I too have a different prospective of the “trust” in an adult child. I felt my job as a parent was to raise a ‘responsible adult’. “The talks” at puberty were always centered on being in control and the accountable of adulthood for BOTH my son and daughter.

I actually would be more concerned of there being life issues for a sexually mature person that did not have partners after a decade of finding their way through human existence.
