lizzie, thanks for explaining. although i still disagree, you did explain that in a way i could understand. it is easy to see the generational gap even from your teens and mine.

your senario shows a quaintness that doesn't happen very often anymore which is parental knowledege and involment and even interest.

i watch jeremy kyle and am gobsmaked at the amount of people who will sleep around and have kids through one night stands. but that is me being the age i am thinking, it wasn't that bad when i was younger.
by the way, im in my 30s now, not sure how that matters but just to let you know. i have in my time, stopped something because i wasn't comfortable with going any further. i think sex should be on a step by step basis. just because you are comfortable doing one thing doesn't mean you have to do the next step.

however looking back to past times doesn't help, it never has done and never will. times change and we have to change with them.

have a great day everyone
take care
