So, you want to know about sex . . .

Good! Sex is meant to be talked about in an open and honest setting.

Now . . . do you want to have great sex?

If you answered yes (and hopefully you know that you deserve nothing less), here’s the secret. It all boils down to one word: CONTEXT.

Think about it: most people are concerned about WHEN to have sex, WHO to have sex with, and HOW to have great sex. These are all examples of context, and context makes ALL the difference.

Consider this:

Sex is like fire. Fire keeps you warm, roasts your marshmallows, and looks great in the fireplace. The trouble comes when it travels and starts to consume the house. The fire itself is never the problem: it’s the context of the fire that’s so important.

So, what is great sex?

Great sex is uninfected sex.

That’s a no-brainer! It makes sense that great sex won’t give you an infection.

Talk to anyone who has contracted a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI):

Do they feel differently about that sexual encounter and that person? You bet!

So, the next logical question is . . .

How do I stay uninfected?

On a scale from 1 to 10, how strongly do you feel about remaining uninfected? Most people would say “10 out of 10: I don’t want an STI at all!” If that’s you, consider your options. There is only one 10-out-of-10, foolproof way of preventing STIs. What is it? Abstinence.

What is abstinence?

Abstinence quite simply means waiting to have sex. Now, a lot of people will be tempted to cut right to the other options. After all, aren’t condoms just as effective?

Check for yourself: Do condoms claim to protect you every time? Make no mistake: individuals should use condoms if they choose to have sex. But the harsh reality is that the more partners you have, the greater your risk of contracting an STI—even with a condom. This health risk is worth taking seriously: it’s your health, your body, your emotions, your reputation, and even your life that’s at stake. What are you willing to risk?

Great sex is prepared sex.

Another major thing to consider is pregnancy. It’s not rocket science, but teens and adults are still often shocked by an unplanned pregnancy. The truth is that any time a female has sex, there’s a risk. So ask yourself: Do you and your partner want a pregnancy? Are you prepared for the way it would change both of your lives? Do birth control pills and other contraceptives claim to work 100% of the time? If not, is a less than foolproof plan good enough for you? Are you prepared to take that risk?

By answering these questions, you’ve started to identify your values about sex. It’s important to make value-based decisions in life, especially where sex is concerned.
