exactly..and I have extremely high morals/values...but sex doesn't equal bad for me inside or outside of a relationship.
I guess I have never really had "casual" sex. There really wasn't casual anything about it. I was responsible, prepared and completely open to the encounter. I am particularly remembering one encounter that was incredibly fulfilling and really really good with a "friend" that I met up with after not seeing him for years, we suddenly realised there was a physical attraction and it was amazing, only once and very important, special and enjoyable.
Committed relationship sex is kind of an ideal for me but not the only way to have great and responsible sex.
I think teens can be incredibly responsible. With the right environment, with the right support, with the right information they can make good, careful, responsible decisions.
If the stigma attached to sex wasn't there then there wouldn't be the emotional trauma attached to it when teen sex relationships are just sexual relationships and nothing more.
I mean adults can have sex with the wrong person..that's a common mistake in any age group. Why do we expect better/perfect behaviour from our teens than from our adults.
I do not want my daugher's self esteem to be wrapped up in the opinions of others which is what the "reputation" thing is all about.
Also...I really like having sex within a love relationship but I can guarantee that if I weren't in a love relationship I'd still be having some sex somewhere.
