Yeah...they both knew they were treading on sensitive ground so I'm sure that's why he stopped by to ask how I felt. And while I understand girls often mature faster than boys, I had a frank discussion with the kid about why a college freshman wanted to go out with a 15 y.o. 10th grader (notwithstanding the obvious).
The girls are very open in discussing the details of their ....ahem...experimentation and development. We try to be candid and realistic about human sexual development and view much of their actions as a normal part of growing up. And we try to discuss things in a manner that is not moralistic or patronizing to them. Bottom line is we want them to understand the consequences of their behaviour and make responsible decisions accordingly. In other words on their terms rather than someone else's.
Make sense?
