What are you teaching your kids regarding *** before marriage?

julesl68 asked:

Are you saying it’s ok as long as they use birth control? Are you encouraging abstinence until marriage? Or are you not saying one way or the other?

I am teaching my kids that *** is meant for a husband and wife to share together in marriage. There is just too much emotional crap that comes with *** and unfortunately there is no birth control that protects the heart!! *** is much more enjoyable when you don’t have to worry about; what if I get pregnant, does he/she love me, will he/she leave, what if mom and dad find out, etc.

We are teaching abstinence, just as his school has done. We’re Catholic, and have strong family values/morals. However, he’s totally aware of ALL sexual information as well. He’s 15.

We teach absitence. I used to think that was absurd thinking (when I was a teenager myself), but with abstinance, we also talk about the REASONS for it. I think that makes a much bigger impact than simply saying “don’t do it”. It allows them to have the knowledge to make an informed decision. We bring up topics such as single-parenting issues, emotional issues, and diseases.

Knowledge is power.

I discouraged my girls from having *** before marriage, even though I didn’t wait. But I told them I wanted them to be safe and protected so they were on the pill and were educated on safe *** when they started into a serious relationship in high school. Prior to that, we were very strict on our curfews and who they could hang out with. I was the kind of mother who always checked up on them, where they were, who they were with, if the parents weren’t home they couldn’t go to that house. There were fights and crying and hurt feelings and sometimes they didn’t like me at all, but that’s what parents do to protect their kids from themselves. When they are out on their own they have a good foundation of knowledge and boundaries.

sex is meant for marrige. nothing bad can come it when you are married and you know that your partner is yours and will be next wk.lol my son is 3 and im christian i beleive ther is reasons why we are taught not to have *** outside of marrige. it just makes things more complicated. *** should be enjoyed by husband and wife.so that babies are not born with out there fathers and stds are not passed around,if they were married none of this would be an issue.it is a good idea to follow that.and that is what i will teach but as we know everyone will have to make there own choices in the end we can just try an show them the way to go.

I’m telling them it’s fine as long as they use protection *and* birth control *and* as long as everyone is treating each other with respect.

I’m also telling them that *** with someone you love is infinitely different and more amazing than *** with someone you don’t love.

We teach our children (by mutual agreement), that the Bible is the final authority in life. So in that respect, we teach them abstinence. If you teach your kids abstinence, then you (and your kids) don’t have to worry about STD’s, teenage pregnancies, and a heap of other problems!

I taught my son that the bible says to present our bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is our reasonable service.
I also taught him about safer *** practices. As he had to choose to accept or reject Christ for himself, he also had to decide how to live for him. It’s personal. If he chose to not follow the scriptures it would not serve holiness for him to possibly contract a virus that could kill him or make a child he was not ready to support.

Informed choices are what I have always strived to instill in my child. I taught him right from wrong and allowed him to live his life. I continue to pray for him and I am available to answer his questions. As a parent, that is what I see as my reasonable service to my child.

I am teaching my kids that *** is decision that should be made by individuals who truly have the maturity to handle the awesome responsibility that comes with it. I have made it clear that their sexuality isnt something to be flaunted, nor is it there to gain status or get what they want. *** is about love, not lust or infatuation. I am not saying they should wait till marriage but wait till they know they are able to handle the responsibility, such as being a parent, etc.

My Daughter is only 3 and i have been thinking about this for a while now. I got pregnant at 16. She is going to know how hard it is to have a baby so young. I am very much going to teach her about both, abstinence is a great way from getting STD and unexpected pregnancies, but it only works if you child follows it. I am also going to teach her about birth control and condoms. because if she is not going to practice Abstinence then i want her to be protected. I also think that birth control needs to be tough in schools along with abstinence so kids stop getting pregnant and STD’s. Kids are going to have *** no matter how hard we try to get them to wait until they are married. i just think they need to be very well educated on the whole situation

I’m bringing my kids up in a Christian home and our beliefs are they should wait until marriage. If they have questions, they know they can ask. They also know that if they chose to have *** before marriage that we would not be pleased, but would still love them unconditionally.

In the end they have to make their own choices. We did the best we could, now it’s up to them
