Do your parents know you're sexually active? -
March 28th 2010, 11:19 PM
I was just wondering if anyone's parents know they are sexually active or you've ever been caught out.
I think my mum suspects something but doesn't know entirely or not if me and my boyfriend are having sex.
I think my dad is completely clueless.
My boyfriend said his mum wouldn't be particularly suprised or bothered if she was to know we were.
So come on guys opinions

I've never told my parents but i'm assuming my mum knows and she's cool with it. I'm 17 and [obviously] legal so theres not much she can do about it. My dad doesn't care either.
..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..
Religion is like a penis.
It's fine to have one.
It's fine to be proud of it.
But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.
And PLEASE don't try and shove it down my throat.

Considering my mother is the one who helped me pay for my birth control, yes, they know. My mother doesnt really much care as long as I stay safe about it. My father is perturbed by it, I think, but realizes Im almost twenty now and old enough to make my own decisions.

My mom knows and she doesn't care as long as I'm safe about it. I've never told my dad, or talked about it around him, but I assume he probably has some idea.

Yes, my mom knows. I hate this fact, but more than just my mom knows...gah...haha, anyways, I am 15, lost my virginity at 14, and my mom knew right off the bat. She practically encouraged me...which is deffinately not a good thing. So I had to learn some things on my own because of that. When she first found out about it, she went out and bought me condoms, and pregnancy tests, and put me on Birth Control. Since then I had to learn these lessons on my own, I've went through a few heart-breaks. So now, I'm working on abstinence, until my bf and I are ready once more.

Yes, because a year ago I had to go to my mum to give her my prescription for the birth control pill.... (I couldnt afford to get it myself every month.) I'd been with my boyfriend five months by then, but she still slightly freaked out. I think she just ahdn't wanted to admit it to herself til then!!

I told my mum lol... and being 34 weeks pregnant I very much hope everyone else has guessed, otherwise I am worried about the intelligence of my family LOL

Lol no. Even though I'm 19 I don't think my mom could handle the thought of me having sex. I'm the youngest, and my older sister(21) still isn't sexually active. I think I'll have my mom the heart attack.

My boyfriends Mum found our condoms in his room so they definitely know.
My boyfriends Mum then phoned my Mum and told her. I don't think my Dad knows, he probably suspects it but doesn't want to know.
I have been with my boyfriend for nearly 3 years so I guess they all at least suspected it for a while.

I told my mom when I became sexually active, since I had moved in with the guy (my now hubby) she figured... she was all over it offering advice and what not... my mom and I have a really open relationship though.

Haha this is a fun thread. :P My parents have known since I was about 17 or so (Started having sex soon before my 17th birthday), when my Dad found condoms in my room, lol. They were a little freaked out, but then got over it. =)

I think they know, but they pretend not to ... "still their little girl" or something.
My ex boyfriends mum walked in on us, with his older brother one of the first times we slept together, so his family definately knew ... :/

No haha, my sister got pregnant at 15, so they're always like really funny about sex, so i assume they thought if they didn't talk to me about sex, i'd never do it LOL

I'm pretty sure my parents have no idea. I go to boarding school, so they don't see me around guys at all. They probably think I have never kissed a guy. xD
Everything sucks. Might as well find something to smile about.

Well my family doesnt even know about my bf. I met him online and we've been together over 2 years now but im still nervous about what to tell them. he lives in ny 9 hours away and we do see each other every few months now that Im away at college. his dad knows we have sex and his mom probably does. she lets us sleep in his room when i visit them and he sleeps in my room when he visits me. I handled the birth control situation myself. There's a health clinic on campus that gives out bc like candy lol. I dont think my mom could handle me having sex. especially since she doesnt know about my bf. his parents are alot more understanding.

My mother does. I trust her and tell her completely everything, even if she doesn't like what she may hear. She was young once and she understands. She can't lecture me to wait until marriage either because she certainly didn't, and my dad definitely didn't either but he's a huge bible humper and very protective so I would never tell him I'm not a virgin anymore. I won't ever tell him. He'd just flip out and wouldn't understand.
I only slept with 2 guys, both I had strong feelings for at the time, I waited until I was about 21 years old to start having sex and waited until I was completely ready, so it's not like it's a big deal.

My parents have no idea that I'm sexually active and probably wouldn't guess. I've been with one guy. We are not in a relationship and have never been, therefore, they definitely wouldn't think two friends are having sex.

I'm a virgin but my parents think I am sexually active ¬____¬ My mum always asks if I want to go on the pill, I'm tempted to just go on it to shut her up. In a way it's good my mum would want me to be safe and wouldn't go insane if I had sex but if anything I'm slightly pressured by her to have sex ¬_____¬
Edit: Actually it kind of depends what you consider "sexually active" is. Me and my ex done things apart from intercourse, my parents didn't know.

Haha I love this response! LMAO. Seriously this response made my day. Just thinking about it is funny. I sure hope they are not that naive!
Anyway, my parents know that I am not sexually active so it is safe to say that when I become sexually active they will know. I feel like the fact that I can talk to my parents about it makes it easier to go to them if I were to have a problem. From the time I was in junior high my parents drilled into me that if I were going to have sex they wanted me to come to them so that they could get me on birth control and get the proper protection.
I know that my dad will be a little upset about it. I mean I am his 'little girl' and all but he will be okay with knowing that I feel comfortable enough to go to him about it.

Absolutely not. My mom would kill me lol, even though I'm 20. I lost my virginity to my boyfriend and that was like a month ago...But my parents totally think I'm the "wait till marriage" type.
