What sexual concerns do you hear most from teens?
You know, it's very hard to distill these issues down to giant thematics, other than to say that the males tend to be most concerned with their functioning and their adequacy. Females tend to be most concerned with the interpersonal functioning, their relationships. And what's distressing most to me is that the males are worried about the males, worried about themselves and the females are also worried about the males because there's nowhere they can get information that helps them understand how males function. So it's always confusing to them how the males can operate, how they can share something and not have a similar experience because the men's biology is so different and there is very little information for them about that.
What are the most common teen sex 'myth' interpretations?
What is shrouded in myth is, "what is virginity?" That's the thing that goes around all the time. Young people have lost, have completely lost track of the idea that virginity was really meant to maintain chastity, and it's not a technicality about some plane being violated. So they'll have oral sex, anal sex, you know, everything else, but they won't have genital intercourse, that therefore they are a virgin. I'm not sure that's what Jesus had in mind. I'm not sure that's what Moses was thinking, either.
