Interesting points.

Personally, I still feel it's "worse" for an adult to have sexual relations with a teenager than two teenagers exploring sex. (I actually met and spoke to a 42-year-old woman who was put on the sex offender list for having sex with a 14-year-old boy. Her attempts to justify what she did rang very hollow. She knew he was 4 years underage and still engaged in sex with him.) However, to paraphrase the late George Orwell, all 14-year-olds are equal but some of them are more equal than others. Some 14-year-olds know exactly what they're doing,and are not forced into having sex with adults: they choose to do so. Some, on the other hand, have been groomed to be victims and aren't aware of what's happening.

When teenagers hit puberty, they're going to want to explore their sexuality (this applies regardless of gender), unless they happen to be asexual. That instinct can't be suppressed: it has to be diverted into safe channels. A good parent knows thatand strives to do this.

That's all my thoughts for now... --- Teejay
