Would you allow your teen children to read sexual responsibility magazines?

I don't think that promotes "responsible" sexual behavior. I think it encourages kids to think that sex without marriage is OK.

They're already having sex - whether you want to admit the reality or not. We can tell them sex before marriage is not ok if you want, but personally, my kids are going to know what condoms and sex are all about long before they reach "the age." Why? My job as a parent is to educate them, and I'd rather be the one educating and also to prevent disease and early pregnancy. My role isn't to judge if they choose to have sex before marriage - that is their choice. I can only give them the knowledge and the tools. Besides, it's like drinking - I think if they're lightly exposed, they won't be so apt to run off and binge. For me, I never had the sex ed talk and went off in the deep end as a teen. I'm married with a child now, and lucky that nothing bad happened, but this is a totally different generation with some scary disease statistics.
