OK so your planning on having a seriouse chat with you son but you need to think about how your going to do this.
1: Whats he going to say when finds out his parents hav been in room snooping (even if you weren't snooping thats how he's going to see it)
2: Who is going to have the talk to your son, In my opinion it probabally best if the father does because he may find it more embarassing coming from his mother and if both of you do it he may feel like he's being teamed up against.
3: Why can't he have sex? Thats going to be his first question folowed by "but were safe and were inlove and were both old enough"
You need to think about you response to that question.
4: I don't think he should be punished becasue having sex is natural, If he agreed to not having sex in your house then maybe a punishment is in order. If you do punish him, there's a good chance that you will be pushing him away.
5: Don't be harsh when you have this chat, you need to be relaxed think how embarassed your son will be?
good look
