Sex reason 4

Reason teens have sex 4: Girls have sex to keep their boyfriend.

My response to this reason...

First, is this reason based in reality? Will he really leave you? Has he told you so?

If so, do you really want to be with a guy who blackmails you? Who is emotionally abusive? Who doesn't respect your opinions? Who is totally selfish?
Is that a good reason to have sex? Really?

Do you want to reward this demanding behaviour? Will you do so again when he asks you to do other things that you're uncomfortable with? Do you want to base your relationship in giving into his demands at the cost of your own wants?

Perhaps this reason says more about the guy and your relationship, then your readiness to have sex...

While I appreciate that this isn't the best reason to sleep with someone I think that you don't quite understand how difficult that situation would be for that girl. (Which is fair enough, you're not a girl nor have you been in the situation).
It's not as easy as just waking up and realising that if he's going to break up with you he's not worth it.

I never said that living out any of these responses was going to be easy. It's not. If it was, then a lot more people would be making wiser choices.

Actually, it's one of the reasons that i get annoyed when i hear that Christianity is for weak minded people.

Want to make a strong decision? Be a virgin on your wedding night...
