Before you jump into bed with that special someone

“Some teens think it's really lame to wait, but a sexual relationship is special, unique and worth waiting for. It should be just as acceptable to wait for sex.”

—Nicky, 22, Greeley, CO from Sex, Etc.

It's pretty obvious that the only way to avoid dealing with sh** like AIDS, or all of a sudden thinking you need to kill your baby, is by simply not having sex unless you're married to the guy or girl. It's a no-brainer. One of the biggest reasons people get married to pretty much say to everyone "hey, guess what? I'm commited to this person to love, care, and be there, and when we decide to make babies, we're gonna be ready for it, in every way - not just the physical condom stuff." So much for your dumbass boyfriend ditchin' you for being pregnant. Not happening if you're married to the guy.

"Oral sex is risky. You can't get pregnant, but almost every serious STD can be transmitted through this type of sexual activity. Oral sex is just as intimate as intercourse, it has the same emotional repercussions, and can have the same detrimental effects on relationships if it is entered into lightly."
 
Ya gotta know a few interesting facts:
 
  • 1 in 4 teens having sex get Venerial Disease (VD), including AIDS.
  • About one million teen girls get pregnant every year.
  • The U.S. has the highest rate of teen pregnancy, birth, and abortion in the "civilized" world.
  • Less than 33% of teen moms graduate
  • Around 20,000 young people get AIDS each year, which means that two young Americans aged 13 to 24 get HIV every hour.
  • Two-thirds of the 12 million Americans with Venerial Disease are younger than 25.

  • So here are some tips to try:
     
    • "Always go with your gut feeling. If things start to get a little “hot,” tell your partner “No.” If you need to, walk away from the situation. If he wines about it, feel free to dump him. 

      Avoid difficult circumstances, like being home alone with your partner. Be together with other friends or in public places.

    • Think about chosing to always have your bedroom door open when you and your partner are alone in there


    • Chose to never make out lying down, maybe? It's worth the try

    • Always communicate your feelings to your partner (or future partners). Make sure he/she knows upfront you want to wait until you’re married.

    • Write down the most important reasons you want to wait, and have them ready in your mind. Jot down the pros and cons of having sex, even with using a condom (the way most teens use condoms - which is hardly ever 100% as directed, protects you only 60% of the time, and at the most around 80%, which explains why you prob'ly see so many pregnant girls in your high school; 40% of you won't get pregnent or catch a VD, 100% will) When hormones “rage,” say to yourself, “Sure, I’m tempted to have sex, but even more than that I want to wait because…”

    • Always remember you have made an important decision for yourself. Don’t let anyone try to talk you out of it. Be proud of your decision. "

    • I'd hate to sound vulgar, but if you think you need sex real bad, use a replacement. A vibrator, finger, or hand rubbed between your legs should make you feel satisfied until you get married. It's not gross (try it in the shower or bathtub), perfectly normal and OK, won't make you go blind, and is safe from any risk of getting pregnant or catching Venerial Disease. The only "protection" you need when playing there is guarding against "impure" thoughts. Whatever you do, don't feel guilty: you aren't doin' anything wrong.
    Here's a thought: how the heck are two virgins (who don't inject drugs) and marry each other gonna end up dyin' of AIDS or scratching themselves for the rest of their lives (Venerial Disease give you stuff like mind boggling pain (talk about gettin' kicked in the balls), crazy itching, loss of your chance to ever have kids in the future, and, ofcourse, death)? Donated blood is always screened for AIDS these days, so obviously there's nothing to be afraid of if you decide to stay a virgin 'till you marry.
     
    Trust me, it's up to you to decide if it's worth it. "If in doubt, don’t. Many people later look back and regret sexual involvement [before marriage]. Very few regret having waited."

  • laci Says:

    I PERSONALLY THINK ABSTINENCE IS A GREAT IDEA! IM STILL A VIRGIN AND IM 17 YEARS OLD, AND I DONT CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A DORK! I HAVE FUN AND KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE SEX!I LOVE MY LIFE AS IT IS AND I WOULDNT TRADE FOR THE WORLD! I HAVE A SPECIAL GIFT OF PURITY TO GIVE TO MY FUTURE HUSBAND! NOW AS FOR THE REST OF U WHO WROTE THOSE RUDE COMMENTS I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU B/C U’LL NEVER GET A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THAT PURE INTIMACY WITH YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND/WIFE!

  • lauren williams Says:

    I agree with laci! I’m 21 and still a virgin and proud of it. I have a boyfriend of almost 2 yrs. we are getting married and decided not to have sex until then. It’s not easy because of my own wants and the culture we live in. But let me tell you all it’s one of the best gifts to give the one you marry. I also have christ and family/friends to help me. Being a virgin does mean you are a dork. It means you are a wise person. One of my friends I knew since high school is a virgin and is beautiful inside and out. (She looks like janet jackson). Futhermore, people who knew of my virginity especially the guys respected me. And if you have already had sex, stop and wait till you get married. Waiting to have sex until marriage,will allow for a better sex life. You may not get it right the first couple of times, but you have “until death do us part” to get it right!

  • lauren williams Says:

    being a virgin does not mean you’re a dork! (sorry)

  • Daniel Says:

    I have to agree with the list being stupid, but making fun of it is not going to support abstinance. I agree with the last few comments about marriage. I can have sex whenever, but never again can you become a virgin - it’s a one way trip. I am 20 and a virgin, and will savor my marriage.

  • Amber Says:

    I’m 18 and will stay a virgin until my wedding night. That is my gift to my husband and no other man but him.

  • DeannaBelle Says:

    I have many friends from all walks of life. And I promise you, the ones who understand and practice abstinence are the happiest. It’s the ones who don’t who suffer, male and female.

    I’ve been with my boyfriend a total of four years now, over a 5-year time period, and we are both virgins. It’s not easy, but with things of value comes hard work.
