You will not stop your 16 year old daughter from having sex unless you chain her to the bed, home school, and never let her out of your sight.
It's even harder to stop your 16 year old son from having sex.

That said, the only person that can stop a 16 year old from having sex is - themselves.
You teach them, you train them, you instaill the right values in them, at some point you have to let them make their own decisions.
I would consider 16 about the right age for that.

Sex, just like drugs, fast driving, and other dangerously hairbrained behaviors, all parents can do is teach them to do right and hope for the best.

“You will not stop your 16 year old daughter from having sex unless you chain her to the bed, home school, and never let her out of your sight.”

That’s bullsh*t. There are plenty of girls that wait. To make a blanket statement that they’re “all” going to have sex is a lie.
