There are two critical points about the abstinence philosophy. First, this philosophy is based on the belief that sex is wonderful, but in the right context. It states that the best way to ensure a loving and satisfying sex life is to delay it until involvement in a lifelong monogamous committed relationship, such as marriage. It empowers teens to say YES to building stronger physical and emotional health and building self-esteem. Dealing with sexual pressure is a challenge.
Sexual pressure can take many forms.
Anytime someone tries to get you to do something sexually that you do not want to do, he or she is exerting sexual pressure. All sexual pressure is inappropriate. If it makes you uncomfortable, it is wrong. The best approach is to be straight forward and direct, setting your limits early will help you avoid trouble later. Just as you would practice a speech, you should practice what you'll say when confronted with a sexual situation.
