Sure, we can rationalize away some of that biology, but it still remains that we seek sex instinctively. We all love to prosthelytize in manners that suggest we're far more mature than that, but to say we were mature enough when we were 18, 19, or 20 to turn down sex because there was the slightest chance of pregnancy is ludicrous. If you were or are that mature, congratulations, now use your vast wisdom for good instead of finger-wagging.

Just to clarify, in no way have I ever expected or asked my daughter (or son) not to have sex. My daughter chose to wait till after she was 18 and from the time she was 15 till 18, I was worrying her regualarly because she was seemingly growing up chill to the point of frigid. Fortunately her libido kicked in at 18 (she was menstruating since 9 so it was a long wait for her) anyway, then she went sex crazy. I think that was/is just grand.
I am against her getting pregnant, not against her having sex. Educated women can generally utilize some method to avoid pregnancy. Generally these methods work.
