the last thing I want is my child learning about sex and how it relates to some abstract religious world view.

people have sex. my child will have sex. will he have it for the first time when he's 15, or 25? who knows. but what he needs is a thorough understanding of the physical and emotional consequences of the act.

he needs to know that teenage girls (at to a lesser extent, teenage boys) are very emotional creatures, and that when you have sex with a girl, especially if it's her first time, she's never going to leave you alone. ever. you're always going to be connected on that level. and that can be a very difficult situation to get out of.

the emotionality of it all is crazy enough without injecting any religious or moral overtones in to the situation.
This. The world is not viewing it from religions eyes... Neither will my child. Other than the "meant to be good" no sex until marriage part. Religion will be heavily preached on that aspect
