Here are some of these myths. Sex produces instant adulthood. With sex, it leads to two bad effects. It may push teenagers into situations they do not want romantic commitments, pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases. On the other hand, if teenagers feel these activities have actually made them fully mature, it may inhibit their growth and development in other areas.
Sex means love.
Young women are more likely to believe that love and sex go together. Teenagers may feel sexual advances indicate love and commitment and are very disappointed when this is not the case. Young people often believe that if you have sex with someone, he or she will be more likely to love them. While it does happen at times, it more often leads to feelings of disappointment and possibly betrayal. Many guys feel that they must take advantage of every sexual opportunity to prove their masculinity.
