I am very open with my kids and have had very frank conversations with them about sex. Not just the pregnancy and disease part but what the emotional ramifications are also. That said I would not let my kids have an opposite sex sleep over. My daughter is 14 and my son 16 and I am not going to make it easy on them to be tempted. They both had friends sleep over last Halloween and the boys slept downstairs in the living room, the girls in my daughters room and either party would have had to walk past my open door to get one place or the other. I also talked to each kids parents so I knew that they knew the situation and were okay with it.
Its not about being over protective but teenagers do have impulse control problems. The best you can do is educate them and hope they do the right thing but again even if they are going to do it anyway I am not going to serve it up on a silver platter.
