Sex and self-esteem.
It's been claimed many times that engaging in sexual activity makes teenagers feel bad about themselves but there’s quite a bit evidence suggesting that sexually experience adolescents over the age of 15 actually tend to have better Self esteem then their less experienced peers. When teens do feel bad about themselves for sexual reasons it tends to occur when they have coerced when before they reached puberty, when they did it as a response peer pressure or when they became sexual as a result of the effects of alcohol or drugs. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be too much of a downside in terms of psychological or physical effects.
I had many sexual experiences as a teenager my first inter-course was with my boyfriend when I was 13. He was 16 and we have a long loving intensely sexual relationship we were both curious and that seems to have absolutely no fear or self consciousness it was really beautiful time of experiencing my body is not related to his. I had a 3 year relationship with him and I ended amicably, she went away to college.
My late teens and I was very comfortable with sexuality I was married and in love at 18, so we were commutable in each others skin. She was 3 years older than me. We were very young and when we discovered each others sexually in a tent while on the side of the road. I sucked a bee-sting from her ankle and promised I’d always look after her, well 10 years together aint bad going
The testimonies I gathered along with existing research suggest that there are arguments for and against teenage intercourse. Understandably our society insists that has to be some control so that problems such as disease, sexual coercion, and unwanted teenage pregnancy can be avoided and not all teenagers are ready to take on the responsibilities that go along participating in mature, partner sex. However it's not easy to feel that one's parents, teachers, religious leaders and society at large want to suppress one’s natural overwhelming urges.
