>The simple fact is
that teenagers are probably more intensely sexually aware than almost any other age group in our
society, and we will never be able to stop that from being so.<

I did not intend to obstruct this. My kids will be well-informed as soon as they are either willing or required to hear it. If they aren't willing at puberty's onset - they will be required.

>we as a society want people to engage in sincere and caring sex with people
they genuinely care about and the surest way to guarantee that is to at least allow if not encourage
those at the very beginning of their sexual experimentation to engage in sincere and caring sex with
people they genuinely care about.<

Allow - yes. Encourage? I'm not so sure. Sex is imho a most powerful thing - and it can be gift or curse depending on how it is handled. I am grateful that while my parents were frank with me about reproductive issues, sex itself was something I learned from age peers. Indeed, my parents' sexuality was pretty effectively concealed from me.

I see my job as teaching neither shame nor carelessness. I believe that I can be sexually liberated and yet practice and teach the high virtues of being discreet and selective. Sex is a big deal, Daughter - don't be miserly with it but don't squander it either.
