Yes, and I believe this contributes heavily with the "sex" problems we read about so often. Confused children that grow up into confused adults, not really knowing what is right, what is enough.
We would never give children the keys to the car at 15 and tell them to go learn to drive.
We would never give children a screwdriver and pliers and tell them to upgrade the electrical cables in the house.
We would never throw a child off a boat into deep water and tell them to learn to swim.
Most of lifes activities require education and training. Yet, when it comes to sex, parents are mute. Most children are thrown out there in the wild, clueless, confused, and expected to figure it out for themselves, only able to talk to other children as ignorant on the subject as themselves.
