding them from those kids won't make it "go away". Instead, I've found that taking the approach we've taken allows my kids to recognize districtive behavior and to learn from their mistakes. We shall see...

Are predicting the future of those Kids?

No, I am merely stating that ALL parents think their young child will be a virgin on their wedding night, or at least until they turn 18. Statistics say that's not likely.

And actually, dear, liberals WANT the government to raise all children, just like good little Socialists.

Teen sex involves no one except the two parties engaging in it.

I really disagree with this... go back and read the article I posted about "The math of teen sex" because that gives a good synopsis as to why it may start with just two but multiplies out of proportion... think back to those old shampoo commercials where "they tell two friends and they tell too friends and so on and so on"... it's more than just teen pregnancy at stake.

Well, Vrai... what do they do with underage drinkers? Underage DUIers? Do you see them throwing those kids in jail? I don't... I think underage sex should be handled the same as they do other underage offenses... brought up on charges because that is how we get them to recognize that they broke the law, they will most likely get probation combined with schooling and counseling, and the parents will be put on notice as well thereby eliminating the "oh not my little Johnny/Susie... I had no idea..." excuses. I don't see why it should be handled any different. Oh yeah, repeat offenses would lead to harsher sentences, etc. and so on... isn't that what we do with our lawbreaking teens now...

Well, I'm probably on your ignore at this point but here goes.. Sex is a physcial and natural urge to being in love, sex is a completly natural desire :shrug: whether you are 14, 15 or 40 :shrug: it will happen eventually :shrug: drinking is not a natural desire and most certainly drinking and driving is not a natural desire :shrug: I don't see where government punishment is due for a natural normal desire versus desires that are not normal and natural such as drinking and driving underage or drinking or stealing. If folks don't want their teenagers to have sex until 18 then perhaps they should explain the differences, anything else may fall on deaf "my parents just dont understand" concepts :shrug: I think one is a normal physical desire that the teen needs to understand and deal with the other is not a normal instinctive urge :shrug:

That's alot of People, but I have theory about that statement you will not like.

I disagree, I think most people have had sex before they were 18 or married :shrug: Maybe that should be another poll

No offense, but even when I can decipher your posts, they still bore the hell out of me and I find them to have no relevance to the discussion at hand.

It is what it is and no excuses.

I was 24 when I had my first (accident) and 32 with my second (planned)

The fact is teenagers will have sex. You didn't?

Luckily, my daughter can take the pill, and I should not be a grandmother for years.

Yes, but why promote it by handing out condoms? Does that like not give the OK.

My parents raised me to consider the consequences of all my actions.

My mom always said she wasn't stupid, she knew we'd have sex before our wedding night and that we'd probably try drinking or drugs along the way. She kept an open door policy as far as talking to her about that sort of thing and always said that if we were under the influence somewhere to not drive because she'd come get us.

As far as sex goes, she always said to be sure we really loved the person before we ever had sex with them. My brother got his high school girlfriend pregnant, and even though it took them 7 years, they got back together and are now married. My high school sweetheart and the man I gave my virginity to is still my best friend and we talk at least every other day if not every day.

Promote it?! Are you living in a cave?! Do you even have children?!

Condoms are better than nothing and the kids/adults will do what they are going to do.

Condoms for everyone!

They also make great water balloons.

I can't think of a better way for our tax dollars to be spent.
