In Response To: “I allow my daughter to have s** but only at home, with her bedroom door open. I watch and supervise.”

Rapper T.I. discussed his supervision of his 18 year-old daughter Deyjah Harris. He is privy to results of her gynecological exams. “Not only have we had the conversation about s**, we have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen,” he told podcast and other publishers. “Yes, I go with her … I will say, as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact.” Some fathers like rapper T.I sit in on their daughter’s her gynecological exams.

Supervision of a daughter’s s***** mating can yield positive results: protecting their daughter’s s***** reputation, preserving their daughter’s mate value, and preventing their daughter from being s******* exploited. Parents in particular are ideally positioned for exerting influence over the mating decisions of their children. Those whose reproductive success (RS) can be affected by another individual’s mating decisions, such as parents or close kin, will attempt to influence that mating.

Parents are typically in close proximity to their children and often control resources on which children depend, creating special leverage for exerting influence. Supervision can prevent the costs of untimely or unwanted pregnancy. By engaging in guarding behavior designed to prevent damage to the daughter’s long-term mate value, parents can significantly improved the reproductive success (RS) of their daughters.

Women are always sure that their children are their own. Men, in contrast, experience uncertainty over the paternity of their offspring. Studies estimated that in North America, 13% of men unknowingly raise children who are not their biological offspring.

Because the number of a woman’s premarital s***** partners and her promiscuity, are key predictors of future infidelity, when looking for a long-term mate, men prefer women with less-than-average s***** experience, few s***** partners, and those who display cues to fidelity. A reduction in a daughter’s long-term mate value could harm the parents’ reproductive success (RS) if it prevents her from obtaining a high-quality mate who will invest in her and her children or confer direct economic or social benefits on the parents.

So regarding the Confession: Perhaps now you can better understand the reason the father personally supervises his daughter’s s***** i**********, limits her to two boyfriends, and examines her to be sure she is not having s** outside the home. As her father, he does know what’s best for her. In a world of promiscuous s**, far more girls should be closely supervised.
