Does giving condoms to teenagers under the age of consent encourage them to have sex?

ohhhhh good point .......
personally i would say no.
If they were at that stage of "experementing" id sooner they have condoms rather than getting pregnant or catching STD`s

I don't know Jay, what do the experts say? I'm sure there are studies about it. I try not to think about it yet!

I think even if a teenager isn't having sex, giving them condoms to get used to carrying them can't harm.  I don't think it encourages them, cos a teenager will do it when s/he is ready regardless.  But I'm no expert.

I dont think it encourages them no. They'll do it when they're ready and I'd rather my kids had them with them when they get to that age, than not use one. I think it really important that they know how important it is to use them when the time comes.

The reason why I asked this question was just to get a few veiwpoints.
Jess (15) has her boyfriend J(16) coming to stay with us at half term. (He lives in Essex 240 miles away from us hence the stay over)
They met back in August when he was on holiday in Devon. Since then have talked everyday sometimes for hours on the phone and net. They seem pretty keen on each other. Part of me hoped it would fizzle out as he was so far away but it hasn't. And eventually after long disscussions with Kev we agreed he could come visit. At least on my turf, I get to keep a close eye on things.
Anyway, Jess and I have talked and she assures me she's not ready for the sex thing yet and won't be doing anything until she is ready. But having said this we all know how these things sometime happen.
I don't want her to be at this stage yet, and she say's she isn't but I feel she should be prepared.
I feel that I should make condoms available to her, not to say "ok go ahead you can do it now" rather to say "I don't want you to do it, ever, but if and when you do please do it safely and don't take any chances."
Oh and they will be on seperate floors let alone seperate rooms, I'm camping on the stairs for the week with my rolling pin.

How sensible of Jess...  and of course you're right, she should have them available to her just in case. I hope she doesn't 'do it' though, for her own sake anyhow cause she is so young... Good luck with the camping...

well, lol.  This I know.  You can't stop them, but to teach them responsibility will hopefully not have you being a granny  in you 30s.  Or like me, soon to be twice over

I'd rather my son used a condom...which he does...than him become a father at 17. The kids today are going to have sex no matter how much we don't like it to happen. Better safe than sorry

Ok cant help but look at this . I can speak from the aspect of someone who is or was a teen mom . If my mom had given me condoms I would have been embarrassed but it may have prevented my peers from looking down on me . So I would say that giving condoms to your teenager doesnt encourage them to have sex but rather that if they do to at least practice safe sex .
