Should teens be taught not to have sex at all or have safe sex?

Not to have sex at all includes sex education. Letting them know how bad sex is for them meantioning unwanted oregnancies, STDs, heartbreaks and depression.

Safe sex has its cons. Just because a teen is not pregnant and is SRD free doesn't mean safe sex has no cons.

But no sex has no cons.

  • I voted B.

    I want my teens to lose their virginity soon. But they all refused.

    What my wife and I did:

    1) discuss "sex Ed" since young according to age. At 3 all already know how to name their private parts and that of the opposite gender.

    2) complement school and church "sex Ed" with knowledge of LGBTQ+, child rearing (Use them as "bad" examples 😁), and let them know that porn to sex is like Fast and Furious to Driving.

    (I never stop them secretly watching porn. I know I can't. So I tell them what to be cautious of instead.)

    3) ask them to start dating and bring friends to house during festives.

    Warn them they'll be heartbroken. But its OK because that's what school days mean: to make mistakes without lifelong consequences.

    But so far none wants to go on date even when I agree to pay for it.

    ===

    To conclude, sex is part of a healthy lifestyle. Kids need to learn to do it responsibly. The sooner they succeed, the happier their adult life will be.

    • Ok, I have so many questions on why you’re obsessed with your kids’ sex lives. That’s just weird 🤨

    • @Sasha0426 it's weird and creepy for a parent to tell their teen kids to have sex.

    • Heaven's forbid a parent isn't a complete prude and wants to help their kid out.

  • When I was in school they taught us about sex ed, STDs/STIs, HIV/AIDS, birth control, and condoms. They just said "If you ever have sex, use a condom." That was basically it. It wasn't the best honestly. But I made sure I knew everything so that way I'd be able to protect myself for when I became an adult (I mean, I'm queer so who would teach me all of the other protections? Not the school and not my parents that's for sure). I'm unsure how to answer the question though. When I was a teen, I wasn't allowed to date anyone and practiced abstinence. Most people questioned why we were taught about it if we weren't suppose to have it. But honestly, we were taught about alcohol, smoking, and drugs and were told not to do them as teens, so I saw no difference with sex.

  • Reducing a beautiful thing to a crass bodily act is just sad. Sex has more to it than just losing your virginity in 5 mins. Both cheapening it and making it sound like something disgusting does far greater disservice to yoing teens and young adults.

    I think its best to teach them abstinence while also teaching them the beauty of a sexual relationship and why they should wait, in an age appropriate manner. Children should not be having sex. Period.

    • Thank you for your thought. I agree with you.

    Teens should not be having sex until they are an adult and mature enough to be responsible. They wouldn’t either if parents were more involved in their lives and didn’t turn them over to the corrupt public school system to pervert and groom them!

  • It's a tough subject because the reality is, not exposing them to the concept of sex whatsoever will ensure they don't have sex, but for the few that do, will do it without knowledge and safety. On the other hand, introducing sex through education while helpful for safety, also exposes them to the concept and they're more likely to engage in it early on. So what's the best approach to limit underage sex? Who knows.

  • Well now this is too unrealistic like as a parent thinking that they shouldn’t have sex at all is like saying you didn’t even want your kid as how did he get to see the world? So as most people end up creating a family in life it doesn’t mean that people should have sex just when they do that, so the right approach would be to teach teens safe sex as well as developing their emotional intelligence skills like sex is about bonds or even mutual liking so if you produce good emotional teens they will enjoy sex more in a more positive way and also will be safer!!

    • Parents like you teach their kids to have sex. You advertise it.

    • Damn lol, I get that Im 29 but am not that old to be a parent yet, I still have got some small years in me 😂

    • But anyway about that I don’t advertise it at all but even the way it is right now is wrong also 😮‍💨😮‍💨 so I guess it should be put in motion but what I’m saying is that sex is about bonds and mutual likings so is jo shame yet it’s not a desire as well, prople misconcept things all the time, sex is not lustuous nor is it a need and if you dig deep down in the part where no one likes actually sex isn’t even necessary and I still don’t have a clear answer of wether sex should even be done or not but as things stand it happens so why can’t it happen in a better way instead;that’s what I’m suggesting 😊😁

  • Sex is the most natural normal pleasure and our bodies become ready for it in our teens as our minds become ready to explore relationships. Safe, pleasurable sex is way better than being taught it is wrong and all the negative feelings of guilt.

    • I guess you would demand your kids to have that pleasure.

    • Exploring relationships at a young age is the main reason why so many teens enter adulthood with fucked up minds. Their minds are not developed for relationships.

    • Demand? No way. That is my point. I would not demand that they do that they don’t. I am not a control freak and/or driven by dogma. My children will be supported in their freedom of choice.

