Lets get Physical.....

Teenagers experience a lot of changes when when growing up. Whether it be physically(can you say puberty), emotionally, mentally and of course mentally. And no I am not talking about Olivia Newton John century old hit of the same name, but rather about teens and S.E.X

I was reading a newspaper the other day and I came upon a very interesting yet equally surprsing survey. The main subject was that 39% of young people between the ages of 12-22 are already engaging in regular sexual activities. It was interesting because after spending some time reading the article I was asking myself, who does these surveys and how do I know if its factual rather than pure assumption.

That aside I was astonished to discover that teens aged 12 are already greasing the sheets. I mean don't you have to go through puberty before making the decision of losing your virginity whether you male of female. And why is it  if kids young as 12 are already doing the deed that parents keep behaving that you have committed an unforgiveable sin if you decide to start shagging.

Lets face it, sex is one of the most natural things you will ever do in this earth. I grew thinking it was wrong, unnatural and should not been done. But I went in to learn it's the best thing any young man or woman should experience bofore the grim reaper has its way with you. Parents should should make the hard choice and talk to their children about the truths and myths of sexual intercourse(when they old enough of course).
These days with internet, wap enabled cellphones and the Bold and the Beautiful, sex is everywhere. Now if rather than spending your energy trying to talk your kids out of it, tell them its natural and highlight the dangers it comes with having sex.

With anything enjoyable as that comes responsibility.

HIV/Aids is a reality yes, but so are those 3 letters than most adults would like to avoid. I am not a sex expert(not that i believe in them) but if young teens especially, need to be are educated about these things so they will make informed decisions about these things. Just look at Eve, she was told not to eat fruit from the forbidden tree, but she took a bit at thar apple faster than you could say temptation.

I personally think that sexual intercourse has encountered this negative rap because people refuse to talk about it. It's better your teenage son or daughter to hear things from you rather than a slutty or bastard friend.

Greasing the sheets should not be an embarassment, but rather the pleasant experience it is.
