If you had teenage children would you provide condoms for them regardless of weather you know they were sexual

Question

i wiil my kis are young but i will

Answer 1

Nope, NEVER. I believe in abstinence until marriage.

Answer 2

I was actually just having this conversation with my husband last night... I want very strongly for my child to wait until marriage to have sex, but in reality I know that there is a strong possibility that will not be the case. Not that it can't by any means. I will definitely have her put on a birth control at the appropriate age, not for her to feel like she can have sex, but to protect her. Too many girls are afraid to talk to their parents about sex, and definitely don't admit they are active. Most do not tell their doctors in fear that their parents will find out. Just because our children make the mistake of having sex at too young of an age doesn't make us bad parents, it means they are teenagers and have hormones and temptation. My parents talked to me about no having sex all the time, I was a good kid, never drank, snuck out, smoked etc. I still had sex with my boyfriend at only 16 years old. Better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 3

yea, that is a tough call to make. My oldest is only 11 years old so I hope this issue is a few more years down the road for me. I think first you have to educate them. Make them aware of the emotional and physical consequences that sex can have, but at the same time they need to know that it is a beautiful natural thing also. When they fully understand this yes I think they should have protection. We would be stupid and irresponsible parents not to believe that teenagers are having sex. We did when I was a teenager. The key would be to make them understand just because you are providing protection that does not give them the green light to have sex.

I am really glad I have 3 boys. I do not think this is as scary for me as is for parents of girls.

Answer 4

I would take care of them being educated about relationships, sex, rape, pregnancy, AIDS and other illnesses,etc.Would I provide condoms?First of all - I wouldn't pretend to have been a nun and I would be open for conversations about all that (and won't make my children think I have no idea they are sexuallyactive).Second of all - I won't provide condoms since my children might need them a year after I have given them which means the condoms would be dangerous to be used.I would have condoms only if I am sexually active and my children would be allowed to take one or two but not all of them - I also need condoms:) I will give my children more pocket money and they will have to save from them so they can buy condoms.I will make sure my sons are responsible boys and know they have to take care of their girlfriends.I'll also make sure my daughters are responsible and respect themselves enough not to have sex with a boy who doesn't have condoms.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I have a 14 yr old son, 11 & 4 yr old daughters. I have been very open w/them about reproduction, yet I also STRONGLY emphasis on waiting to have sexual relations (w/my 14 & 11 yr old!), until they: are an adult(at LEAST 18), have a job and most importantly, are in a stable, mature reltionship w/someone they love. I waited until I was 19, and obtained my own supply of bc through my gyno. Soooo, I would rather encourage them to say "No" to having sex as a teen (I did!!) then supply bc, yet I'd rather supply it (ONLY if I were fairly sure they were sexually active!) then deal w/an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy or std!.

Answer 7

I may not provide condoms, but I make sure they are aware of the importance and the need to be safe if they choose to have sex. I let them know that I want them to come to me and we can then check out options for birth control and STD control. I kind of feel like providing the condoms is like giving them a ticket to say go try it.

Answer 8

I would and did so. Teens are humans, humans ARE sexual beings. Teens WILL have sex if THEY so choose it is not a parents choice to make. Even though a young woman may be using the pill the condom provides a huge layer of extra protection as well as protection from STD's. Again Humans have sex and teens are human it's that simple.

Answer 9

Yeah, I would provide them with condoms, only because I had my son at 16. I would explain to him all the things that unsafe or even safe sex can result in, like having a baby still in high school, or getting an STD. My parents knew I was having sex and they never cared and I want my son to know I care if is or not and I want him to be open and honest with me about it.

Answer 10

Yes, I would! I would rather my child no about sex and the safety of sex than to go into it not knowing and get pregnant or worse! I think all children should be able to talk to their parents about sex.
My daughter is almost 3 so it is rather far off. Her being sexually active. I hope like most parents I'm sure that she doesn't have sex until she's like 25 or something. lol! But, to be realistic it will probably, unf. be earlier.
I would rather her be able to come and talk to me. The same way I had always gone to my mom w/questions or concerns. I think it's better that way.

Answer 11

Yes, I will. I will also educate them on AIDS, pregnancy, STD's, relationships, and all other things that comes along with sex. I do hope my children wait to have sex until married or at least 18+ for the fact I lost my virginity quite young. But, I'd rather give my children condoms so their save towards pregnancy & all STDS. I will also put my daughter on birthcontrol right when she gets her peiord. As for I'm on birthcontrol.

I ended up loosing my virginity at 12. My mother (Father isn't around) never talked to me about sex or anything. I ended up being very sexually active. I still am sexually active but, it's not with more than one person, my boyfriend. I want my children to be able to come to me & be able to talk to me about everything & anything.
