Speaking as a teenager I think everyone here should understand that if the people on Sexinfo101 aren’t willing to educate me about sex it WILL NOT keep me from being sexually active, nor will it keep anyone from being informed elsewhere…although the information found is not guaranteed to be correct.

I think that these message boards/website are an excellent resource for people of ALL ages (yes, even as young as 13) and should remain that way. Children and teenagers have the right to knowledge. Weather they are sexually active or not the information here will keep them safe and help them to make their own educated decisions about sex. You can’t make these decisions for them; all that you can do is try to make for sure they are protected from the dangers of sex by telling them about it.

When I first logged onto this site, I was a virgin. I wanted to know all the risks and possible rewards before I experienced sexual intercourse. But, I believe that with or without this site and the information offered to me I would have still had sex. All I know is that I’m glad I had the chance to learn before I took the plunge. Who knows what might have happened or the stupid things I could have done if I hadn’t tried to get information first. Sex is dangerous along with being beautiful, it’s natural for human beings to be interested in and want this sort of connection with a partner.

Don’t close out one of the best ways you as adults have of teaching us openly. I think that if some of the adults here are uncomfortable replying to teenager’s questions they should abstain from doing so. If this is an issue with the site owner he or she should consider opening a teen page or message board completely for the sake of educating us.
