Couples who engage in sex before marriage are far more likely to divorce. According to a study by the National Survey of Family Growth, women who have premarital sex increase their odds of divorce by about 60 percent. In a study on premarital sex and the risk of divorce, the Journal of Marriage and the Family reported that those women who had been sexually active prior to marriage faced "a considerably higher risk of marital disruption than women who were virgin brides." (Joan R. Kahn and Kathryn A. London, "Premarital Sex and the Risk of Divorce," Journal of Marriage and the Family, 53 (1991)
Statistically, the more sexually involved you are BEFORE marriage, the more likely you are to commit adultery AFTER marriage." (Andrew M. Greeley, Faithful Attraction: Discovering Intimacy, Love and Fidelity in American Marriage (New York: Tom Doherty Associates, 1991).
DISEASE FACTS
In 1995, the Department of Health and Human Services found that 50 percent of young women and 55 percent of young men (ages 15-19) reported being "sexually active."
Every year, three million young people are infected with one of 60-odd sexually transmittable diseases (STDs). According to the Western Journal of Nursing Research, "because of the high incidence of STDs among adolescents, they are more likely to have sexual partners with an STD... even if the adolescent has had only one partner." Left untreated, these diseases can lead to severe health problems, including infertility.
Females who have slept with three or more people over a lifetime are 15 times more likely to get cervical cancer.
In 1995, the Centers for Disease Control announced that AIDS had become the leading cause of death among 25-44 year olds in the U.S.
56 million Americans--one out of every five are suffering from incurable viruses. Even more have bacterial and fungal infections that cause infertility and other physical problems. Another sad toll - 1.5 million babies are aborted each year.
Approximately one out of four women have been infected with the genital herpes virus. Unbelievably, 46 percent of black women (almost 1 in 2) and 18 percent of white women (almost 1 in 5) carry this infection. A study of sexually active college women showed that in one three-year period, 43 percent acquired the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes warts and in some, cervical cancer. The disease kills nearly as many women each year as AIDS. In addition, 60 percent of the women suffering from HPV were infected sometime during their college years.
When women depend on condoms as contraception, there is a 10%-20% chance of becoming pregnant every year. Now pregnancy can only occur in one 24-hour period each month. If a female has that high of a chance of getting pregnant, how high is her chance of getting a sexually transmitted disease that she can contract every day of the year?
What about having anal or oral sex? While you can't get pregnant this way, you can still give and contract sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). STDs can be easily spread through the membranes in the mouth and anus. In fact, some organisms, such as HIV, are much more easily spread through anal intercourse.
An estimated 10 to 15 percent of couples, (about 10 million people), suffer from infertility. (have difficulty conceiving) A significant number (but not all) of these infertility problems are a direct consequence of sexually transmitted diseases from sex before marriage.
