I especially dislike when people are less worried about their sons' sexual behaviour and then are over protective of their daughters. Even my own DH has said he'd be more upset to find out his daughter is not a virgin than is son. I just don't get that. </p> <p>At the same time, I have a more conservative view of sex. I think the fewer partners, the better. The more careful you are about who you share that with, the better. I would like to strike some sort of balance and I think educating our daughters on sex is important rather than just saying she shouldn't have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1325595 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:11:38 +0000 Torchwood 1325595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: Totally agree. The guilt I was raised with caused me far more issues than not waiting till marriage ever would have. </p> <p>Love this! I need to show it to DH. We're from the South, and that "have a gun out when your daughter brings a guy home" mentality is just what everyone expects. Honestly, it's not something I'd even given a lot of thought to. But this would be a great starting point for discussing it with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1325398 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:34:00 +0000 HLK208 1325398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: that line made me cringe a little...just because for me, personally, going out and having sex with people just because I felt like it, wasn't a good idea. I hope my kids use more common sense. The rest of the article I agree with though. </p> <p>@Greentea: I was too. I hated it...I want to be open as a parent about this subject. I also want my children to wait for someone they love and like the article said, share an emotional connection and mutual respect </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324696 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:28:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 1324696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A refreshing viewpoint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324685 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:24:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1324685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: me too in a way. My parents were really open about talking about sex, but when I started experimenting they couldn't handle it. I remember bleeding after my second time and copped yo a lesser act when I asked my mom to take me to the doctor. She said the most vile things to me on our drive there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324577 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:02:59 +0000 Greentea 1324577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find this healthy and empowering. Sex should be something for both sexes! I was raised with guilt shame belittlement and punishment and control in regard to this topic and that is what will really "f" you up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324521 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:48:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1324521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the more liberal look on life and this is how my parents were wtih me. My mom always told me "If you want to wait until marriage that is fine, however I'm not expecting you too. If you find a man you love, sex is part of a romantic relationship, come to me and we can discuss anything." </p> <p>I think every girl (soon to be woman) will make her own desicions regardless of what her parents teach her, I just want my daughter to know that sex is important but also something that so much better with an emotional connection &amp; serious feelings behind it. I also want to make sure she's smart about it and doesn't feel like she has to hid it from me. I will for sure be the mom taking her to get BC if she becomes initimate &amp; I will not make her feel bad about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324501 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:42:52 +0000 loveisstrange 1324501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Except he talks about in the same article that sex is best shared with someone you share an emotional connection and mutual respect with. I don't think the article is saying to go out and sleep around at all. He's telling her not to be ashamed of her sexuality, and to enjoy herself and her body.</p> <p>I love this and It's something I already knew I would teach my daughter. I want C to be a strong woman and confident in herself. I want her to find enjoyment and be responsible. I hope she has great sex someday, with someone she loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324493 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:39:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 1324493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read this a while ago and loved it. I hope my daughter has a healthy relationship with her body and with sex. Sex is a hugely important part of life, it shouldn't be shameful or unpleasant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324483 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:35:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1324483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have mixed feelings - I guess it depends what age DD he has??</p> <p>I would never tell my 16 yr Old DD " It doesn’t lessen you to give someone else pleasure. It doesn’t degrade you to have some of your own."</p> <p> I don't want my daughter to have sex with every man she knows and not feel bad about it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324444 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:23:30 +0000 Bookish 1324444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great article! DH gets so aggravated at me because I'll talk about hoping that G has a happy, healthy sex life, but I know he agrees with me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324440 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:22:39 +0000 immabeetoo 1324440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read this a while ago and loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324412 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:05:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1324412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this topic. Really its been on my mind since a thread against circumcision. Keeping foreskin helps your son have a more pleasurable sexual experience. I want my kids to pick good partners and have great sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324401 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:00:31 +0000 mrswin 1324401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I appreciate a more liberal perspective on topics like this. I think if parents provide the right guidance and an open dialogue then this view point allows women to feel confident in their decisions and not just about sex </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-daughter-i-hope-you-have-awesome-sex#post-1324177 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:35:11 +0000 Arden 1324177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really enjoyed this article.
