Nope no cookie necessary. Just saying that your "openmindedness" only seems to extend to those with similar beliefs to you. Others are dismissed as trying to prove something to the neighbors. Who,regardless of where you live, most likely are blisssfully unaware of your childrens sex life unless you're talking about or they are putting on a show on the front lawn. Just because you disagree does not mean the parents aren't acting in what they believe to be the best interest of their childen.
We care about our kids and moral values are important to us as well. However, another adult does not have to share your moral values whether they are your child or not.
No, they don't have to. However, they also don't have to live with us. Living with your parents beyond the age of 18 and high school graduation is not a right. I really don't understand what's so hard about having to follow house rules if you want to continue living at the house.
It would also set a terrible example for any younger children. "Now, don't you guys have pre-marital sex, but it's completely OK for you older brother/sister to do it."
I fail to see what moral values have to do with caring for your children. And is it right to place their importance over the well being of your children?
See, we will never agree on this subject. We place this rule because of their well being. We do not think it's healthy for teens to be having sex. You do know that it's possible to not act on every hormonal impulse, yes?

Neighbors can mean friends, people you go to church with. You think people don't talk and judge? You should sit in on my aunt and her church pals with their gossip on who did what one evening. And yes on occasion the person in the neighborhood who's child had their bf/gf walk out of the house early the next morning is both discussed and frowned upon. Banning your child from sex because you believe its morally wrong is not looking out for your child's best interests i'm sorry. Banning your child from sex because you fear the consequences while not perhaps the brightest way to go about it shows the parents heart is in the correct area at least.

Yes and i know that regardless of your rule it will happen or not. Very few teens will not engage in some level of sexual activity before college, and by the first year or two of college most of the rest have as well. And while ones heart might be in the right place it fails to actually protect your children by putting hope in the assumption they will follow your moral values.

Shouldn't it be their personal choice to not engage in pre marital sex however? And i can understand the fact of keeping older children's sex activities out of the house for younger kids, and the parental ick factor .
