Would you allow your 15 year old daughter to have sex in her room?

Daughter? Absolutely no chance. Son? I'd give him rewards

What do people make about the idea of universal contraceptive implants for teenagers? Sounds draconian but implants for everything seem to be the way forward tbh

So someone told me that she used to have sex with her boyfriend at 15 years old while her parents were home. And that sometimes he stayed over. In that moment i tried to imagine my own future daughter and I really really tried to be liberal and open minded and that but I gathered I can not in any ways allow my daughter to have sex in my house. I will probably go kill the boyfriend with a hammer and watch him die. I don't care that I'll go to prison or anything. Would you allow that to happen?

A 15 year old should be doing her home works and preparing for GCSE.

If I see my 15 year old daughter with a boy, bad things will happen. Worse will happen to the boy and his family.

Kids should only use their genitalias for urination and there should not be an upgrade on that function until they are at least 20 years.

If she was mature enough to make the decision and wasn't being taken advantage of then yes. Better it happens somewhere she feels safe and comfortable than in a strange house or worse. It's perfectly natural for most people of that age, it's going to happen anyway and making the right choices about it yourself is all a part of growing up.

Wouldn't have the same shock value, and wouldn't be comparing like with like. For those of us who know the context in which the word 'gorah' is typically used, it's no different to saying 'cracker' or 'n*gger.'

Someone said it means 'white person' so I didn't see that as the same as n*gger but if Gorah means cracker then fair enough

African/ Caribbean culture too

Look, everyone has their own kind of parenting style, who are you to judge? If a 15 year old is emotional secure enough to be having sex and the parents have a relationship where that 15 year old can easily talk to them about sex, then there is no issue.

The only kind of bad parenting is when you are abusive.

Wtf gora literally means white people. It's not racist at alllll, Asians use it all the time

What reason is that? Answer: there isn't one.

A limit of this kind is necessarily arbitrary -- there's no way that you could legally account for the differences in physical and emotional maturity among individuals of any given age.

I bet you'd totally be using this argument if the legal age of consent was 14. Totally.

Actually, no.

The reason there is a limit is cause this is what society believes that young people have the emotional maturity to make that decision.

I know why there is a limit. But your claim was that 16 is the limit for a reason; the essence of my counter-claim was that there's no particular reason why 16 is a better age of consent than 15 or 17. It's not evidence-based. There's no study that says that 16 is the age at which every single child suddenly becomes emotionally (or even physically, for late bloomers) mature enough to decide whether or not to have sex. That simply can't be said.

People mature at different rates but, for practical purposes, the line has to be drawn somewhere. The only 'reason', if it can be called that, that it's 16 is because it lines up with the old school-leaving age (i.e. people could leave school and go straight into work at 16). Nothing to do with society believing anything about emotional maturity -- as this thread has shown quite perfectly, society is actually full of prudes who don't think that 16 is appropriate either, insisting that sex should only be had at 18, 21, or after marriage.



That's basically all I've argued here in both my previous post and this one.



I know; I haven't said anything to the contrary.

Are you a virgin by any chance?

Pretty sure 15 is under age of consent, no matter how mature
