1. Many teenage girls sleep with guys
because they are trying to find love, to find
self-worth. But the catch is that
the more guys they sleep with, the less self-
worth they had.
2. Many girls think that if they really care
about guys, s*x will bring them closer
together. Indeed, s*x creates a
bond. However, 80 percent of the time, the
physical intimacy of first s*xual relationship
won’t last more than
six months.
3. Couples who want what is best for their
relationship or future marriage will have the
patience to wait.
4. Most of the time, when a girl gives away
her virginity, she assumes the relationship
will last forever.But study of more than
10,000 women shows that when a girl loses
her virginity at that age at 14, she’ll probably
have about
thirteen more lifetime s*xual partners.
5. Teen s*x frequently causes tension within
families because of the dishonesty that
usually accompanies the
hidden intimacies. Relationships with friends
are often strained, and when things turn
sour, the gossip and social
problems often become unbearable.
6. Everyone talks about how hard it is to say
no to s*x, but no one tells you how hard it is
when you say yes.
7. It is dangerous for a teenage girl to be
sexually active. Because a teenage girl’s
reproductive system is still
immature, she is very susceptible to sexually
transmitted diseases
8. In fact, early s*xual activity is the number
one risk factor for cervical cancer, and the
second is multiple
s*xual partners. A girl’s body, like her heart,
is not designed to handle multiple s*xual
partners.
9.While a girl might plan on sleeping with
only one guy, she could be exposing herself
to the STDs of hundreds of
people through a single act of intercourse.
Here’s how: Scientists studied the s*xual
activity of a public high school of about one
thousand students. About half (573) of the
students had been sexually active, and most
of them had only been with one partner.
However, when the scientists tracked the
web of s*xual activity among the students, it
was discovered that more than half of the
sexually active teens—without knowing it—
were linked
together in a network of 288 partners within
the school! So if a girl slept with a guy from
this school, theoretically she could be in bed
with one-fourth of the entire student body.
10.The emotional side effects of premarital
s*x are also damaging to a young woman.
One of the most common
consequences of teenage s*xual activity is
depression. Girls who are sexually active are
more than three times
as likely to be depressed as girls who are
abstinent. In fact, the condition has become
so predictable that the
American Journal of Preventive Medicine
recommends to doctors: “[Girls who are
engaging in] s*xual intercourse
should be screened for depression, and
provided with anticipatory guidance about
the mental health risks of
these behaviors.”Even if a girl experiments
with s*x once, research shows an increased
risk of depression. Also, consider the fact
that the rate of suicide attempts for sexually
active girls (aged twelve to sixteen) is six
times higher than the rate for virgins.
11. Unfortunately, many young women
search for meaning only in relationships with
guys, instead of with God. It is not
uncommon for a girl to have s*x in order to
make a guy like her more or to encourage
him to stay with her. She may compromise
her standards because she is
afraid of never being loved. Once he leaves
her, though, an emotional divorce takes
place. A person’s heart is not
made to be that close to a person and then
separated.
12. Since teenage s*xual relationships rarely
last, the girl’s sense of self-worth is often
damaged. She may conclude that if she
looked better, he would have stayed longer.
This mentality can lead to harmful practices,
such as eating disorders. Or the
disappointment she feels may drive her into
a state of self-hatred. Some young women
even begin to hurt their own bodies in an
attempt to numb the emotional pain. Such
practices never solve the problems, though.
If she wants to be loved, she needs to begin
by loving herself.
13. In her heart, a girl who has been used
knows it. However, she may immediately
jump into another s*xual
relationship to escape the hurt. If she tries
to boost her self-esteem by giving guys what
they want, then her self-
worth often ends up depending upon those
kinds of relationships. Her development as a
woman is stunted because without chastity
she does not know how to
express affection, appreciation, or attraction
for a guy without implying something s*xual.
She may even conclude that a guy does not
love her unless he makes s*xual advances
toward her. She knows that s*x exists
without intimacy, but she may forget that
intimacy can
exist without s*x. A girl on this track usually
feels accepted initially, but that acceptance
lasts only as long
as the physical pleasure.
14. Such a lifestyle will also take its toll on
her ability to bond. Here’s why: Sharing the
gift of s*x is like putting a piece of tape on
another person’s arm. The first bond is
strong, and it hurts to remove it. Shift the
tape to another
person’s arm, and the bond will still work,
but it will be easier to remove. Each time
this is done, part of each
person remains with the tape. Soon it is
easy to remove because the residue from the
various arms interferes with
the tape’s ability to stick.
15. The same is true in relationships,
because neurologists have discovered that
previous s*xual experiences can interfere
with one’s ability to bond with future
partners. This does not mean that if a
person is not a virgin on the wedding night,
he or she will be unable to bond with a
spouse. It simply means that when we follow
God’s plan, we have the most abundant life
possible. But
when we turn from his designs and break his
commandments, often we are the ones who
feel broken afterward.
16 Spiritual. Sin cuts us off from God, and
this is the most serious consequence of
premarital s*x. After going too
far, many of us know all too well the cloud
of guilt that weighs on our hearts. The
solution is not to kill our
conscience but to follow it to freedom. It is
calling us, not condemning us. Provided we
repent, God will be there to
welcome us home and let us start over.
What this all means is that our bodies, our
hearts, our relationships, and our souls are
not made for premarital
s*x. We should wait to have s*x.

well.......i can agree on the emotional effect of early sexual activities but yet again jst like hunger and pain, emotions are a series of electrical impulses in the brain and can be gotten over in the right time and right remedy.
Underdeveloped countries like Nigeria put sex on a high pedestal, and install the mindset that sex is an entity to be recognised. while developed countries like USA, britain, sex is jst a leisure time activties. Male and females concentrate on more important issues like scientific development and money to achieve a level of comfortability on earth that the bible and Quran describes has heaven.
The moment we stop subjecting females to the bottom of society by looking at them has baby making factories and entities for sexual satisfaction of their male counterparts thats, the moment we realise women have a greater role to play in our society and realise male and female are equals.
N.B
i had my heart broken at 16 and it felt just has bad as any other female who had her heart broken at 16. I had sex at 17 and it felt just had good has any girl at that age would feel it.
