Adult Hypocrites About Sex?

Question

(This is not to offend anyone, just a question)
Why is it that when I read adults who answer teens' questions about sex, they always say how bad it is that kids are having sex so young and it's a sin and everything, yet they had sex for the first time when they were about 15 or 16 (and they admit it). Instead of saying how terrible it is for kids to have sex, why not just influence us not to have sex?

Answer 1

I'd never tell anyone not to have sex as long as they're old enough to understand what they're getting into and do it responsibly.

Answer 2

I think it may be because they themselves weren't ready for what happened next, after sex, and got hurt. Maybe in looking back, they did things that they now see as being unwise and don't want their kids to make the same mistakes that they did.

Sex is fun. But it's also a big responsibility. You have to make sure that no one is being hurt or has the potential to be hurt. You have to make sure that neither person has an std or an infection. You have to protect yourself. You have to make sure, at least the women do, that you won't get pregnant (until the time is right). You have to make sure that your sexual life doesn't interfere with your duties. And you also have to understand that having sex with someone does change the relationship. Even though a sexual relationship may be started in honesty, it can end very painfully. Sex is a big responsibility.

Answer 3

those adults have bought into the repressive fundamentalist evangelical republican social agenda. They don't actually care about the kids, they just have this bee up their bottoms about "family values".
I know better than to try to get teens not to have sex, it's like trying to stop a herd of stampeding elephants with a little yellow flag and a whistle. Teens are DESIGNED to have sex, their bodies are SUPPOSED to have sex. It's our job to give them the information they need to do it responsibly. Making them wait until their hormones die down is literally cruel torture.
I had sex early, and I do NOT regret it. It was a wonderful, romantic time in my life that I will treasure forever. I hope every teen has the chance to have that kind of experience.
The important thing is to find a partner who actually cares about you and wants to make you happy, and isn't just going to tell you what they think you want to hear so they can get into your pants. Have sex when you aren't doing it for revenge or to prove something, have sex when you aren't doing it just to say you did it, have sex when you know how and how important it is in life, but don't have it if somebody will be hurt.
