Today’s teenagers are not having sex as early as their parents did

How old were you when you first had sex?

And if you have kids that age, have you taken the time to have THAT conversation with them, to ensure that your kids don’t make the same mistake (or have the same fun) that you had when you were their age?

Chances are, you haven’t.  Web Watch doesn’t know many parents who have had that conversation at all.

But it may end up that today’s parents shouldn’t be that discouraged about their kids bumping uglies in an unresponsible manner, according to a recent report from the CDC.
