If girls understand that they are “worthy” then they are more likely to act in a way that demonstrates their worth and expect others to treat them with respect.

If a girl is touched in an intimate way for twenty seconds or more, her body releases a chemical called oxytocin, which helps to bond her to that other person and builds a level of trust between them.

God has designed us for intimate relationships - and the chemicals that God has designed to help build those important relationships! That’s why God designed marriage as the proper place for sexual activity - within the bounds and covenant of a life-long relationship between one man and one woman. God’s guidelines are to “limit” us, but to empower us to have meaningful and lasting relationships!

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. Learn more about it and how it is transferred.

Understanding the effects of pornography - it doesn’t appear to “cost” much at the time, but the long-term effects are far more significant than most people can imagine - sin takes you farther than you wanted to go, keeps you longer than you wanted to stay, and costs you more than you wanted to pay!

Parents, start talking to your children when they’re young about God’s design for relationships and sexuality at an age-appropriate level. Talk to your children about the incredible things that God has planned for them - if they are aiming for a goal, it’s easier to say no to small distractions that would keep us from our ultimate goal!

“We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” C.S. Lewis
