A Common Mistake

Seven Lies
Lie #1: Sex creates intimacy.
Lie #2: Starting sex early in a relationship will help you get to know one another and enhance your relationship later.
Lie #3: Sex without long-term commitment is fun and freeing.
Lie #4: If you aren't sexually active, you must be repressed, sick or a prude.
Lie #5: Sex is freedom.
Lie #6: This is the 20th century! How can God say that sex outside of marriage is still wrong?
Lie #7: You can't prove waiting is best. Maybe it's best to take what I can while I can.

You Can Take Control
1. Be wise, not naive.
2. Accept the fact that complete satisfaction has to wait.
3. Value your future mate now.
4. Set your standards high.
5. Guard your commitments carefully.
6. Help each other stay true.
7. Keep in mind that men and women respond differently to sexual stimulation.
8. Don't let feelings guide your sexual behavior.
