Carl-E:
Well, I guess most bases have been covered, except one;

Latex allergies.  Along with as many as 8% of the population, my wife and both daughters will break out in hives if any skin contact with latex occurs.  And god forbid that contact be internal - breathing problems and anaphylactic shock (in rare, extreme cases) can occur. 

The good news is, there are a lot of non-latex condoms available now (not the quasi-reliable lambskin ones of days gone by), and most people know about such allergies early enough in life that they'll be careful.  My wife made a gift of a box of non-latex condoms to each of our girls when they got their first serious boyfriends.  After all, there's no reason a girl can't be prepared, too!

I'd totally understand if you don't want to answer this, but how did your daughters react to that?

Sharp:
You know, I'm honestly surprised by all the "Angus: Virgin?" talk!

I mean, for Angus, THIS IS IT! This is the big moment he's been waiting for, or at least one of the big ones that set an integral part of any relationship. Sex! (Even if it's the abstaining from it, that should still count as a healthy sexual relationship)  He's not nervous because he's a virgin, and I don't think he's nervous because of Faye's issues, he's nervous because here is a new sexual partner. You know what they say about first impressions...and Angus seems like the kind of guy who would want to make everything perfect to impress Faye.

Well, that's what I have to weigh in on the topic.

Yes!! That's how parents SHOULD do it! Instead they pussyfoot around the subject and just hope they never ask. And we all know where that leads to.

On the subject of today's comic, I would like to say that there are FAR worse things that guys have that we don't say a word about yet we are expected to be pristine angels for you guys. (Yes I realize there was probably some sarcasm on Angus' part but still. Guys do have unreasonable expectations and that's why we have to pretty ourselves up so much before dates. -.- )
