Would you allow your 16-year-old to have sex?

Or would you punish them?

I say yes. Condoms work.

Are we ever going to get the story from the OP that spawned this thread?  Your "my mom sucks, here's how" series of threads is one of the best here.  Certainly better than that one guy's series of polls asking "which is better? good thing or bad thing".

My mom forbade me from talking to girls when I was ~8-18 years old.

oh yeah, I think you mentioned that in one of the early threads.  That's crazy, of course.  How did she pull it off?  Were there not girls at school or in the neighborhood?

My mom also forbade me from leaving the house without her supervision.

To clarify, here's two situations I had in mind:

1. Your 16-year-old comes home with a box of condoms and their significant other. They want to have a sleepover.

2. You open the door to your 16-year-old's room and see them in the act (having had no idea beforehand).

if believing this makes me Puritan than I am proud to be one

Nobody has called you a "Puritan" as of yet.
