What’s the rush?

Deciding to have sex is a big step. Before you make that choice you need to put a lot of thought into it. Yes, even more thought than what you decided to wear today! A part of growing up is learning how to make good decisions. Good decisions are usually based on more than your gut feeling. They begin with information and end with your feelings. How you carry out these decisions depends on your level of self-control and shouldn’t be based on your emotions. Self-control is a key to how you handle things in your life. It is a characteristic that takes practice and must be re-enforced. You practice self-control when you learn to not hit others when they make you angry and when you resist the urge to kick it with your friends when you know you have to go to work. The same practice needs to be applied when you are tempted to have sex.

You control your sexuality, it doesn’t control you. Abstinence Requires Self-control.
