This subject is so sensitive and so explosive and has to do with our value system.
All of us reading this could never agree.
I love my grandchildren and being a human know how strong emotions can be and how strong the sex urge is and when I look at a stadium full of people I know how each of them was conceived.
I try very hard to teach the principals that I believe in and also deal with the reality of life and the way normal people behave ...and I talk to them and talk to them and talk to them because they like me and care what I think.
I don't want any subject to be off limits and I started talking to them about sex very early as did their parents. I know that drinking and driving, having sex unprotected and not taking care of money responsibly can really derail your life SUBSTANTIALLY and unalterably in some cases.
So I concentrated on those subjects.
Although right is right and wrong is wrong the world has changed quite a bit since we were children and our grandchildren are living in a changed world.
No matter how much we want to trust in our own decision making and that of our children, hormones are working hard to keep the world populated with humans.
I think this is something that we will never agree on, all of us. We have to do and think and teach what we think is right.
