and not have access to a plentiful supply of condoms when they have sex
On this point, teach your kids if you really need condoms go into the nearest Queer venue, they will have them in the bogs or otherwise sort you out!
Find the nearest nunnery and get her married to Jesus ASAP!
In my experience it was the girls at the local convent who needed less woo'ing and were much more forthright with their advances than I was with mine.... One of them was even called Louise and she lived up to her namesake.
Their refractory time is also much lower and so they’re more likely to have multiple episodes of penetrative intercourse in one encounter.
The little ********** ****s!
I have never heard this saying. So what is the average refractory time per age (asking for a friend). Is 168hrs average for a 49 year old friend? 😉
I must be right at the end of that bell curve then...
In my experience it was the girls at the local convent who needed less woo’ing and were much more forthright with their advances than I was with mine….
I dated 3 (?) convent girls during my teens and twenties, forthright with advances is a massive understatement, one i picked up at her flat for a first date and was invited up while she finished getting ready, we got to watch a later showing of the film than planned.
Another one, our second date lasted 72 hours and her flat mate ended up staying at a local hotel.
And now you know why….
Brings a whole new angle to Pavlovs dogs doesn't it. At least there's a sort of bell involved.
(frankly, I don’t know why dogs are as obsessed with humping as they are. If I could lick my own bits I’d never leave the house again. I think we’re going off topic a bit)
My dog* was licking his bollocks. A mate** said “man, I wish I could do that.” I replied “give him a biscuit and he’ll probably let you.”
That joke was my first thought having read the post above. I still think it’s funny.
I dated 3 (?) convent girls during my teens and twenties,
Me and two mates I’d been at school with, (I was a year older), started going out with three girls who were in the same class at the convent school in Bath - not exactly backwards in coming forwards, shall we say…
One of those couples are married and still together and now retired, bless ‘em! They, and the other bloke in our little group will be at my birthday dinner in just over a week, so those very early relationships can last lifetimes, if they start as actual friends - my first girlfriend lives just over the road, she started going out with one of my best friends after we broke up, and I see them fairly often, we’re all good friends, and I’m still good friends with another of my early girlfriends - I went to her first wedding!
Those early relationships can become very important parts of youngsters future lives, and I think should be encouraged. I can’t imagine not staying friends with someone who was such an important part of my life, and who I loved very deeply.
If they are both in the same swimming club do you know the lads parents? Possibility of a joined up / consistent approach on this, if they are of the same mindset as you. Getting a young lady preggers at a young age probably isn’t their idea of a great start for their kid either.
Obviously this conversation would have added cringe if you could have it in front of both of them🤣
We used to teach make good, considered choices to both our children. Our daughter had a fraught teenage time, made some poor choices and also some good ones. No one died or got pregnant which we count as a win.
My son never wants to speak of the pre-Magaluf talk ever again! 😀
Just make it clear, no satanic tattoos.

Not being on twitter I can only imagine the responses to that tweet, but I'm guessing that's a troll at work 🤔

That YT clip was just hilarious!
Damned good movie too👍😁
My opinion is... You can't stop them. If they are going to do "stuff", they will probably find a place/time to do it regardless. Isn't it better to explore these things in the comfort of your own bed and a familiar space with some privacy, rather than feeling even more pressured rushing things in an unfamiliar environment? It's quite a big part of growing up (and it's natural), isn't it better to just ensure she/they are educated to make good decisions rather than trying to just say "no you're not allowed to do that"?
Sounds like you’ve tried to know that you can’t
TBH I thought everyone tried this at least once 🙂
(Ah Cougar beat me to it- as it was.)

I do and don't agree with that. I agree that, as parents, we should ensure our children have an opportunity to explore their sexuality in a safe and loving environment. However, I would expect a very large degree of consideration from them as to who else is in the house with them at the time - we would never (knowingly) make love in earshot of our children and I certainly would not want to hear them doing likewise. Time and a place for this stuff.
Making love? If you're going to that trouble surely you can drown any noises out by turning the volume up on your Barry White and Marvin Gaye playlist 😉
🤣 Just trying to avoid 'lad' language and sound like a grown-up.
Who is 'grown up' ? Can't be having that !

That's a libellous accusation, I've never even met you.
This thread has suddenly reminded me of this bit of genius

And if you do happen to hear them at it of a Sunday morning for the love of god don't turn up the volume to "Clare" by Fairground Attraction.
And over the rooftops when the stars prickle the skies
London is sleeping and the Mississippi moon shines
I hear them making love
I hear them making love

As I suggested above, maybe you should 😂
I'm not a parent and never will be, but my parents were incredibly controlling about relationship type stuff when I was younger, from when I was 13 all the way until I left home
So, I just did what I wanted elsewhere, lied to them, and I've had a shitty relationship with them to this day (I'm nearly 40)
Who is ‘grown up’ ?
Not me, just trying to sound like I am. Heaven forbid I ever do actually grow up. 🙂
Time and a place for this stuff.
Well, quite.
I wonder whether what you're suggesting here is really just teaching appropriate behaviour. Like, there is surely no doubts in any but the most naive of parents' minds that their teenage mutant ninja hellspawn use the F-bomb and worse language with gay abandon. So the lesson isn't "don't do it" because they will regardless and possibly even because they've been told not to, but rather should be "don't do it in front of granny."
My aforementioned first girlfriend went to a Catholic school with actual nuns wandering about. The entirety of their provided sex education - lest we forget, during the 1980s at the height of AIDS fears - was "don't do it, but if you do do it then don't use a condom because that offends god." And I don't really need to continue this anecdote, do I.
Outright prohibition doesn't work. Just ask North America. Rather, instilling into folk that it's poor form to rock up pissed at a funeral at 10am might be more prudent.
Maybe. I am not a parent.

No, you are spot on – I never swore in front of my parents (apart from one time long after I had left home and went to theirs to watch a football match, got over-excited and forgot where I was). Likewise I never heard my parents swear (again, apart from a single time when I was doing some work for my dad and his work colleagues and I heard him swear – he immediately apologised to me). It's about respect and that respect has to be mutual for it to work. I just hope I do as good a job as my parents (generally) did with me.
Making love
You are Swiss Tony and I claim my free set of floor mats.
As for being in earshot, that's why ballgags were invented.

Where? You mean Shagaluf, right? 🤔
"Respect" is the word I was reaching for and couldn't quite grasp, yes. Thank you.
