Sex

The Invisible Woman by Sherry F. Colb

Then, as a freshman, I attended a pro-life film featuring young women who spoke about boyfriends or older family members who had pressured them to have their abortions. Later, these women found themselves filled with sadness and remorse, emotions that led them to join the pro-life movement. After watching the testimony of these girls, I returned to my dormitory and asked the boy I was dating what he would do if I became pregnant and chose not to abort. Without any hesitation, he said that he would leave me.

Hoping to Teach Joy by Anne Regentin

The most disturbing trend to me is a tendency toward not merely loveless but pleasureless sex among teens. Taught only guilt, fear and plumbing, they give in to their urges, but without joy. I've read too many stories about obligatory blowjobs that neither the giver nor the receiver care about and unprotected anal sex as a way of preserving a girl's virginity and preventing pregnancy. I've read about boys and girls having sex because it's expected of them, sex that nobody wants. Their risk of exposure to HIV is rising. Our fear-based sex education has produced a sub-culture in which sex is merely a drive, and this combined with unsafe sex is a deadly cocktail. I want so much more for him than that.
