Of course he enjoyed it but it was not safe. It wasn't deadly, it just wasn't safe. This is a support group.

You would mention condoms for intercourse, but otherwise tell your child that oral is okay with anyone? Good luck with that!

I agree.

You would be a hypocrite. Far too many people are "do as I say, not as I do" types.

I'm not a hypocrite. I believe in condoms for oral or vaginal sex until mutual blood tests, then monogamy, followed by chucking the condoms. You can't tell just by looking at someone how "clean" they are. And asking a partner their history can sometimes be fruitless.

There are what if's with a million things and can't be bound by fear.

Why does everyone always say the only safe sex is masturbation or celibacy? LOL There is something called monogamy between two people who are clean of STD's and share current blood tests. For some reason I thought the members of this site were up on all the new things, but I'm reading a lot of antiquated responses that come from the 1950's when everything was innocent.

I could chastise the others but they're adults. It's not going to matter much to them, but the callous responses to an 18 year old are unnerving.

If he's had sex ed at school he didn't learn much or they didn't tell him enough. Or maybe he just got caught up in the moment. Whatever the reason, what he did was not all that safe. If she's a virgin like he said he was, then it was safe sex.

I think Rick Sowadsky's response was very reasonable.
