Our DS has just turned 16 and has just found "love" with a girl who he was friends with. In the past, he has been allowed to have the girl up in his bedroom to watch DVD's or use the computer so whilst we were slightly uneasy about it, we just interrupted their viewing on a regular basis and made them leave the bedroom door open. However, now they are more than friends we are more concerned as the young lady has not long turned 15. We have obviously had many conversations over the years about girlfriends, sex, etc., not least because my step-son got his girlfriend pregnant before she was 16 and he was 18. His mother had moved the girl in and had believed my DSS when he said there was no sex going on even though they shared the same bed!
My DH and I are aware that no matter how sensible you boys are, they are also subject to a very strong sex drive at that age and we aren't sure how to handle this. Our other grown up kids used to take their "friends" to the study which was next to the lounge or they shared a room with a sibling which was a bit inhibiting but the setup is very different with our youngest.
