I had a doctored ID too so I could run shifts when I was still technically a minor, so I see where you're coming from. I can see giving your kid their first drink, etc. Those things seem safer in a controlled environment- and maybe that's the thinking also behind buying your son a 'tute- but it seems that by doing so you're also kind of spoon feeding them / not teaching them hard knocks. You're kind of bypassing an important piece of the puzzle, the social interaction leading up to getting some.
You're not really teaching them how to get laid, so I just don't see how it falls in line with developing life skills. It just seems you're better off letting things develop naturally in that department. Seems like by skipping that step you're hurting their game, not helping it.

The first time I got lucky, the girl was kind enough to pretend that she didn't notice it was my first time. And for that I shall forever remember her fondly. Later, I dated some whom I'm quite certain would have behaved rather differently
The old school thinking Rob speaks of was, I gather, simply about ensuring that the kid had a clue what to do when the time came. That, and maybe to give him a little more confidence.
The kid would still need to develop his own game if he wanted more.
Of course, there's not much need for this sort of thing nowadays.
