YOUTH SEXUALITY MYTHS

YOUTH SEXUALITY MYTHS

Practice makes perfect

Many of our youth, especially boys, fool themselves with this assertion. Some have been told that one needs experience as far as preparation for sex in marriage is concerned. In other cultures, one also has to prove the ability to father or conceive a child before entering into marriage.

For some; they have been told that premarital sex provides opportunities to learn more about techniques, tastes and preferences on sex. In addition some engage in premarital sex as a way of experimentation and adventure. Some girls are fooled to think that; the more sexual experience women have prior to marriage, the more they are likely to experience full orgasm during intercourse in marriage.

Sex is not really about experience because any human being of any shape and size can mate successfully provided they have the proper equipment and the opportunity for sex. Sexual and emotional intimacy is a matter of personal commitment. The crucial factor in sexual compatibility is psychological and not anatomical and physiological. Therefore there must be no fear in youths which will lead them to try and experiment with sex.

It is a fact that seeing sex with ‘practice makes perfect’ lenses tends to lead to promiscuity and increase the risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases. Relationships should not be overdriven by sex.  Having sexual relations with someone prior to marriage is an act of immaturity. In such an arrangement there is no commitment and living together without commitment is a difficult trap which is difficult to break.
