Is it ok for a mother to encourage her teenage daughter to be sexually active?

Answer 1

I don't think my mum ever encouraged me but she certainly never discouraged me. I lost my virginity to my boyfriend at the age of 15 (we had dated for 4 years) and I told my mum straight away. She knew when he and I first start doing foreplay and then oral sex etc, I always asked her questions if I wnted to know something about sex. She always encouraged me to be safe and to make the right decisions. He and my father have a very healthy sex life- they still have sex regularly.

When I was 17 and in a relationship my parents knew that I was having sex and we used to joke around about which one of us were having the most sex etc. I think it is healthy to encourage your children to express what they are feeling- if it's hormones then fine encourage them to explore their sexuality.

My parents were very open about sex which I think was a great thing because unlike a lot of my friends I never had to sneak around or rebel against my parents and I think due to that it is why I never slept around with boys or even now at the age of 21 why I don't have one night stands and things when most of my friends do.

I will encourage my children to be safe but to explore their emotions, feelings, hormones- but I wouldn't encourage them to go and have sex with 10 different people when they are 16.

Answer 2

Well, it wouldn't be in my book of things to do to my daughter because when you have sex you are giving yourself to that person and making a comitment that you probably can't keep unless you are married. Therefore, in my honest opinion no it is not right for a mother to encourage a daughter to be sexually active. However, it is right for a mother to encourage her daughter to talk to her when she feels she is ready or if she thinks she is pregnant or something like that. A mother should always encourage her daughter that if she cannot say no make sure there is a condom to use. Now, these are just my opinons so please don't freak out on me. I hope this answers your question. Good luck!

Answer 3

Hopefully this is a joke. HELL NO!! I know girls that are prostitutes that wouldn't even encourage their kids or condone such behavior... The only way I'm doing that unless she's like a grown *** woman like in her 30's, but not when she's wet behind the ears. How about encouraging her to do good in school, participate in after school activities. I'mma be blunt:
If ANY woman "encourages" their children to do ANYTHING that a child under 18 or 21 ain't got no business doing, than you are not a mother. I'm Done.

Answer 4

It all depends on how well you, as the parent, think you have raised your daughter with the correct facts of life and if so and you both have talked about birth control and condoms and those things, i dont see why there should be a problem. I mean wouldnt you as a parent rather know that you taught your child right from wrong from the start or find out .... 9 months later... if you and your daughter are very close and understanding there should be no problem.

Answer 5

uless you want her pregnant or have a std. Talk to her about sex and the consiquencis that go along with it like pregnancy and stds. Show her pictures and do research. Tell her about safe sex and how to use a condom or put her on birthcontrol. Tell her that if she don't want to have sex she has the right to say NO. Tell her about peer pressure. Tell her about masturbation and the diff things she can do. so she can have pleasure but not have to go to a guy for it. Now if want her to be like say go have sex that's just wrong. Encourage her on safe sex and masturbation and tell her if she ever wants to know anything else jus to ask and be honest about it. Cuz she will find out in school and get the wrong answers. and when she does have sex for the first time let her know your there for her. Be her friend. But try and encourage her what she has is special and should be given to the man you marry.

Answer 6

that's bad influence if you do encourage a teenager but most parents can stop thier children from being introduced to sex. the moms should talk about sex to their daughters because if not they will try it for themselves and they will have little or no knowledge of it. arents that encourage their chilren to sex are very inmature and should not be parents. what parents need to do is to create concience and if the daughter is already active, it's really difficult to say: no u can't do it. so the mother should teach her to make safe and healthy choices

Answer 7

No it is not ok to encourage your teenage daughter to have sex....if you know she is already having sex it would be ok to encourage safe sex and teach of all the consequences that can come with being sexually active.

Answer 8

No. that's not okay.
that's really messed up.
Most parents don't want their children having sex. My dad even told me I couldn't date until I was 34, get married until 40 and have children until 44. haha.
I'm almost 20 and I live with my boyfriend so obviously stuff happens but I'm not a teenager I'm an adult and I can handle my life.
I'm sorry but no teen should be having sex. There's WAY too many young girls pushing buggies without the slightest clue to how the rest of their life is going to be- unpleasant.

There's a lot of emotional stuff that goes with sex and no teen is mature enough to handle that- sorry but true.

PLUS it's very dangerous for teenage girls to get pregnant and deliver a child its very hard on their bodies.
Actually last weekend a girl I grew up with was 17 and died after birth because it was just too much.

I'm not trying to scare anyone but labour is REALLY risky that young. I read you shouldn't have a child until you're atleast 21 because then your body is a little more stable for it.

Answer 9

It's not okay for a mother to encourage her teenage daughter to be sexualy active but it is okay for a mother to encourage her teenage daughter to PRACTICE SAFE SEX!

Answer 10

You are joking, first of all, how old is this teenager? Anyone under the age of sixteen shouldnt even be considering sex, its a very very serious thing, and it can destroy your life. What happens when your daughter actually grows up, and finds the man of her dreams, and has already slept with umpteen guys, how is she gonna feel? There are girls i know that are in couseling because theyve slept with guys they didnt even like because they were young, and didnt understand the gravity of sex, maybe you should sit down and really think what your getting your child into..

Answer 11

How old is this teenager? and I think anything less than 17 is a NO! I am not for anyone telling a teenager to have sex.. then comes pregnancy! I know! I was there! 17 and had my first kid... I wish my mom was there to tell me that isn't good and to finish my education as well as live a fun fun life... other than having kids... Not cool, tell the mother that it isn't cool at all!!
