Teenage Sexual Activity Continues Downward Trend (less than 1/3 of M, F!)
Important, shocking-to-me fact: [E]arly sex is not usually "good sex" or even "safe sex." Of those teens who have sexual relations, a significant majority report dissatisfaction and disappointment with the experience. Especially for teen girls, "safer sex" is not often emotionally safe. In fact, when asked, the vast majority of sexually experienced girls say they wished they had waited. According to a 2000 poll by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, nearly two-thirds of teens who initiated sexual activity said they wished they had delayed their decision. Among girls, the results were striking: 72 percent of girls wished they had waited. Another fact: [I]n the recent CDC research, nearly 40 percent of teens said they avoided sex because of religious reasons. Posted by: trailing wife 2005-01-26 |
