It appears your "norm" and my "norm" are at opposite poles.

My wife and I made sure that our children knew enough that IF they decided to have sex, it would done as safely as possible. We did not hide our heads in the sand and pretend that you can control your children.
From how I read the statistics, unwed teenage mothers occur in all socioeconomic strata though the upper strata can better afford to hide or terminate the pregnancies. And yes, I find the rhetoric about abortion to be rather risible considering the number of people who are anti-abortion even when the pregnancy is the result of rape, incest, endangers the mother's life, etc. The arguments against the morning after pill are even sillier since that leads to the argument that women should be pregnant as often as possible since each ovum that is not fertilized and is lost to a period is a zero-day abortion.
Oddly a quick look at the statistics suggests that teenage pregnancies are on a decline though teenage sex still seems to be rather popular. Perhaps those smutty books are teaching the kids about using protection?
And really, your comment about single parents is a bit risible. Most of the single parents I know do their best to ensure that their children did not suffer from the lack of two parents in the same house. For the most part, I considered many of those children to be better off with one loving parent rather than two parents, one of whom was stuck in the 1800s.
As for STDs, again education does better than ignorance in preventing the spread of STDs. As one friend of my wife said when her husband gave her chlamydia which she did not find out about until a test after she became pregnant, she received an real education in STDs over the next couple of weeks.
As for "moral" behaviour? Do feel that beating your wife and children as long as you use a stick no thicker than your thumb is moral? Do you feel that keeping slaves regardless of race is moral? Do you feel that having multiple wives and concubines is moral? Do you agree that a husband and wife are one person and that person is the husband? After all, those have all been accepted behaviour at some point or another in history and some in the current time.
As for smutty books encouraging underage sex? There seems to have quite a bit of underage sex before literacy became common so I doubt there is much of a correlation between smutty books and underage sex.
