WHY WAIT?
10 Good Reasons to Wait for Sex
1.You won't need to worry about an unwanted, unplanned pregnancy that can result in consequences that last a lifetime.
2.You won’t get an STD, HIV/AIDS.
3.You won’t have the heart ache and regret that come with the end of a relationship that went "too far"1
4.You will be free to pursue your ambitions, dreams & goals.
5.You will respect yourself in a special way and & you will feel good about yourself for making a decision that matters.1
6.Others will respect you for taking a stand - some may think it's whacky - but they probably don't know what you know about sex and consequences. If they did know, they'd probably have a different outlook on things!
7.You will know where your boundaries are and not step over them.
8.You will value sex with your husband or wife knowing that you waited.2
9.Over 80% of teens with STDs show no symptoms and therefore never get medical attention - leaving them exposed to the risk of serious complications years later.3
10.Individuals who delay sexual activity until they are married have greater self-esteem, enjoy a higher standard of living, and are more likely to experience a happy marriage.4
