Real risks of premarital sex

So, sex is a big deal - we know!  It's stinkin' everywhere!  You can't watch tv or surf the internet for more than 2.5 SECONDS without seeing something sexual in nature.  Your friends are talking about.  Your mind is on it.  Your body is urging you to do it...so what on earth is a teenager to do!?

We know this is a tough time of life when you're trying to figure out who you are and what you're about.  And sex is a big part of that.  You're asking questions like: "Do I do it or not?"  "What's wrong with me if I haven't?"  "What could happen to me if I did!?"

So, let's get really honest.  There is no avoiding the truth that there are serious risks involved with premarital sex (sex before you're married).  As much fun as sex looks like, you just can't get past the fact - SEX IS RISKY before marriage!

Some people think that you can have sex with "no strings attached," but in real life that's just not true.  No matter what you think about sex, if you get involved in it, it WILL affect you!  Others think that there are certain types of sex that "don't count."  That's not true either!  All kinds of sex are risky - whether we're talking about full-fledged intercourse, oral sex (mouth to underwear zone), mutual masturbation (hands in underwear zones) or anal sex (um, yeah...the rear end section of the underwear zone touching and/or intercourse).  All of these forms of sexual activity put you at risk for STDs.

As you are seeking to make an educated decision about all of that, we want to arm you with all the facts.  So, check it out the different risks that are out there (click on the links for more details):

If you're thinking about having sex (and it's pretty likely that you are!), we encourage you to really consider the facts before you make your decision.  Nobody else will have to deal with the consequences of your actions the same way you will - so don't take this decision lightly.  Even though the media is telling you that it's no big deal - IT IS!
