Why do young people have sex?
Young people have the desire to feel grown up and peer pressure makes them anxious not to miss the “right moment”. Young people have sex maybe from a desire for intimacy or pleasure, for fun or curiosity or because of feeling in love. But often it can be for other kinds of complicated reasons. Maybe they think it is the thing to do, or feel pressure from friends or the media or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Girls can end up having sex simply because they are unable to say “No”, are afraid to lose their partner or, want to please their boyfriend. Boys can do it just to boost their sense of value to other boys, for a feeling of control over women or in order to please their girlfriends.
