I found a girl in my son's bed

I don't think I'm comfortable with my 17-year-old bringing 16-year-old girls home -- but what to do?

    Hey 17 y.o. kids are genetically programmed to hump

    Why does anyone, parents, religious types, right wingers, anyoe think they can keep kids from wanting sex and having sex?

    Fear? Punishment? That just fucks them up, or makes them want to do it more. You can try and keep the kid from humping and you might succeed but why?

    Have the stern talk about sex, STDs, being a teen parent, buy him some rubbers, take out some of the mystic, tell him to be smart about it and leave him alone.
