Talking with the boyfriend last night about the loss of virginity, and how we intend to talk to our kids about sex. His initial comment was: "Those boys are going to be having sex at fourteen. Gotta get started!" My response, of course, was to ask if he'd also want his daughters having sex at fourteen. He turned green.
Now, my boyfriend lost his virginity at fourteen. It was such a positive experience that he never saw a girl naked again until two years later. Although he likes to brag that he started having sex so young, he knows he wasn't ready, and that his best female friend wasn't really ready either. And we all know how I lost mine, so...
In the end, we decided that, regardless of gender, our kids are never having sex. Ever.
Just kidding. In the end, we decided that our hypothetical future children of either gender will be asked to follow three guidelines when it comes to sex. Is it safe? Is it respectful? Is it fun? I think that pretty much covers it.
