Teenagers/Pressured for Sex

What if I'm Being Pressured to Have Sex?

"Isn't it better to give in?" you might ask.  "After all, isn't everyone having sex?"

Stop and think!

Fact: Not everyone is doing it.

True, you may read about high statistics. For example, a U.S. study revealed that by the time they finish high school, 2 out of 3 youths in that country are sexually active. But that also means that 1 out of 3-a sizable number-are not.

What about those who are? Researchers have found that many such youths experience one or more of the following rude awakenings. 

Distress.  Most youths who have engaged in premarital sex say that they regretted afterward. 

Distrust. After having sex, each partner begins to wonder, 'Who else has he/she had sex with?' 

Disillusionment.   Deep down, many girls would prefer someone who will protect them, not use them.  And many boys find that they are less attracted to a girl who has given in to their advances.  

The bottom line.  Your body is far too valuable to give away. Show that you have strength of character (and respect for yourself) by obeying God's laws against premarital sex. Then, if you do marry one day, you have sex.  and you'll be able to enjoy it fully-without the regrets, worries, and insecurities that are so often the aftermath of premarital sex. -Proverbs 7:22, 23; 1 Corinthians 7:3.

Note: Remember ladies,  we are not new cars to be tried out before marriage. And young boys are eager to try out something they have never done and they get, let's just be honest here; they get horny.  They are not thinking with the right heads.  I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I tell it like it is. You need to know.  There is also the danger of pregnancy and if that boy that got you that way, is heading towards a scholarship for a sports  career or any other career, they most likely will not want to be a parent.  And for the record,  Condoms do tend to break. So, I would recommend waiting until you are married. It's safer that way, believe me.
