i am seventeen and my mom always says, "marriage should come before sex and if sex does come before marriage, love always should come before sex." she has always told me it is best to wait until i am older and more mature and i agree with her. i will wait until i am married to have sex but it gets to a point where it is out of the parents hands.
you can't do anything about it if your daughter is in her twenties and sleeps with her boyfriend. personally, i am okay with it. i have always pictured myself waiting until i got married but it depends.
parents should encourage their childern to wait but when they get to be eighteen, ninenteen and twenty, well then just tell them sex is fine if you truly love the person.

I wouldn't engineer that, but if she's determined, there's probably nothing you can do to prevent it. I assume we are talking (in fact, or hypothetically) about daughter who is in high school, at least? If younger than that, then absolutely, no.
I would, and do, caution the young women in our family to wait. I make it a point to find a time to talk to them in middle school and let them know that NOT everyone's "doing it," and despite the media saturation of messages to the contrary, it's in their best interest physically and emotionally to wait. No specific age, but high school is too young to play with this loaded gun. Such an emotionaly vulnerable age; it doesn't need to be complicated by experimenting with more intimacy than that age can handle well, and if there is no emotional intimacy, then what's the point? One can pleasure oneself without exposing oneself to lots of diseases that women contract MUCH more easily than the males, due to the delicate tissue in their private parts. Not to mention an unintended pregnancy, which is a life-altering situation, whether one aborts, carries to term and keeps, or gives up the child. These are not things that young women should be dealing with. They should be experiencing a much fuller range of life and the world than what's between their legs. The teenaged and 20 something guys generally don't stay around anyway, so why would anyone "permit" their daughter to risk compromising her health and growth and development to be available for sex with them? To me it's not about morality: It's about self respect and self preservation. So many girls don't get that message. I think we do them a disservice this way.
I find a lot of women as they get into their 30s and beyond realize that they really didn't get as much out of having sex at an early age at they put into it, and that in retrospect realize it would have been a good idea to have waited a few years longer. A lot of women have some regreats about early sexual activity. I can tell you that I have never met someone who regreted waiting. I'm not even saying wait till marriage--I'm just saying wait for emancipation and maturity.
If a daughter is young enough that the mother would have to permit the daughter to have sex, then the daughter is too young.

sex outdoors of marriage is seen contained in the Bible as fornication. sex after marriage with yet another better half, except your spouse is seen contained in the Bible as adultery. If it would want to nicely be assumed that your daughter sexual better half plans to marry her, i can not see a issue. Who would not take a sparkling motor vehicle out for a spin before they sealing the deal. i does not get to hung up on Biblical suggestion both. If everybody ended up both positioned to death or stoned for adultry and fornication there does not be too a lot of people round. For those Christian that could want to disagree with that position. i will remind them that Jesus taught you probably did not fairly might want to bypass by way of with the actual act. i believe he reported, "If all and sundry a lot as seems at yet another with lust of their eye, they have already commited the deed of their heart." once you put off that criteria as a bases for comparing issues, i'd project to say, that there are merely some, if any which have the right to forged the first stone. i'd advise that you enable your daughter to settle on her personal position in this count number, and settle for that determination. often love and help her in spite of how you would sense about it. you have not been waiting to stay away from it and there's no steps you are able to take to undo it. that's what that's.

When my daughter is older I hope she has the sense to wait till she is old enough to start having sex but if she does have sex before marriage, there isnt alot i can do to stop her. I do hope though she waits to have sex till she finds the right man but not really bothered about sex before marriage. me and my partner arent married and have 2 children. its just a ring and piece of paper at the end of the day.

I would educate my child on all aspects. What many fail to realize is that pre-marital sex can cause two people that may not ever work out to build an attachment, physical, to one another, that could eventually become an emotional dependency, which in my thoughts is never healthy. I have several friends that had sex at a young age, and later on when they met that TRUE someone special they wish that they could have shared that with just one another. Educate her, and show her all the things that could happen with that. It brings so much more stress into relationships, especially for young people, that could easily be avoided.

There really isnt much you can do about it..the best you can do is educate your daughter, she will make her own decisions.
It's not like she is going to come and ask for your permission beforehand how many parents know for sure if their teens are having sex. The most you can do is hope they are being smart and protecting themselves from disease, pregnancy etc and hope they make good decisions.

This is a silly question, taking into account that there are many people who don't marry until they are in their late twenties or thirties, and most people who go to college don't marry at least until they finish college. I'm 33 and I have many friends my age who aren't married and who are perfectly happy.
It's one thing to keep teens under control, but running after a very adult 30-year-old woman to make sure she doesn't have sex is hilarious.
If I had a teen, I would educate them about the consequences of sex, but once they are adults, it's completely their call.
And I sure would not want them to get married before they finish college.

I am religious and believe you should be married before you have sex. However, if any of my daughters came to me and said she felt that she loved someone enough to trust them with her virginity then I would provide her with birth control so she at least wouldn't get pregnant before she was ready.

No way! I would want her to wait until marriage. I think it is more rewarding to wait. Think about the honeymoon. If you have already had sex, what would be so special about your honeymoon night? I think having your virginity is something special, and I don't think it should be given to just anybody. I hope my daughter will listen to me because I only want the best for her. However, if she doesn't listen, she will have to deal with the consequences of her actions.
