Walking a Tightrope

 

Morning

"Had a meeting with my son's coach and he's got a bowl of condoms on the corner of his desk. Some parents are starting to grumble. What's your take?"

Oh, yeah, we've heard these stories, haven't we? The parents who think it's giving permission or promoting sex. And, "who's paying for them" is another big concern.

I think it's a bit like walking a tightrope. But here's the thing: Once they've become sexually active, are they going to stop? No. Just like when they start jacking off, they aren't going to stop just because someone tells them they shouldn't.

They may as well be safe. Safe from unwanted pregnancy and safe from STIs.

Maybe the coach should put that bowl in a file cabinet or desk drawer. Still accessible, but not "in your face" obvious that they're there and free for the taking.

What say you, Readers?
