Generally, it probably would refer to fathers (and mothers) wanting their daughters (and children) to be physically and mentally safe and sound.

However, although many people don't want to admit this because it sounds horrible, many fathers do think about their daughter's sexuality and sex life. They grapple with their daughter's virginity (some even going to the level of chastity promises, etc.) and gasp at the concept of a man touching and sleeping with their daughter. This is something that they tend not to want to discuss with others or think about for long periods of time. It makes them cringe. But, it is something that fathers deal with because of the nature of patriarchy and the family structure.
