first of all, nobody can say that one thing has lost its meaning. meaning is more than words, it's abstract thought. in one way or another, you define meaning, so what you think sex should mean is likely quite different from the thoughts of a teenager today.
sex is <i>fun</i>. what you need in order for it to be fun is up to you. the problem today is not teens who want to do it too soon, it's teens who want to do it too soon but don't know how to do it safely because adults would rather pretend the desire will go away than to admit it and talk honest, modern sex education with their children.
that also assumes that the parents aren't ignorant about sex themselves; not surprisingly, sex ineducation would appear to be genetic if we didn't know any better.
