Yeah, but it is a thought provoking read for parents who might be in the same situation with their kids.

Really old, but still relevant.
All the parental concerns are valid, but...they can do what you are worried about anytime anywhere. There has to be a level of trust, after all he has come out to you already.
You know your son. A plus is he asked. If the other kids and the parents are decent I would.
Or, you could have the sleepover at your house, and observe to build trust.

Yes, let them have their sleepover. What is the downside of teenage boys having sex together? Nothing. Nobody gets pregnant and it's better than having secrets. Most boys do sexual things with other boys, regardless of their sexual orientation. It's just a boy thing. You'll just never know about it unless you catch them in the act. They will grow up to be who they grow up to be, regardless. It is harmless. Stop worrying about it. Girls are much more likely to cause grief to their parents, so let your boys be boys.

What sexist nonsense. Girls would be unlikely to get into such trouble like teenage pregnancy if parents were not so keen to let their boys be boys!

As to the initial question in this zombie thread... at 17 no. It is probably less than a year till he'll have complete freedom and as many sleep overs as he wants.

What's the point of a 17 year old of any sexual orientation "spending the night?" It's usually a cover for illegal or immoral activity.

The curfew should cover everything he needs to do anyway - spending the night is superfluous.

STD's are growing in teenagers, it is a well known fact. I doubt most boys do sexual things with other boys either.
