My stepdaughter has become sexually active, and her father and I want to educate her about them. Due to her mother's parenting style, she has opportunities in abundance and has made use of them. We've done our very best to educate her to use better judgment than this, up to and including court actions, so please refrain from making judgments on our parenting. Internet resources would be appreciated.
Free samples of condoms, dental dams, and all methods of preventing STDs other than abstinence?
If you go to the Trojan website you can order 1 free sample, and there may be other condom companies who do this as well. There should be sex education classes offered in your area for free or very cheap (and if there isn't, someone should do something about that!), and many times they give out free samples at the classes.
You can order a large variety of things at an affordable price from ozonecondoms.com. It is a condom shop (not an "adult store") in Boise, Idaho that primarily sells condoms and other sexual health accessories. They offer a large variety of condoms, many flavors of dental dams, lubricants and sexual health books.
Reply:Well preventing pregnancy is easier than the STDs. Since you can't count on her to be responsible I'd choose a 5 year protection. I would opt to have a norplant implant put in. Norplant is an effective, long-acting, reversible contraceptive for women that protects for up to five years. Six thin, flexible capsules made of a soft, rubberlike material, filled with a synthetic progestin, are inserted just under the skin of a woman's upper arm in a minor surgical procedure. The implants do not contain estrogen.

STDs -- Other than the items you mentioned there is nothing available to help. Perhaps your local hospital offers a STD education program as some do. A bit of education might help her. I know you have been teaching her but a hospital program might reach her from another angle.
