Should parents know about their child's sex life?

Question

Just curious but do you think a parent has the right to know if their child is having sex? Cause my mom found out me and my bf are and we're 17 almost 18 and using protection. Obviously it's none of that child's business if their parent is having sex but what about the other way around??

Answer

I think parents and kids should have that open relationship. My sister has two teenage boys right now that just hit puberty and she told them don't play too long with y'alls pencils😂😂😂

Answer

I'm not close to my mom so i don't feel comfortable telling her anything about my sex life. I have a friend who is very close with her mother and her mother helped her find a good birth control method. 
It's always up to you but I feel that goes hand in hand with the relationship you have with your parents. Just educate yourself about sex and sexual health. Know your risks and options for everything. Be responsible regardless if you tell your parents or not.

Answer

it depends how your relationship with your parents are. it’s your decision and its up to you because it is a private thing that might be awkward to talk about and you may be treated differently afterwards. tell them only if you’re comfortable

Answer

I have a very open relationship with my mom, and we discuss everything - nothing is off limits. I’m 18, and in HS, and if I were having sex, I would tell her. She would help me ensure that I’m protected and safe.

Answer

Generally I think parents should be just as open with things as they expect their kids. But it is a little different for parents to know what the kids are doing as they are providing for you and have set rules usually while you’re living in their home. Most parents don’t want their kids having sex that young, it’s good you’re using protection, but I think that’s where that viewpoint comes from. Plus most kids don’t want to know about their parents sex lives
