For a decade, the legislative push for "abstinence only" sex education has suggested that nonmarital sex negatively affects a teen's mental health. But a new study shows that the negative mental side effects of a teen's loss of virginity are confined to a small proportion of those who have sex -- specifically, young girls and both boys and girls who have sex earlier than their peers and whose relationships are uncommitted and ultimately fall apart.

If you're trying to get people to talk about their first times and how badly it fucked them up, it's not gonna happen.

Nice, Lexie :D

As for the study - doesn't seem surprising to me, and it's certainly not the first study to show that 'abstinence only' isn't a great plan.

It does me more annoyed with the jackholes who push for 'abstinence only', rather than comprehensive sex-ed which includes abstinence as a suggestion, because, although nonmarital sex may not affect teens' mental health, having kids or becoming infertile because of an STD probably will.

Jesus always works hard, never complains, and never calls in sick.
