Teens want more sex

With society being more liberated than before, everyone has become open about sex. And so have teenagers. Teenagers are usually more influenced by peer pressure than parents. They are more vulnerable. In a recent survey conducted by Australian Research Centre for Sex, Health and Society, at La Trobe University, found that “One third of Aussie teenagers have confessed that they have experienced unwanted sex.”
This survey involved 2926 students from 105 schools in state and private schools.

Overall, 25% of year 10 students, and more than 50% of year 12 students, said they had had intercourse. “Average age of the year 10 students was 15 and the year 12s was usually 17” said Professor Smith. 90% of teenagers who were sexually active indicated they wanted to have sex.

This survey also indicated healthy awareness of safe-sex messages in teenagers. They used condoms and contraceptives for safer sex. They were not embarrassed about asking for information about sex. 56% of girls and boys said that their main source of information was their mother.

From the abstract:

Teenagers are burdened by peer pressure. They are influenced by the way adults behave around them socially too. This survey clearly shows that sex education does help them. Teenagers, especially girls indulge in unwanted sex due to pressure from their partner or in cases where they are drunk. Teenagers have more number of sexual partners nowadays. This has underscored the need for sex education to prevent any future issues that may arise and its risks.

No doubts everyone wants sex and most of them do visit www.asureting.com regularly to find sex mates. But teens look for partners within school premises usually. It’s amazing to know the comfort level adolescents share with their mother, to understand more about sex and its risks. Today, it is essential for parents to let their children share their feeling regarding physical needs or sex. Parents can guide them and lead them to indulge in safer or protective sex. Raising fingers on sex education cannot stop teens from having sex or even being pregnant. The onus is on parents to be their foundation or first source of knowledge.
