It’s common in many parts of the world to sleep with your girlfriend despite your age or living situation. In certain subsets of teenage “sexual” relationships, parents even allow their children to copulate in their home, rather than in the park or against the back wall of a spacious disability bathroom stall.
Man my childhood was trash then
Just not European. To be fair in the UK there was a 50/50 split amongst my friends on how liberal their families would be. Maybe 60/40 but a plurality of parents would let their 15+ year old children have sleepovers with their bf/gfs. I suppose the age of consent is 16 here so that makes a difference.
Mine were not so liberal on sex. They got pissed with me when I was 17 for having my gf at the time stay the night in their house.
Pretty relaxed about drugs though, although that's another conversation.
My problem was actually growing up in rural Alberta. In my class there was only 11 girls and they were all howdy type people who ride horses so I kind of got spawn camped in life
Like where?
I'm in the US and spent most of my weekends at my girlfriend's house when I was that age. Her dad spent all his time at the bar so we we're always alone. Good times.
France, Nordic countries, chunks of Germany and Africa.
Netherlands is one example that has a lot of media coverage, i.e. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/teenage-sex-and-dutch-courage-from-an-early-age-youngsters-in-the-netherlands-talk-openly-with-their-parents-about-sex-we-have-much-to-learn-from-their-approach-says-susan-marling-1401486.html and https://www.salon.com/2010/09/08/netherlands_teen_sex/
