OK. We clearly differ on the definitions of "good example" and "right and wrong". As for STDs, I would imagine your son knows the other boy's reputation well enough to make a reasonable determination of risk on his own. As for emotional issues from sex, you can trust me when I say most boys aren't burdened with an abundance of them the way girls are.
In most states, your child is a victum of rape if you allow this. That leaves you open to child endangerment or abuse which could put you in jail. You have to make your child understand that he has the right to live his own life, but not on your dime and not necessarily with your approval. It's only a year.
This discussion isn't even about the OP anymore. It now seems to be about whether or not it is ok for teens to have sex in your own house with your permission. The OP should know how s/he would handle it for a straight teen and do the same for her gay teen.
I think it has the same rules as if he wanted to sleep at a girls house. So no I don't see a positive ending to this.
Whoa, I am a 28 year old married woman (married for 3 years) I had 3 men on the groomsmen side who were my BEST friends and even some were college apartment mates of mine.
When I was born, many of the other ladies my mom knew had boys, hence those were my friends. They DID spend the night in highschool, nothing EVER happened then or years later.
Teens are not always crazy sex crazed maniacs. They RESPECT their friendships and value those friendships.
will am the same age and gay? but like my mom did she trusted me and i stayed with friends but she trust me do u trust him plus like i said if the other boys mom and dad r there it sould not matter let him go
I've never known parent who did let their girlfriend stay the night. Not at 17. As a compromise, maybe she can invite them to stay at her house if she has reservations. Sounds like a reasonable alternative.
I slept over my boyfriend's house (who then later became my husband) at around age 16. It just sometimes worked out better when me having to drive home at night if we were out doing things together. Plus, sex aside, we just liked being together--waking up in the same bed together. Now it's something we do every day--but at that point, it was quite the amazing experience.
I never got pregnant, never got an STD, or had anything "bad" happen to me. You know what the key was? Communication. I knew from an early age about the consequences of being sexually active--and I was able to prepare for it with the guidance from my very open, understanding parents.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to let your nearly-adult age child sleep over at someone's house that he might possibly have sexual relations with (male or female). Just stess safe sex. Make sure he UNDERSTANDS the importance of it.
Your son will be an adult in less than a year--do what feels logical to you.

I know this thread is old and I'm a lil late but i searched it up and found it so someone else could have too. In my opinion i think its ok to let two teenagers sleepover as long as they have: 1. Known each other for a while now 2. you yourself have met this over teenager and know if they are a good person or not and 3. You trust your son or daughter. My mother trusted me enough to know that I wouldn't dare have sex in her house (Unless she was no where to be found lol) and my boyfriend knew my family and wasn't a stranger to my home so when he and I asked if he could stay one night when it got late after a visit it didn't seem like a strange request. Ofcourse we weren't sleeping in the same bed but we were in the same room. (He slept on a pallet on the floor)
