Me neither. The only balls I care about are my own.

Do you honestly think my teenaged boys want to talk to their mom about condoms and sex?

I'd do it if I had to, but I don't have to, and I think my sons are grateful for that. I don't really want to know the details of their sex life either.

they're pretty much commitment ceremonies that fathers and daughters attend. the daughters pretty much promise to stay "pure" until marriage. sometimes rings are involved. the people on this particular documentary I'm watching are creepy, full on "Christian" cons. on the other story I referenced, they were not so intense.
Rings? They exchange rings with their Daddy?

The whole set up sounds icky.

"Fathers make a vow and promise to protect their daughters and guard their virginity. As the fathers are making these vows and promises, they present a purity ring (or other item) to their daughters. These daughters are then under their fathers guard and protection until they are married and replace their purity ring with a wedding ring. The daughters promise their fathers that they will stay pure."

from a site that sells rings

Purity Balls | Pledge your virginity today and let your father be involved.

What about the ones where the girl gives their daddy a pink box with a key inside?

Creepy.

Well, I don't know about your teenaged boys, but my teenaged boy had no trouble discussing condoms and sex with me. If you keep an attitude of it being healthy and natural, there's no reason to feel uncomfortable discussing it with a parent.
Even some of my son's friends came to me for advice, because their parents refused to talk to them about it. The fact that I'm a nurse probably made them feel more comfortable.
