Just a thought
I'm not a parent so I don't have much room for comment but I saw an ad a few months ago that I think applies. The slogan was Being Sexy Doesn't Mean You Have To Have Sex.
I think this is the way I will approach dating w/my kids. Look at Jessica Simpson- very sexy but she remained a virgin til her wedding nt (I don't care if it is true- I applaud her for her public values and providing a good role model) Even good ole Brittney waited til she was older to advance her physical relationships (Even Justin stands by this) I think it's the actions more than the appearance that should be regulated.
Likewise I want to raise all my boys to treat EVERY female like the queen they are. Love and respect every girl and woman. I hate that so much attention is pointed at young female sexuality while males are virtually ignored. The "protect yourself" mentality that is the basis of most young male relationship guidelines is not helping any youth relationship unless you truly limit your expectations to lack of pregnancy or STD's.
