1. the fact that the sexual urge is extremely powerful and that it is closely linked to the deepest emotions, an automatic intensification of a relationship (jealousy, confusion about love, etc. etc.) - that it is powerful juju and should not be taken lightly, and that it often accompanies, but is definitely not identical to love.

When my D reached puberty this is precisely what I told her. The disease and pregnancy material is out there in spades, the emotional weight topic less so. What I also told my D is that she risked getting her feelings really hurt.

My S is only 14, and short (albeit very handsome to my eyes), so we aren’t in this world yet. Do boys get their feelings hurt in teen dating? What other things than pregnancy and disease should I warn my S of - assuming of course he grows…:)
