Sigh. To an average teenager--at least 16 or more--teenage sex is not only acceptable, it is THE highest good, Grail and goal to all social activity.

The fact that this occasionally culminates in actual teenage sex is pretty understandable, considering the magnitude of the repressed drives behind it. It has nothing to do, IMHO, with theoretical judgements from the deluded, the jealous, or the bureaucratically inclined. Might as well say evolution is unacceptable. It's going to happen regardless of opinion. SOme might even consider it owrth celebrating (especially the participants).

Dealing with the latent ramifications is another issue. I suspect if teenage pregnancy were not an issue, no-one would much care about teenage sex, except the participants.
