Be interested to know in what capacity your wife deals with these kids.
I'm not questioning that 14-year-olds and kids even younger are engaging in sexual activity. I'm sure I could go out to a random school here and grab a kid 10 years my junior who's had more pussy than me. Heh, maybe I'm just jealous.
What I am saying is that just because it goes on doesn't make it right. While you have to take into account that different kids mature at different rates, I don't believe it's right for a 14-year-old child to be behaving as if they are sexually mature. In my opinion, it's a dangerous patter of behaviour, a dangerous precedent if you will, for a child of that age to be getting into.
Obviously it can lead to pregnancy, STDs, and all the rest of it, but it's also about emotional and mental wellbeing. Kids are simply not mature enough to deal with what they are doing. Sex is a weapon in the wrong hands, it needs to be handled carefully. Humans, in my opinion, are cursed with complicating emotions that can make sport fucking extremely damaging. Adults have the capability to separate and deal with it, we can look at sex, and say, yeah, it's just sex. Kids? They don't know shit.
It's down to good parenting to ensure that your children are not off fucking at the age of 14, because they simply are not stable enough to deal with it. In my opinion, it can foreshadow serious emotional adequacy problems in later life (this coming from a guy whose ex lost her cherry at 12 and continued her promiscuity throughout her teens - yeah, it wasn't fun)
And I know it was the same during my teens. I didn't have sex until I was 21, and I had very little experience of any kind before that, for varying reasons. Do I think it damaged me? Sometimes I feel a twinge of regret, but on the whole, I think my sexual outlook is a lot healthier now for having abstained.
