Would you allow your teenage children to have sex in your home?

I'm personally not a parent yet, but I know I wouldn't allow it. I mean, I know they would sneak around and do it, but I'd rather wonder than know it's happening.

As of right now I don't have children so it is hard to say if I would or not, but I don't think I would allow it.

I don't know... I started having sex at 16 and my mom didn't care - I regularly fucked my boyfriend in my room even when she was home - I would just close my bedroom door. However.... my kids.....um...no? Probably not? Dont even think about it? Forget it - your not dating until your 25??? Not sure which.lol

Yep. It's going to happen regardless, why fight it.

I am going to say I would probably institute a "Don't ask, don't tell" as long as they were being safe about it. However, with that being said, I have 2 boys, so permitting them to have their girlfriends spend the night and that resulting in sex would probably not be something I would be open to. That is just asking for some girl's daddy to show up with a baseball bat at my door. I'm trying to teach my boys to respect themselves and the girls they will eventually date. Condoms will be available in my house, but I wouldn't invite the situation by saying "Have at it!" and allow them space and time to do it.

I did it at my house many times before being of age and being commented, what the hell I do not see the problem in it. I will even go tot the store and get the condoms, because they will just do it somewhere else.

I had boys stay the night and I got to stay the night at boys houses, not all the time did it result in sex

I want to say no, but I'm just not sure. I guess we'll cross the bridge when we get there.

My mom was perfectly okay with it, even encouraging, however I went to college a year early, so I was already in college at 17. She just made sure I was on the pill first. My dad on the other hand, is still not okay with it.

I am so very thankful to my mother for raising me the way she did. She raised me to cultivate my own good values and gave me all her trust. I've always been responsible and feared getting into trouble and disappointing her. I made my own choice to wait until I was at least 16 to lose my virginity but ended up waiting until I was almost 18. My first time was not at my own home but we did have sex at my house and my mom didn't care. She let him stay over and she let me go stay with him. She knew I was safe and had access to condoms and I was on the pill. We are very open and she will be supportive of me in whatever I do as long as I am safe and happy. my mother and I have an amazing relationship that is open and full of trust. I can't imagine life in any other way.

I'd have to say "no", I wouldn't let them. I had a French friend growing up whose parents let them (older teens/adult children) have friends over and even supplied the condoms (I think one of the parents was a sex educator and other was sports medicine dr.) because they said they'd rather they do it somewhere safe and under their roof. I was 21, he was 26 and I still felt too uncomfortable to have sex at his place with his parents home.

I'm not really sure.
If they want to have sex, they're going to have it somewhere else if they can't do it at home. I'd want them to not be having sex at all, but I don't really see that being a likely option. I guess as long as they were being safe, and I didn't have to hear it.

My 17 year old brother has aspergers, and he's had 3 girlfriends. He was 16 the first time he had sex, and now he's in a relationship with a girl he loves, and loves him back. So that's a bit of a rude generalization.

Basically, I would make sure they are being responsible and understand that this isn't just something you do for the hell of it. They have to fully understand what it is they are doing and be responsible and stay protected.

Also, I don't want to hear it or see it.

If those requirements are met, yes. I would allow it.

I would probably let them be in their room with the door closed, and turn my back to whatever might be happening. I think it's much healthier to let teenagers explore that kind of thing if they want to. Probably no overnights though.
