Teens are crafty AND horny. You can't prevent them from having sex, if they really want to. You can talk to them about appropriate partner choice, about birth control, about using condoms, you can even say, "Hey, if you are even thinking about anal sex, PLEASE use lube so you don't hurt yourself." But, I know so many parents who thought they were doing everything they could to prevent their teens from having sex.....most of them are now grandparents with their teens being parents.
I know my mother thought horror stories and speaking of "sin" and giving me a curfew would prevent me from having sex. It didn't. Kids can have sex in the middle of the day, as easily as they can have it late at night. Teen get really imaginative when they are horny. The human body is ready to breed in the mid teens, not much can be done to stop sexual experimentation. But, educating them and letting them know they can come to you if they have a question or concern is the best parents can do.
I think PREPARING them for sexual relationships, talking to them about what they WANT from boys in a sexual relationship, (and if you are talking to a girl, letting them know that a boy is more likely to be able to have sex without an emotional attachment than she is, if you have a boy, letting him know that RESPECT is as important as getting laid, and making sure birth control and reducing STD chances are the best a parent can do.

Personally I guess I sort of see it as I will always be there for my kids when I have kids weather they do good or bad and I will always proudly stand by there side.
on the other hand my other sister was at a party the night of homecoming with her boyfriend and then once some people there started to do some not so smart things she had the brains to call me and be like hay pick me up I had no problem with those two hanging out that night when the excuse that she felt like a ice cream from a icecream store so they were gonna walk there(probably 10 miles there) I just told her to do her thing in her room and not go in some parking lot or something(did I feel comfortable with that decision no but I know that shes in a good relationship, makes pretty good choices and well being her age ide be doing the same and then some and i have to stay realistic with her and not expect her to even kiss till her wedding)then it was sorta funny how she said that they were gona go get condoms and go out back in the barn(weve got a barn were our horses are). Needless to say she walked back in her room were her boyfriend was watching tv and she majicaly took condoms out of her little(not me but my other sister)sisters room. Did I lay in bed hereing her every few minutes thinking I want to go cut his hands and tounge off deffintly but I just sort of kept turning my tv up louder and louder.....later in the middle of the night she txt me and is like um maybe another condom and i couldnt help but laugh and say ok.....she came in my room to get it and as i was going in my drawer shes like you dont have flavored condoms do you, I laughed and said something and then go is flavored lube is ausomer I noticed I had a bottle I didnt open yet and like here hope he likes strawbery, and same with that clit sensitizing gel the first time. The next morning after he left(i miss the nights ide stay up all night and watch tv with my boyfriend)we just sorta joked and she well lets say I didnt need to know every detail while we were eating breakfeast. Could of they had vaginal sex yes, would she here a few things she wouldnt like to here yes but over the years shes learned what to and not to do and that theres a thin line you cross if you have vaginal sex. Shes had sex with her boyfriend before, and I made it clear weather or not you use a condom and are on birthcontrol your just not gona be having sex cause its something that I dont want you to risk, or something that you will regret later on in life and it was a while until she she saw him again outside of school, and even in school with her your able to let her know and she seems to be more affected by words and her being upset about it then me punishing her.
with that said its yeh, i dont mind saying yeh use a condom use lube if you want
And the boundries are clear with them, you dont sretch them and you dont try to stretch them. Ive told em do anything you want as long as hes not having sex with you vaginally. Also about who, as your not gona get a reputaion of slut because your not in a healthy relationship
