Question for parents of teenagers.......

My kids are very young but they'll be teenagers one day...while masturbation may be more safe for them I also wouldn't want them to develop an unhealthy reliance on it or for them to become preoccupied with porn. The ideal would be for them to have one partner they can explore what they want with and for them to use protection or contraception (sort of makes me a hypocrite). I'd rather them not lose their virginity until after 16 but you have to be prepared for the possibility it'll happen earlier

I'd rather my kid not have to deal with STDs and teen pregnancies. So that seems pretty straightforward.

I think this is answer is obvious. I wouldn't want my child to get someone/get pregnant and deal with other things that could come from sex, soo....

Its up to them and mine were raised right and with a very broad understanding of sex and none lost their virginity until after they were 18 very proud of them .

Asking for a friend, are you?

Um...

I'm not a parent, but I'd rather find out my kid was jacking off than having sex with the girl next door.
