Let’s
talk honestly here, okay? Let’s assume for the time being that
you’ve already had sex…maybe once, maybe a lot. Maybe
with someone you really cared about, or maybe you hardly knew them
at all. Maybe you have engaged in sexual intercourse, or maybe it
was oral sex. Have your experiences helped you understand the real
deal about sex? No, we’re not talking about the mechanics of
sex…have you figured out a thing or two about the emotions involved
in sexual acts?
If you’re
suffering right now because of a relationship that went too far and
then crashed and burned, you are not alone. There are many people
out there dealing with regrets, heartbreak, fear of future relationships,
fear of never having a future relationship, distrust, guilt, embarrassment…you
name it. Sex can bring a lot of baggage with
it when it is shared outside of a loving and committed relationship…you
know, that relationship that promises to love and protect, to really
be with you

In
the “Future Poll” featured in the February 2003
issue of Teen People magazine, 92% of all teens responded that
they want to be married some day. |
Ah,
we know what you’re thinking! You came to this page for
some advice on what to do or on how to “say no”
to sex for now…and we start bringing up the marriage thing!
Yep, that’s because most young people want to be married
someday! We have learned that from the thousands of NJ high
school students we’ve polled…and also from more
formal polls conducted by other groups.
Understanding that
sex before marriage has the potential to harm your body, your
mind, your heart and your spirit is VITAL if you’re going
to RESPECT yourself enough to wait for the real deal. Stick
with us for a few minutes here…we’ll break it down
for you & then you decide for yourself. Remember, making
choices is a powerful gift…you NEED to make your sexual
choices based on information and reality…not hormones!
Making choices because they feel good at the moment, well, that
winds up only feeling good for the moment. Later comes the price,
and sometimes you just don’t want to pay it!! |

online quiz and see what your answers about sex and marriage reveal
