NOT EVERYONE IS DOING IT!
Our culture tells us that everyone is having s*x, creating pressure to be s*xually active. But the truth is that many people are choosing not to be s*xually active. In 2023, only 32% of high school students reported participating in s*xual in*******se. Over 60% of students are refraining from s*xual activity.
People choose abstinence for many reasons including personal, emotional, religious, and health reasons. Engaging in s*xual activity with multiple partners or outside of a committed relationship increases your risks of exposure to s*xually transmitted diseases and other health concerns, as well as unplanned pregnancy.
Abstinence outside of marriage is not old fashioned. With the rise of STIs and STDs, it is still a wise choice to protect your health.
Whatever choices you make, it is essential that you are well informed and understand what is normal and healthy for your body. We offer accurate and informative women's health education and STI testing.
