Do you feel pressure to be promiscuous?
Peer pressure will always exist and especially when it comes to sex, it's not uncommon for friends to lay it on thick.
Take our poll and tell us: do you feel pressure to become sexually active?
Matilda what are you on? As a Christian they don't pressure us to stay virgins the show us why it's better to wait. In a world where teenage pregnancy and STD is on the rise younger people need to be pushed to stay a vrigin/celibate.
After looking at all the comments, I think the real problem with peer pressure is not to be promiscuous, it's to remain a virgin. You don't seem to understand that peer pressure is bad either direction. Stop pressuring your relatives and friends to stay virgins!
I'm 19 and still a virgin. I don't feel pressure from my friends, it's more my boyfriend of 5 years. He never once asked for it or pressured me but I feel like if I don't eventually, he'll either cheat on me or leave me.
Im 19 years old, and a virgin. Most of the people I know and meet dont even believe im a virgin because of the way i look. If your pretty or 'hot' automatically people assume that your sexually active.. which isnt fair. I've dated plenty of steady guys and either been cheated on because i wouldnt sleep with them, or treated like crap by them. Why would anyone want to sleep with someone and lose their virginity to a guy that doesnt treat you right? My views on sex are that if you love someone and feel its right.. no one should hold that against you. I dont know yet if i want to wait untill marriage or not but I want to be with someone who actually loves me first. Another factor is knowing that most of the guys have slept with people before, finding a guy who is a virgin to me is basically mission impossible. Is it fair that ive waited this long to sleep with someone and sleep with a guy who hasent ever held back in his life? Girls are losing their virginity younger maybe because they want to lose it to someone who has equal experience and not someone later down the road whos been around the block and back. Dont judge good looking girls by their cover, you might find one like me.. but of course you'd never know unless you took the time. Thats my opinion.. xo
I know that a lot of girls feel pressured to have sex, but I tend to ignore those pressures. I will be 19 in a month and I've been with my boyfriend for over 3 years now. We are both virgins. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I think that it will be very special when we get married and give ourselves to each other. When my boyfriend and I are together we have such different conversations from our other friends who are in relationships. And it's not all about having sex. We basically just like having the company of each other, and someday we will reach the point were we are ready to have sex. It's just not for us right now. We are at different colleges, and want to be able to finish college without the added stress of me possibly being pregnant and all that. It's not that we don't want to have sex it's just that we are both not ready to go through with it. We are not at the maturity levels that we need be. We don't listen to those who try to pressure us. It's something that's between us and it's something that we need to agree on together. We make our own decisions and listen to out hearts' desires.
I never do. I have seen the negative effects of my close friends who have been pressured and know the possible results.
Pressured for sex i never feel that! im a very attractive young woman and alot now i'm talkin' ALOT of guys try to get with me and have talked to me just to try to get with me and I i just tell them to step off cause if I wanted you trust me you would know m'kay!
I have a friend that had sex with my ex-boyfriend. She was 13 and he was 14 (barely) and after they had sex he relised that he wasn't happy with her and because I can't stand that friend's trash talking, I chose him. And because her mom knows that I still like the guy and he likes me she asked if I was pregnant the other day. I wish people would stop dragging me into their problems with other people.
I'm sixteen at the moment and I lost my virginity very recently, last Monday to be exact. I felt no pressure from friends or people at school. It was just my boyfriend. When I would say "no" he'd continuously ask me why. So one day when his parents left us alone we went through that normal charade...but I gave in...I knew I loved him..and I wanted to give him everything..and I really want us to be together forever..but I wish that I had waited until I was absolutely ready, which I know that I definitely was not. You may think that sex will change them or make them appreciate you more, but things just stay the same. Me and the guy are still together and we still love each other and we're still as close as we were before sex. I just recommend that girls wait until THEY'RE ready, not when some stupid boy is.
I am 18 and I lost my virginity when I was just about to turn 17 to a guy who was 4 years older than me. I didn't do it because everyone else does it or becuase he wanrted it, I did it because I grew real strong feelings for him and felt like I would be with him for a long time. I don't talk to him anymore becuase he ran off nut wish I could. I hate that he didn't break me all the way threw let alone at all. I have hasd sex since then but recently haven't nor plan to. Next time I'm having sex is when I get that Grand Passion that I've been looking for!Been wanting!
I was raped back in May im so confused & lost/ im a college & don't have health insurance is their anywhere in california that I could get tested for cheap or free. I went to a local clinic & tested negative for the ref.stds, I don't know where to get tested for Herpes,I feel that im okay but what can I do to stop worrying && convincing myself that im okay. Im tired of being scared..
I am 15 years old. i made a horrible decision to have sex this year, with a boy i barely new. i was treated like dirt. i am very religious and have desided to become a born again virgin :) i think there is presure to have sex just because alot of teens around 13! and up are doing it. for people who want to be virgins and who are... two thumbs up ladies keep it going! to girls who arent virgins and regret it.. stay strong and love your self and most important forgive yourself. pray to god who is your daddy who will love you far more than any boy or man on earth ever could! keep strong ladies!!! love you lots :)
I am 19 and still a virgin and plan on staying one until I'm married. I don't feel pressured, but I do feel as if no one will ever want to be with me unless I sleep with them first. People always say the cliche "oh, if he loves you he'll wait" but for me once they even here the word "celibacy" they are already walking in the opposite direction. So even though it is a good decision and even though I'm not ashamed of it, in the end it I guess it still leaves me pretty lonely. =/
ariana, it is perfectly fine for you to ask your boyfriend to get tested !
not all teens feel pressure to have sex, i'm 18 and all of my friends have been active since they were 13. i have had chances but i just don't want to do it because i want my first time be with someone i love. (i don'thave to be married)
