We have always had a really open relationship about sex and her boyfriends. Shes been dating her current for abut a year and half, he is a a junior. Last week she went on a group date to our county fair. A couple days later she ask if she could be placed on the pill. I told her sure. I ask her why and if she was ready. She told told me at the fair she and her boyfriend "hooked up" (oral sex). She said after that it was kinda awkward and both of them felt weird about it. She said she doesn't think either of them are really ready to go there yet but that when they are together it's just kinda hard to stop (hence the want for pills).
I told her that they both are probably not ready for sex but more sexually frustrated than anything else. I told her thats completely normal and that sex before both of them are really ready isnt the answer. She knows sex is a very emotional act, especially your first, and can't be taken back. I also told her there are things they an do as a couple and be herself to releave some of the tension. I talkedher about heavy petting and mutual masturbation and sex toys (for her own personal use). We talked about setting limits and protecttion a little more indepthly than before.
e looked up sex toys on amazon and I helped her pick something out small and talked to her about proper care for it when it get's here. We also discussed putting her on depo. We went and bought condoms for her room and purse, dental dams, spermacide from amazon.
I'm proud of her for being open with me. I would rather know and help than not know and pop up with a grand child or her being regretful for doing something she was not prepared for. I hope that when she really is ready she will come to me again.
How would you have handled it?
This is exactly my philosophy.
I also think that girls are much less willing to be used for sex if they understand how to climax. (When the time comes for sex.) Many girls are content to just get boned because they don't know how much better it can be.. But if you do know, then you're less likely to settle for anything less than making sure you get your pleasure, as well.
No, it's not going to stop sex, but hopefully it will help with self-esteem and partner selection.

Good for you. I honestly think you did the right thing. I hope my relationship with my dd is that open and honest when she gets older.
I rather know what's going on in my kids lives and have my dds (who are 8, 6 and 2 1/2 months) know that what they feel is normal and healthy. I don't think feeling shame helps any young women make good choices. Shame is how teenage girls end up throwing babies in dumpsters and I would feel like a failure if my dds thought they had to do something like that.
She seemes mature enough for a relationship. We both think she is. Hes a great kid and his parents have similar values as we do. Gotta let them branch out some time.

Mirena is *not* a good idea for someone who has not given vaginal birth before.

Look into mirena :) its what Im looking into. I started depo at her age and did great for two years and stopped taking it. That's when they changed the formula, i went back on it and i went down to ( after second ds ds) 170 pp & after one shot of depo Im up to 190 with no change in diet and breastfeeding...not to mention the constantly getting sick etc. :(
Quoting Anonymous:What do you suggest?
She is kinda forgetful and i'm worried she wont remember pills :/
Quoting ninjakids:
Depo will make her miserable! Trust me.

im sorry but she will be an adult 90% of her life why are you trying to hurry her to start taking on adult responsibilities? Dating is not a game, its not a hobby, its not a sport, or activity. Its a responsibility. She is only 15 years old, should be focusing on SCHOOL and other things.

I'm not the cat lady type. I'm more like an actual cat. I want affection when I want it and on my own terms. The rest of the time I want to claw out your eyes and piss in your shoes.
