Parents have been known to try all sorts of crazy things to keep their kids from getting into trouble. And the older the kids become, the craftier the parents have to be. By the time their children are adults, a lot of parents have resorted to downright manipulation to get their kids to do what they want. Luckily for the Spears family, Britney’s parents –or at least her dad – can back up most of his commands with a court order. I bet a lot of other parents of adult children wish they could do that – though I doubt many of them would agree to deal with Britney Spears in exchange for it.

Jamie Spears has supposedly banned Britney from having sex for the next six months. It’s pretty much what a parent of a 16 year old – not a 26 year old – would do. Though he’s certainly got good reason.

Britney Spears’ parents have reportedly slapped a six-month sex ban on their daughter to prevent any bumps in the road on her way back to the top. Fiercely protective Jamie and Lynne Spears feel that Britney’s downfall was linked to the men in her life and want their daughter to refrain from any male contact for a while.

With two failed marriages, a relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and reports of a supposed sex tape, the troubled star’s questionable taste in men has often come back to haunt her.

A friend tells Now, “Jamie and Lynne feel she’s so close to cracking the big time again that they don’t want anything to get in her way.

“They’re desperate to ensure that it won’t happen again. Their worst nightmare is that she gets involved with someone else who’s just trying to use her for her money or to further their own career.” Britney’s dad already has control over her financial assets until December - whether he can do the same with her sexual habits remains to be seen.

While I think this makes a lot of sense in theory, I really would like to know how Britney’s dad plans to enforce this rule. I assume it would be something logical (again, logical for a 14-year-old) like taking away some of her privileges if he finds out she’s slept with someone. Maybe no TV or Nintendo for the day? A cut in her allowance?

It makes sense that this would be a good move for Britney, but there’s something so creepy about a father controlling his 26-year-old daughter’s sex life. It really makes me hope this story isn’t true – though I guess if we see Britney without her Fraps in the next few weeks, we’ll know she’s on some sort of restriction.
