That is exactly it.  Young men would say this as they are noit for settling down and getting married at that age anyway---and so they shouldn’t be.  However, it does not stop them getting on with their lives and having relationships of a sexual nature in the meantime.  The problem is there seems to be a stigma attached to a young female of the same age doing that also.   Have you asked him if he will save himself for when he is married?  I just wondered what he would say to that one. 

I guess he is right in one sense.  It matter’s who you are with and that they are mature enough to handle things and that is important.  Whilst he has no worries in that area, his sister would have at some point.  However, you cannot expect kids to put their lives on hold waiting for marraige or a long term sex partner  when it is not really the way the world goes round these days. 

I guess CAH girls may be vulnerable and need to be more careful who they put their trust in basically.  Perhaps that means having a few old fashioned values, but instilling such values in a girl means starting right from when they are a lot younger than 18yrs.  

It seems to me that the 18 yr old CAH’er in this thread will always have the same worry no matter whom she waits for.  We all have these worries as such when we are that age anyway without the additional ones a CAH girl does.  Each to his own.  It would depend how long she has known the guy and how the relationship has developed up to this point and his level of maturity.  You cannot judge all guy (or gals) the same.
