1. Summary
For teenagers, sex is considered an
emotionally powerful experience, combined with risks and psychological changes.
The average age of first sexual intercourse in the United States is 17.0 for
males and 17.3 for females. By the time
they are high school seniors, 66% of girls and nearly 63% of boys report they
have had intercourse. Among younger teens, the majority claim to be virgins,
and this percentage has risen over time. Factors that correlate with teen
sexual activity include:
1. Individual
2. Family
3. Community
4. Unwanted initial sexual intercourse
Besides
vaginal sex also teen oral sex. Researchers at the University of California,
San Francisco believe that some teens, and particularly girls, engage in oral
sex as a way to avoid vaginal intercourse. New York Times columnist David
Brooks has written, "Reports of an epidemic of teenage oral sex are ..
greatly exaggerated" Researchers believe that oral sex may have become
more popular than intercourse for adolescents because teens believe it carries
fewer physical and emotional risks, a claim one study supports.
2. Comment
Overall a good article, because the article
tell about the sex life among adolescents who had become a tradition. Includes
the data and the percentage who can make the contents of the article is falid.
Articles to be clear and easily understood.
Teenage
life is a crucial period of the next life. When his teenage years well then
certainly the next life will be good too. And the possibility it could happen
also on the attitude of one’s own maturity. Adolescents in this world mush be
having whose names a strong curiosity. Want to know what they do not know and
after they know about it they want to know more. That is teenager. As with want
to know what it is sex, promiscuity, drugs, etc. Most of them for the first
time just try. For further if he/she can not control it will inevitably feel
always do. As a teenager the facts exist in developed countries. Mosh of them
do things that are negative, as do free sex with a girlfriend, friend, even
with people they do not know.
Sense of their desires they can not control,
they do what they want without thinking it through again. That was proven with
the data they sexual behavior is very high. They have sex because of
individuals themselves, families, communities, the environment they live. But i
think it also depends on how we respond it. We can not have sex with a positive
thinking about what the benefits of sex (before his time), what is due to sex
and think of where the benefits and consequences of sex it self. Do not feel
ashamed for not following the trend that all people have sex like vaginal sex
or oral sex. I do not agree with the words teenagers are mostly about “the pregnancy
was easy to be prevented by using this and that”.
All these are tools and equipment that could
not function at anytime. And veryone do not know it at anytime. So although the
activists sexual use of condom was not necessarily protected from pregnancy.
Facts have to say that condoms can leak and it could result in pregnancy. After
finding out they were pregnant what they happy? Certainly not, if they were not
ready and having sex before their time. The conclusion is all that can be
avoided by never enganging in sex with the opposite sex. It should be done if
it was about time. For those who just want to try to begin to think positive to
never feel regret for life. J J
