Risky Business
Religious views on sex don’t prevent teens from having sex. Different religions have different opinions on sex, whether it be waiting till your married or just don’t do it at all, there’s a million ways to interpret it. God states that everything he created in the beginning was good. God created sex, so why is it badly viewed when people have premarital sex? It’s one of those things God created that people misrepresent. He meant for it to be within a marriage, for man and wife, and for creation so we as people could multiply and be fruitful. God said do not commit adultery, so we should not have sex outside of marriage.
Although teens might have a certain religion they believe in, and the beliefs that come along with it, do they actually abide by the rules? About 91% of teenage Americans have premarital sex, but 89% of Christian teens are having premarital sex as well. The sexual temptation remains on everybody, Christians, Catholics, and even people with no religion. Teens know what the Bible says about sex, to save it for marriage, but they might think it’s okay because it doesn’t feel wrong and you’re in love. When teens do have sex, they have a feeling of being cut off from God. Many teens feel like they’re hurting God in a way of disrespecting him after they have sex. Teens can love God and church, but fighting off the temptation seems to overwhelm them.
Some Christian teens tell themselves it’s okay I can just become a new born virgin again. They think to themselves everybody does it, or it’s no big deal. They might also say virginity is just a state of mind, or sex and love is the same thing. They might think their will can overcome any temptation, but man is known for falling into sin, especially when you are over confident about yourself. There is a curiosity factor too, the belief of staying pure only makes a Christian more curious about sex, sometimes driving them to premarital sex.
Therefore even if teens go to church, believe in God, or try to follow the rules they always seem to fall short. The temptations are too strong or they make excuses to make up for it. They think everyone is doing it, or sex is just a way to get closer to your significant other. Whether teens think they can handle the temptations, that their will can overcome anything, it seems to be proven wrong.
