I know my parents are slightly conservative on the sex before marriage concept - they have made all of their daughters very well aware that what we do in our own homes is our business - but there will be no pre-marital sex in their house. Now granted, they are probably even more relaxed about it now that we are all grown. At the time that I remember hearing the speech I was still in high school. My father has recently told me that he was most concerned about the elder sisters doing things and exposing the younger ones to sexual activity that perhaps we shouldn't have been seeing.

I can respect that opinion. My parents and I do not see eye-to-eye on all issues, but when I am in their domain I respect them. And I ask them to do the same when they are in mine.
