You can't even stop a teen from having sex once he or she starts because it feels good. I am not being flippant, but that is the truth.
At 24 you cannot stop him and the truth is, it's just not your business anymore, not at all. That is an unrealistic expectation.
You can require that he not do so in your home, if he is living there, but he will find another place.
24 married or not is a realistic age to have an active and healthy sex life. Few people girls or boys are innocent past 18 (and even a lot younger) and recent studies indicate it has been that way as far back as the 1930's.
You can suggest he practice safe sex, but still you cannot make him.
My daughter was a good girl and lost her innocence willingly to her future husband at 17. I am glad she was able to tell us so we could advise her about birth control etc. She did not get pregnant, but her friend who could not be honest with her parents did. That marriage ended in divorce, My daughter's did not and she is now married to that man for going on 14 years. My son was 17 also , as I recall. Both decent kids. that is the reality.
Tend to that which you can and should control and stay away from what you can't or should not. his sex life is his affair, just as yours is your affair.

Well, I had a roommate when I was 18 that had full blown AIDS, and after caring for him I did not have sex till I was 20- and I was terrified!
At 24, unless hes a super freak Christian, he probably already has done the deed.If you told him growing up that sex is dirty & such, he is probably Gay or very confused- I have 4 gay friends whos parents tried to scare them away from having sex with those "dirty girls", so now they just have sex with fellows-no muss, no fuss.
All you can do is hope that the way you brought him up will discourage sexual activity....but he is his own person and you cant really make him do anything...wait!- are you rich?? If your rich, then you can threaten him with losing the inheritance....at least then he will hide those sneaky sexual ways from you!
Being overly controlling ( yes, you are) will not help a bit...I have many Catholic school girl friends ..and to put it mildly, they were not afraid of boys.....

unlike some of the idiotic answers you got, I'm not going to say that you no longer have parental right after investing in your son for 18 or more years. If he is still living off you and risking his life by being promiscuous or risking getting a girl pregnant then you have every right to have some say in this behavior. Even if this is not the case he should respect your wishes because of the time and money you spent on him. The main problem is if he decides not to hurt you he may just keep his activities from you. You are probably in a no win situation. The best I can suggest is to tell him your wishes then hope you raised him right.

You cant really stop him from having sex, he is considered an adult and of legal age and can make decisions for himself as to if he wants to be sexually active. Unless he is actually mentally handicapped and under your care then maybe you can ask the doctor about possible options.
Now if he is living at home and having sex under your roof and you dont want that happening there then you can simply tell him you wont allow that to be happening while he is living with you and if he continues to do so then he will have to move out.
You can tell him you care about him and dont want him to take any risk by having sex but you cant really stop him from doing it becasue he is of age and able to make his own choices.

he is 24, if he is not having sex then you should worry, stop babying him. It is time to let go. Have you seen the 40 year old virgin, do you want your son to end up like that

If he's still living at home and you don't want him having sex at home then you tell him he can't bring the girls home with him. And if he still wants to have sex and is living at home then tell him you don't like his behavior and tell him to move out. HE'S 24 YEARS OLD! If he's already living on his own then there's nothing you can do except hope he practices safe sex.

Think this would be almost impossible. I think the best thing to do would be to keep reminding him the importance of safe sex and try telling him all the things that he would be giving up if he were to get a girl pregnant if hes not ready to settle down. Fill his pockets and wallet with condoms before he goes out.

Why dont you let your son be a man? If he lives with you then kick him out. At 24 there is really nothing you can do. It is hard enough at 16.

Why would you want to do that?? You can't. He's going to do what he wants, he's 24 not 14. You only live once let him have fun as long as he is protecting himself from STD's or aids. Have a talk with him about protection and the consequences of not using it such as pregnancy.

How do you mean stop?
He's single or in a relationship?
Or he's having sex with a hooker?
At that age, it's so hard for a guy to resist the temptation of sex. Maybe, just tell him he better use contraceptives for his own safety.
