Is
sex a bad thing?
No.
Sex is not bad. Sex is actually one of the most beautiful experiences
two people who have committed themselves to each other in marriage
can ever experience. Sex is a great thing but it can lead to some
very serious consequences like emotional heartbreak, pregnancy
and sexually transmitted diseases when practiced too early in
life. That’s why USA100 recommends that teens wait until
marriage to have sex. Marriage provides emotional, financial and
health benefits which help to make sex and pregnancies the experiences
they should be.

Are
you exaggerating? Can you have sex and not get a disease?
The
term “safe sex” has been around awhile and many people
are familiar with it. Unfortunately, it’s not completely
true. While condoms can help to prevent some pregnancies and STD’s
they are not 100% effective because of defects in the latex, rips,
tears and slippages, and because they do not cover the entire
genital area. Many couples today are surprised to discover that
they have become pregnant or come down with an STD even when they
used condoms. The only way to be 100% sure that you will prevent
pregnancies and STD’s is abstaining from any kind of sexual
contact. Abstinence: 100% Effective.

Does
oral sex count?
Yes.
Many teens have turned to oral sex because of a desire to experience
sexual pleasure while avoiding pregnancy. While oral sex can never
lead to a pregnancy, it does make one vulnerable to the bacteria
and viruses that cause sexually transmitted diseases. Abstinence
means avoiding even oral sex in order to avoid STD’s altogether.

What
is abstinence?
Abstinence
is choosing not to be sexually involved with anyone until you
get married. That means that you will not use any part of your
body to sexually stimulate someone else’s body or to get
them sexually excited. It’s drawing a line in order to protect
your heart, body and future against the possible consequences
of sex. It also serves to preserve a person’s emotional
purity by avoiding sexual baggage that can lead to confusion and
guilt.
