I was a Slash girl, but Duff was always cool.

A bit of advice for daughter-raising from someone who was raised in a non-restrictive environment yet did not become a slut:

Try doing what my mom and dad did...explain to your child from a young age: most people are stupid morons, and your child is just way better than them all in smarts and character. The idea of intimately touching absolute idiots is pretty unpalatable to a well-raised child, and a parent's affirmation of how awesome you are in non-superficial ways will keep you pretty well protected until you realize they were lying to you out of love, in about your early twenties. Safe!

Other than that...hope they are so awkward through their tweens/teens that there is no hope of contact with the sex of their interest? Also, encourage them to spend all of her time with nonthreatening, obviously gay young men. Straight boys are a nervewracking and dull alternative.

When I read "broaching the delicate topic of sex with his daughter," I thought this was going in a whole different direction.

Whew, man.

@Lax Danja House: co-sign. And the guy has a workout regimen that would put us all to shame, hence the Bowie-esque glow.
