Help, my teen has (already) a sex life!
The first sexual intercourse in France is done earlier. They are estimated at 17.6 years for girls and 17.2 years for boys. But often, children have already had flirtations before moving on to this crucial step.
The sexuality of the teens remains a taboo subject within the household because it concerns the most intimate, even if some parents approach it very easily with their children. The feeling of parents vis-à-vis the sexuality of their child varies from one family to another, according to societal and religious reasons. Some agree, for example, that their teenagers bring their boyfriends and girlfriends home, or have romantic relationships under their roof. For others, it is out of the question that these relationships take place within their homes.
Some experts believe that it is preferable that this sexuality takes place out of the family nest. In their view, the reverse would be a way for parents to keep their hands on their children.
Anyway, we can not prevent her teenager to have a sex life, the most important thing is to make him aware of the risks and precautions he must take for himself and his partner. Evoke with your child the fact that he must protect himself against HIV, but also against other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). They are numerous and little known, especially teens. Also think about talking about contraception with your teen, to avoid a possible unwanted pregnancy.
