    About this ebook

    The goal of this book is to refute the social pressures to rush into sexual relationships. It is to negate the hype and illusions of sex, and to explore and provide a rationale that strengthens resolve to wait - to wait until the time, the circumstances, the emotions, the psychology and the spiritual factors are all aligned. It is to help young adults avoid society's "Sex Trap."
    A study was released that compared married couples who had premarital sex, with those who waited until they were married to consummate their relationship. The study found that those who waited for marriage had clearly higher advantages in their marriages: these couples had significantly higher relationship stability, significantly higher relationship satisfaction, significantly higher communication between them, and significantly higher "better sex" (i.e., a better quality of their sexual intimacy and their sexual relationship.) On all four points in the study, clearly, those who waited for sex until marriage demonstrated better outcomes - significantly so.
    One of the general findings about sex, although little attention has been paid to it, is that "sex is a distraction of life." Millions have found that their goals of life - careers, education, or other goals were interrupted because of sex. In fact, many have found that their sexual thoughts and desires overwhelmed their life goals and interfered with them in time, energy and resources.
    Please have an open mind in reading this book. The material is as significant and critical as any other issue or topic can possibly be. Sex is a life choice. As with all choices it can be positive - and it can be very, very damaging.

We are interested in helping YOU enhance the quality of your life. For each phase of life you enter, the quality of your life should strengthen, not weaken. It should increase, not decrease. It should expand the positive features and attributes of your life, not shrink or contract them. This book is about helping everyone find the path to a better Quality of Life. We, at TeenSoulPower, want to help you to identify what makes a happy and healthy life. More importantly, we want to help you to make a fulfilling life. Most of us think we know how to do this, but the truth is that if you do not know how then your life is in free-float. It is moving ahead - but may not be making any progress. In fact, your life may even be headed in the wrong direction! Your life can be "free floating", aimless, drifting, with neither rhyme nor reason, with neither purpose nor goals, set adrift and vulnerable to the whims of fate instead of the destiny you were designed for. We at TeenSoulPower are dedicated to helping people find a road map to a better Quality of Life with advice, guidance and support to help young adults avoid the unnecessary pitfalls of life and to maximize their potential for a fulfilling and successful life experience and life journey. Life can be a beautiful journey, but sometimes we need a little help along the way.

      About TeenSoulPower

      ATTENTION:

      Do not have sex unless you are in a committed, monogamous, marriage.

      This is tradition.

      This is morality.

      This is wisdom.

      This is the entire book in just one sentence.

      "You can’t remember sex.

      You can remember the fact of it,

      and recall the setting, and even the details,

      but the sex of the sex cannot be remembered,

      the substantive truth of it, it is by nature self-erasing…

      leaving you with a silhouette that you want to fill in again."

      - E. L. Doctorow -

      A LAW OF NATURE

      One definite law of nature is that sex, by the very structure and design of nature, is for reproduction. It is a basic act by, and for, reproduction. Period. This means that the fruit of the sexual experience is not pleasure but is the gift of children, and that by the laws of nature we should know this and always be open to that gift. Pregnancy and children happen naturally - and often automatically - as an expected outcome when we engage in sexual acts.

      So many times groups and organizations try to convince us otherwise, but the truth is that sex is first and foremost for reproduction, and any attempt to interfere with that law or circumvent it - as with any of the laws of physics or other natural laws, has consequences and/or will probably fail. As they say, You can't fool Mother Nature, she always has a way of winning out.

      A study was released that compared married couples who had premarital sex, with those who waited until they were married to consummate their relationship. The study found that those who waited for marriage had clearly higher advantages in their marriages: these couples had significantly higher relationship stability, significantly higher relationship satisfaction, significantly higher communication between them, and significantly higher better sex (i.e., a better quality of their sexual intimacy and their sexual relationship.) On all four points in the study, clearly, those who waited until marriage for sex demonstrated better outcomes - significantly so.

      The good news is that fewer than half of all teens in high school have had sex. That means you are in the majority if you haven’t! And the bottom line is that you don't have to have sex, and in fact, you shouldn't have sex until you are married and ready for children and the responsibility that a committed family brings.

      As important, teens themselves report that they wish they had waited to have sex. In one study, a majority of both girls and boys who were sexually active stated that they wished they had waited. An overwhelming majority of sexually experienced teens said they wished they had waited until they were older to have had sex. They also said the advice they’d give a younger sibling or friend would be: Don’t have sex until you’re at least out of high school. This is even more pronounced among girls and young women. However, it probably should be extended as well to all young adults, in college or employed, male or female, or of any race, creed or religion.

      I love You, if said too early in a relationship is either just the

      libido talking or a lie to get a girl into bed.

      And if you hear Of course I'll still love you in the morning,

      it is either a lie to placate the girl or a poor attempt at trying

      to alleviate the girl's feeling of shame by offering reassurance

      that this was more than just about sex.

      I know, they have worked for me dozens of times."
