study<\/a> of 1659 same-sex sibling pairs (so that socio-cultural and economic factors could be ruled out as much as possible), who were monitored from age 16 to 29. The study had more than 3300 subjects in total, and its aim was to determine how the loss of virginity affects their later adult life.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe participants were split into three categories: those who lost their virginity before age 15, in between 15 and 19, and after age 19. Various indicators of their achievements were later compared to see how the age of virginity loss affected them in their young adult lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results showed that subjects who lost their virginity after the age of 19 mostly had much more satisfying social and romantic relationships than those in the other two categories. The study took into account other factors such as genetics, environment, physical attractiveness, religiosity, income; isolating them and showing that the results were well linked to the issue of age of virginity loss. A slightly higher level of academic and professional success was also found in this category compared to the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the researchers, several reasons may explain this relationship between the age of virginity loss and the \u201cdegree of happiness achieved\u201d afterwards. One of the possibilities, as suggested by scientists, is that some of those who have their first sexual relations when they are older than others do so because they are more demanding in relation to their partners and themselves. They are able to ignore the bad influences of others and aim for greater goals in the longer term. The opposite is true with \u201chorny\u201d teens who say yes to anything as a game or under the influence of peers, and only live for the immediate reward, not seeing the greater reward in the longer term. They lack self-control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Others say that the opposite could be the reason, namely that losing one’s virginity late affects a person’s attitude in their relationships with others. Here, not having had to deal with a low-quality relationship as a teenager is what makes them less likely to expect the same dysfunctional behaviors in their future relationships and less likely to tolerate them when choosing a partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Harden concludes that \u201cindividuals who explore their first intimate relationships as adults, after they have developed sufficient emotional and cognitive maturity, can learn many more effective soft skills from these relationships. In contrast, individuals who had these sexual experiences as adolescents generally find this more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In previous, less rigorous studies, the opposite of what has been demonstrated today was often believed. Unfortunately, most of society today often believes that \u201cletting kids live and explore their sexuality\u201d in adolescence is a good thing. They are very wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Science shows us that what morality has been telling us for a long time is indeed true: adolescent sexual relations are not recommended for the best development of the human being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parents, next time your teenagers ask to “sleep over” at a friend’s house, or wish to invite a member of the opposite sex over so they can \u201cstudy together\u201d, keep in mind this complete study. It will help support your decision to say “no” to them; because you want what’s best for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
