Sex reason 5

Reason teens have sex #5 - The desire for connection and intimacy.

This reason actually bothers me because it makes more sense than any of the others, but...

Response -

Desiring close connections and intimacy with others is a natural, healthy thing to want. But, you can achieve this though more than just a physical act.

As a means to an end, the sense of intimacy with your partner will be increased if you sleep with them. This is how it was designed to work.

Having sex is the most intimate, naked, vulnerable thing that two people can do together. Sex was created to join two people, beyond physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Sex is way beyond a bodily function that involves a few people.

Your connection with the person you sleep with will increase. Your relationship will change. Things will (or at least should) get much deeper.

Unless you have a solid foundation to base this increased intimacy, then your relationship will be thrown off balance.

You will be as close as two people can be physically, but still way behind in other areas (such as emotionally).

Is it a wise choice to make this huge step now? Do you both want to take this step into a deeper level?
