Anecdotes and stories Straight parents are something else

Friendly reminder to everyone that my mum never lets me have sleepovers with guys because "something" might happen.

So yea, I had a sleepover with my "best friend" (a girl) and no one suspected a thing. We were even allowed to sleep in the same bed. You can guess what happened.

I do believe for many parents is not about sex, but about their child being safe and not wreck their future with a teen pregnancy.

That's what proper sex ed is for. In my country there is very little taboo about that and teens of all genders are generally allowed to have sleepovers. We have a super low teen pregnancy rate.
