Teens - Advice About Sex
Sex In the City (and everywhere else):
Sex and sexual imagery is everywhere! Advertising on television, the radio and in magazines often use images of sex to appeal to larger audiences and to get attention. There are clothing and jewelry ads that display women in provocative positions. There are songs that "talk about sex, baby...Let's talk about you and me." It is hard to get away from it, even on the internet. Click on this link for MSNBC articles about teen sex.

dangers of provocative advertising. This site is an interesting and

of the earth and blew the breath of life into his nostrils. The man became a
living being...The the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be

- Procreation - the purpose of having children and creating a family
- Identification - the purpose of developing a bond between man and woman through marriage
- Recreation - the purpose of enjoyment

from a boyfriend or girlfriend, and from ourselves. How can you juggle all
of these competing ideas? It is important to educate yourself about the
physical risks and
emotional risks of having sex before you are ready. Why is it a good
idea to wait for marriage?

articles on the topic of Christian sex can be found here.
