Some people are mature at 15 (I knew a young woman like that) and others aren't ready to fly until much later. Yet we say "start school on this date or you'll be forever an outcast. At 16 you can die driving a car, at 18 you can die for your country, but it takes until 21 to handle alcohol. And you really only get marginal training for the first and second ones and none at all for the third.<BR/><BR/>And for sex, somehow, you should on your 18th birthday know how to behave responsibly in the sack. I was married at 19 and I sure as hell could have used some training all the way around. My honeymoon would have been a lot more entertaining if I'd had more of a clue as to how best to get Tab A into Slot B ("best" including better awareness of Slot B's needs, among other things).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811244652382658639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-12503417326677767442007-11-12T13:41:00.000-05:002007-11-12T13:41:00.000-05:00Lots not forget.

That's ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Those who persue a college education might not find marriage suitable until they are perhaps 27 years old and finished with schooling. It's just plain unrealistic to suggest that people spend over a decade of their reproductive and social lives abstaining from sex.<BR/><BR/>Without a widespread and successful spaying and neutering program, that is.shrimplatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347542266047278227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085926.post-62068730817865883152007-11-12T09:16:00.000-05:002007-11-12T09:16:00.000-05:00Contrary to the current cultural opinion, teenage ...Contrary to the current cultural opinion, teenage sex is nothing new. What is new is that the definition of adulthood and readiness for sex/marriage has been pushed steadily upward. Once people start realizing that teenagers have sex drives because of some biological factors that cannot be ignored, then we can have an honest discussion about teenage sex.Smitty Werbenmanjensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568002108177751363noreply@blogger.com
