While both are large steps in "growing up" death does not hold all the stigma that sex can in some circles. I would rather have the introduction to sex be a bit more controlled and planned.

As an aside, if I ever have kids, I hope they emulate your daughter in the sense that they want reasons behind the things they're told instead of just accepting things.
Thanks she has an amazing mind, one that thirsts for knowledge and information. As a parent it is both a blessing and a curse.

Again. It's your kid. In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that you find yourself in this situation, you have a parenting decision to make. Godspeed.
