Most parents find it difficult to navigate through their teen’s sexual exploration years. Here’s the conversation I want every father to have with his son. Even if you’ve raised your boy to wait until marriage to have sex, very few of them will throw a willing girl out of bed. So, dad should sit with his boy, explain that most girls these days are pretty open to sex and say, “If at some point you decide you’re going to have intercourse despite the values we are raising you with, then I want to make certain things clear to you. If you get a girl pregnant, that baby is our grandchild. We’re going to take that very personally. Which means you're out of school and getting a job to support her and the kid.”
