The joy of teenage sex on CH4 on Wednesday night....

[trt]

I was quite surprised that some teenagers wanted advice about anal sex with their G/Fs.

In my days it would have never been discussed or practiced, or am I behind the times.

Do women enjoy it or, put up with their B/Fs desires?

[Invictas]

ummmm
Sorry,but the younger siblings of teenagers that I come across certainly may not be that confident,but the guys know where their heat seeking missile goes,and the girls want to be the target!

Channel 4 have a history of producing 'brave' seual issue programmes. Personally I believe that every schoolkid should see their 5 piece Sex Education series; also that one about Sex vs Porn (still haunted by that interview with several teen boys who didn't realise that ejaculation can occur in the vagina, simply because they'd never seen it in porn, this being their main source of sex education!).
However I think that this particular programme sends out the wrong signals, dealing more with the mechanics of 'how to' than the reason you would/should make love. I think kids are pressured enough to have sex, and all the various types of sex (you mention anal) without tv educational programmes showing it all as standard practice between casual relationships in the teen years.

[ummmm]

That's the ones you know.

My daughter didn't lose her virginity until she was 17....I can honestly say that anal or oral sex wouldn't have even been thought about, let alone acted upon.

You're speaking like all teenagers have sex and suddenly want to try everything straight away. I suspect most women here can vouch for the fact that doesn't happen. It takes quite a while for most people to feel comfortable...

But sure, you should know that...you're a woman after all...!!

I'm still wondering why teenagers discuss their sex lives with you, Invictas!

[bednobs]

personally, i don't know any teenagers, and can only speak from my experience of being a teenager (20 years ago) Anal and oral sex were talked about and done

[bednobs]

well apparently ummm also knows "plenty" of teenagers who tell her about their sex life so i don't see why invictas shouldn't

[Invictas]

They don' sara,but their 20 something sisters gossip in earshot about.themselves and their siblings.
If people think teenagers of both sexes are so naive(and not having sex or desiring it),why does the UK have the highest rate of very young pregnancies in Europe?

I rest my case.

[sara3]

but ummmm is younger and has younger kids.

I often have a house full of teenagers.. they still don't talk about their sex lives to me, but my daughter passes on their gossip!

[tamborine]

wot do you poke up him ?

[cazzz1975]

when I was a teen it was always a small minority of these girls who used to have sex and get pregnant, my daughter is a teen and in her group its still pretty much a minority of girls, normally from unstable backrounds who are having sex early, drinking a lot and getting pregnant.

it doesnt mean all teenagers are like this, I certainly have not seen evidence that this is affecting the majority of teens.

[ummmm]

Same Sara...My daughter has always told me what she's up to. She also tells me what her friends are up to. Some are up to quite a bit but the majority aren't.

[cazzz1975]

snap ummm and sara, sometimes its worse than an episode of eastenders!

[ummmm]

They seem to be more interested in arguing over FaceBook than getting up to rudies...

[boxtops]

One of the pieces of data which skews all the teenage pregnancy figures is the fact that all TPs are recorded, irrespective of circumstances. My niece was married (by choice and unpregnant) straight from school and had two children at age 18 and 19 - those are listed in the TP statistics. Those children were not only planned but wanted - not all TPs are either unplanned or planned out of boredom.

[cazzz1975]

lol ummm I stay out of them and the messenger arguments, they give me a headache

[ummmm]

So do I...usually :-/

Got a bit peed off yesterday when my sons ex GF put up a status taking the p!ss out of him....Her fecking Mother was posting on it...!!!I had to say something about that...

(I really wanted to put...I know where you live you know..haha)

[Sqad]

Invictas.....I agree

The UK has the highest teenage birth rates in Western Europe - twice as high as in Germany, three times as high as in France and six times as high as in the Netherlands.

These are not all from poor or broken homes.....many are from middle class "bog standard" families.

[tamborine]

can you get preggies from anal sex sqad - am learning so much on AB.....lol

[Mamyalynne]

Tambo if no condom is used and ejaculation takes place then it is possible though unlikely.

It's good to learn isn't it.

[anneasquith]

i believe i am very open minded. but....i do believe some subjects are just too private to the individuals involved to be discussing it openly.
