Do you think boy-girl sleepovers are wrong

If one boy and one girl around the age of 14 years old, but don't have sex... they just sleep together (no sex though), do you think it is wrong?

Please don't say "Where are your parents?" I need serious answers only.

Yes, it's wrong, and ill-advised. There is no good reason on earth for them to be sleeping in the same room or the same bed.



Why any parent would allow it is beyond me.



Edit: Okay, now we've gone from "no sex and they're just sleeping" to "okay, they're boyfriend and girlfriend but they won't have intercourse, maybe just make out and stuff all night long." Do you really think parents should provide their 14-year-old children a soft comfy private place to make out all night long, and just trust that nature isn't going to take its course eventually? Get real. The way to avoid sex is to avoid the temptation and the opportunity, both of which you'd have if your boyfriend were allowed to spend the night in your bed.



If you want to sleep in the same bed with him, get married.

I don't think it is wrong BUT remember that parents are responsible for their children's well being regardless of "good or bad" intentions.



Legally, the parents can be held liable for their children's actions until the age of 18. So if the parents say no, then that should be the end of discussion. Sorry, but the parents hold the ultimate responsibility here.



Whether you agree with it or not, the fact is that between males and females, an innocent situation can get completely out of hand very quickly, and particularly so when hormones are fluctuating. What must be considered is the unintended consequences (pregnancy, disease, etc) can last a lifetime.



Sleep in separate rooms. You should still be able to see each other and be close but not completely unsupervised.



Having that scenario is not a risk I would take in my own home.

If you are under 18 and live with your parents there is no reason for you to sleep in the same room as a friend of the opposite gender. I don't care how mature or responsible you may think you are.



If you are having a sleepover just to sleep... why can't the boys go home at midnight and come back at 8 am?



Edit: I used to be a teen. I know what "just sleeping" and "just a kiss or two" can lead to. Don't you know that your boyfriend loves you, and he only wants to express that love to you? Don't you trust him? He won't hurt you, you two will be together forever. He only wants to do it that one time! Oops, and he forgot a condom too. No worries. There are great prenatal clinics in your area.

Please.



No, it's not wrong. Please kindly ignore all of these people who want to make it out like you're some kind of pervert for wanting to have your friends over. You say right in your opening line you don't intend to have sex, which is fairly responsible of you. So long as you know where your personal limits lie, it's fine. Emotional satisfaction and closeness with friends is a healthy thing. In this era of paranoia and repression it's good to see someone willing to try to be close without being sexual. All of these people who are so eager to deny each other that closeness, it saddens me, the paranoid, untrusting, isolated world their children will live in.

Just speaking from personal experience and opinion, but when I was 14, my parents would not have even considered allowing me to participate or host a co-ed sleepover. I knew better not to even ask. I'm 20 years old, so 14 wasn't too long ago. I also know that when my son or daughter turns 14 he or she will also be denied the opportunity to participate.

I think it completely depends on the kids involved. If they have been friends for a very long time and have more of a brother-sister relationship it is ok with boundaries.



EDIT: Sleeping in the same bed is definatly pushing it.

DEFINATLY not if they are dating, are you crazy?!

well in my opinion if you trust both of them and strongly believe they will not have anything innapropriate actions going on, and you tell them what is not allowed. and if you believe they will obey fine it's ok! but if you aren't sure you should not take chances



hope i helped! smilies/smiley.gif

Yes, it's wrong because even though you say you won't have sex, being in the same room and same bed can stir up feelings and ideas that will later be regretted. If your parents approve then it's fine, but it's in your best interest that you don't. Hope this helps.

If the boygirl boyfem you know a bit neat. Even then he maybe be faking. I would say no to my daughter. I would say go right ahead to my son if he got the proposal like you want. Something will happen maybe not now but soon enough. You guys will contol the itch only so long.

Well DUH it is wrong! THe girl would be fine, but guy have a harder time controlling themselves! I think that they could sleep in seperate rooms and be at the other end of the house! Married people sleep togther, but they don't have sex every night!

i wouldn't let my kid do that!

However, my best friend & I planned a boy-girl sleepover. The girls slept in a tent in the backyard, and the boys slept on the trampoline.

It worked out fine, because the boys & girls were seperated.

As long as it is a supervised sleepover that both parents know about it is fine. Kids should be able to be trusted if they have earned it! I would only do this if I already knew the other child though.

Bad idea. Too much temptation.



It's like saying "I'm sitting on a racetrack in a Ferrari, engine on, and I'm not going to drive."

I don't think it's wrong, you should just let the guy know you are not having or doing anything sex related.



Good luck!

i don't think it's wrong, but even if you say that, parents get nervous because you might not fall through on it.
