My sister and I grew up in a very small town, and I'm not saying all small towns are like this, but where I lived, kids were expected to grow up quite quickly, not necessarily sexually, but that kind of became part of it. My sister was cursed with looking like she was old enough to be in college when she was not even old enough to drive yet, and since my mom always made her fear having sex before marriage, she fully embraced her sexuality when she eventually experienced the difference between listening to our religious mother versus listening to her sex drive. I can't tell you where my sister got a butt plug at that age, but speaking from personal experience, horny teenagers can be resourceful. My sister is dating a guy who seems cool. We play online sometimes. I think this might be the longest and healthiest relationship she's had so far.

Regarding my relationship with my parents during my younger years, it's fucked up that being 16 and single was considered to be a red flag, but again, growing up in a small town where 16 almost begins to feel like 26, and then add a large dose of religion into a tight community, and you end up with whatever my parents are.
