Sex is a BIG step and it most often occurs throughout your teenage years or in early adulthood. In society today, sex is regarded in many ways. It is both glorified and used to sell things and get peoples attention and it is also thought of as taboo, and not talked about openly in a real way. For parents, sex is something that they don't like to think of their kids as participating in and it is hard for them when you become sexually active. Also, peer pressure can be quite upsetting as it may seem that you are being pressured into doing something you may not feel totally comfortable to deal with.

As well, everywhere you look, you see warnings and horror stories of teen pregnancy, STD's, AIDS and abortion. Put all of that on top of the fact that it is your first time experiencing sexual feelings etc. and you get one confusing and scary topic! No wonder so many teens feel frightened to address these feelings that they are experiencing and why so many of them are uniformed about sex. Hopefully, this section will help you sort out some of these complications and give you a clearer understanding of sex. Also see the sections on STD's, contraception and teen pregnancy for more information.

Can you separate sex and babies? Can you separate sex and love? Can you separate sex and marriage? These are good questions. The answer is "Yes." But consider the following:

When you separate sex from love, babies and marriage, you get prostitution. Sex without love is meaningless.

When you separate sex and babies from love and marriage, you get unwed, teenage mothers. This creates problems for the mother, the child and the people who end up supporting the mother because she cannot support herself.

When you separate sex and love from babies and marriage, you get premarital sex, recreational sex and people living together. None of this seems bad on the surface, and many teenagers you ask will say, "Go for it!" Find a person, fall in love and have sex. Adults would say there are reasons to wait, and we will talk about them in Chapter 12 and Chapter 13.

It is only when you put love, marriage, sex and babies together that you have something complete and whole and beautiful. It is pretty deep, I know. Think about it for awhile and then come back and read through this section again.

But Castleman has a blunt response. "Grow up," he says. "What's the problem with making a date for sex? People make plans for other things they enjoy, like ski trips or dinners out."

Weston agrees. "I think most people, especially couples with kids, have to plan ahead because they already have so much jammed into their schedules," she says. "Sure there are times when things spontaneously fall together, but those are happy accidents."

You may be wondering why so many teens seem to be having sex. There are many common reasons. Some teenagers have sex because:

* They want to feel accepted.
* It feels good.
* It's "cool" to have sex.
* It's easier to have sex than to talk about it or say no.
* They want to feel close to someone.
* They feel peer pressure.
* They're in love.
* They want to experiment.
* They have raging hormones.
