I understand what you're saying, but keep this in mind: age = maturity is a myth. Being an adult does not ensure a level of maturity; remember snackdud? In my case, I am a high school teacher. It is imperative that I be able to communicate with students in their teen years, and it is during those years when questions concerning sex and sexuality are foremost in their minds. They have not reached maturity yet, true; but it is my job as a teacher to make that transition to maturity as least painful as possible. I will not discuss sexual issues with students at school under any circumstances; that is the guidance counselors' job, not mine, and I won't intrude on their turf. However, when a teen comes onto this site with questions about what he's packing and it's pretty apparent that he can't talk to his parents, guidance counselor, or priest/minister/rabbi/imam, I have no problem posting replies to him in non-provocative terms. I'm not going to reply to a teen's post in graphic sexual verbiage, but I have no qualms about answering serious questions from concerned teens. Okay, Pete was a different case because I see him face-to-face every day; to him I'm not just a name on the internet. Talking with young dudes in Live Chat is a different matter; that is a social rather than educational setting. I'm not very comfortable with that.