  • Well my kids know about their private parts and that no one is allowed to touch them.. they know not to listen to anyone that wants you to do something you are not comfortable with even if it is someone they know or they threaten them. They will learn about safe sex when they are older but for them sex before marriage is Haram.. so most likely because they are scared of their dad they won't do it.. plus my kids already know they need to cover themselves when they are older so boys won't look at them so highly unlikely my kids would be hoes..

  • Many if not most teens are going to have sex.. just look at the stats on how many are virgins when they turn 20... not many. Teach them safe sex, trust them to make good decisions and be there for them if they have any questions.

    • Sure because their parents tell them to have sex.

  • Only conservatives are stupid enough to tell kids to not have sex.

    • Only liberals are perverted enough to advertise sex among teens

    • First of all I'm as far from being a liberal as I am a conservative. You don't need to advertise sex. Teens are all about that. Always have been always will be. Teens want to FUCK! Period. You're an imbecile if you think otherwise. You've never used your brain in your life if you think you're going to stop kids from fucking by telling them not to. If you want them to stop entirely you have two choice. Become a communist and use government force to change the words and concepts that people are allowed to put into the world. Basically mind control. Dont even let teens know there is such a thing as sex. Or you can advocate for some kind of religious control where government punishes people for having sex. Some kind of sharia law but for Christians cuz I know y'all are Christians. OR in the REAL world you educate kids and let them make their own decisions. But we can't do that can we? We can't let people be free. We have to ensure every single teen is saved from the tragic fate of having kids too early or getting STDs. I guarantee you no matter how authoritarian a system you put in place, Teens will be fucking.

    • Why have I and almost all my classmates never been fucked before marriage?

  • Well today's generation is much faster. So expect next generation to be way faster than us.

    Sex is a biological need. You cannot stop someone from having sex

    However you can give the knowledge and repercussions of doing with wrong person like heart break, emotional attachment and other complicated problems

    By this they will apply their brain and then take a decision.

    • Of course you can Sex is not the only way of getting pleasure. Moreover sex is not the only way of getting sexual pleasure. Sex is not a need for your own survival. No one dies because of celibacy.

    • Yeah I agree with your perspective, but looking at the generation change people don't think much about the future Technology has made them lazy, every thing is available on a click of a few buttons They want to try new things, they want privacy , now these days kids share everything with parents So just imagine the upcoming generation They will know all things before turning teens and they may want to try the same Hence a vision of the long term should be given, but you can't stop them

    • They only want to try when you encourage them to.

  • both

    both are needed, because they will go with either and also both (at different times) and it is just naive that people are not just going to make their own decisions, or mistakes, rights or wrongs... the more informed someone is, the better

    but you also have to teach young people about so many other things as well, about life and also from themselves and not just sex

  • Abstinence can and will lead to the spread of STIs and pregnancies. If you tell teens not to do something, they will, they'll just do it behind your back. There's a reason why kids still vape and still bully, despite how often they're told not to.
    And I can name a good amount of people from my school who slept around, it's not some kind of myth lmao

    • How will abstinence lead to sex?

    • Curiosity? You've got urges you want to explore and, now that you're told not to, they'll feel even more dangerously fun to do so. Teenagers will feel more eager for sex the more they're told not to. It's a part of immature rebellion

    • Should we tell teens not to use drugs? If we do according to your logic they will try

    • Show All
  • I'd rather if they didn't, however it's something a lot teens are going to end up doing and keeping them from having sex will make them most likely do the opposite. I will teach them what they need to know about contraceptives, stds, pregnancies, etc. if they decide to sleep with someone.

    • Will you teach them that even safe sex is not good for their age?

    • I would tell them that they don't need to lose their virginity at a young age just because everyone else is doing it, and they should save it for someone who's worth it. However, if you only teach your kids "don't have sex" they might try to rebel against you. So it's important to teach them about using protection or birth control just in case if they do have sex but warn them that even sometimes using contraceptives aren't always 100% effective. Doesn't matter what age you are though; anyone can get an std or unwanted pregnancy at any time, so it's better to teach safe sex early.

    • Teaching safe sex but the bad sides of safe sex without being controlling is what parents should do. Yes, STDs can be caught at any age. That's one of many reasons why I want to be with only one man and who is loyal and healthy.

  • It's impossible to prohibit it and there's nothing wrong with it as long as you're careful

  • I think teens should be taught that abstinence is okay... as a teen. Save the sex for later, when they are older and capable of a relationship.

  • They are going to have sex, maybe a few won't, so rather than become a parent at 16 or end up with a raging STD I will go with safe sex.

  • Abstinence takes self discipline.

  • Abstinence is drastically better.

  • Sex is only bad for you if you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

  • Yeah abstinence doesn't work and has never worked. It only works for you because you are susceptible to brainwashing.

  • Teens are going to be quite promiscuous. He's good that you teach him correct principles to keep them safe in case they decide to get carried away and have sex. Teach them to use condoms to prevent STDs.

  • B they shouldn't have sex
