As a parent with children of both gender, I agree with momof7thgrader. Many of the comments on this thread are based on old gender stereotypes that belittle both sexes. With a dozen nieces and nephews and dozens of my children’s friends, I haven’t seen much difference in sexual drive between male or female teenagers, nor any difference in wanting to be in committed relationships or not based on gender. If anything, I have found the girls more fickle about relationships at this age.

GMTplus7, with my daughter I do worry about unwanted pregnancy. However, if that did happen, she at least would have the choice of either continuing the pregnancy or not. Should my son get a girl pregnant, however, he would not have the choice on whether to become a father or not. In many ways, the female has more control over the situation.
