Abstinence: Introduction
Decisions about sex are never easy.
Abstinence
So far we have been looking at human sexuality from an objective perspective. However, one's sexuality is a very personal matter. Decisions about sex, contraception, and sexual conduct must be based on factual knowledge along with one's own values and goals. In the 1960s the movement towards sexual freedom resulted in earlier sexual activity for young people, with a variety of personal and societal consequences. Today, some groups feel that the decision for abstinence will result in positive outcomes for society and the individual. This is a decision that will ultimately be up to you. How will you decide?
