Amy Schaltes effortlessly argues that sex, one of life’s most trivial issues, could be less difficult to handle if parents embraced their children’s natural maturation, instead of shying away from it. Schaltes’s “The Sleepover Question” is informative, and gets the audience thinking. Why is teen sex so controversial? Would talking about it remove the stigma from consensual teenage sex?

Many matters are mentioned by Coben, but in his argument he overlooks several aspects, and fails to elaborate on certain
