I raised my children as you have described raising your children. I am not naive as to what went on then or what goes on now. BUT, if you are teaching your children to treat the opposite sex with respect, and it works both ways, then why at 22 are we having an issue of him wanting to have sex with someone considerably younger than him, someone who might be a minor and not of the age of consent.

You try to lay the groundwork during the difficult teenage years and then hopefully they have the decision process to make responsible decisions at the age of 22.
I misunderstood you ... sorry. I thought you were talking about 16 year old boys. I agree completely that a 22 year old boy wanting to have sex with a minor is a different situation altogether. Sounds like we're on the same wavelength.
