The seductive casual sex LIES from shows like Sex and the City (and the Mass Media)
ilbe...@gmail.com
permanent STD, a fatal STD, pay for the walk in abortion murder ,
or emotional pain from an abortion due to casual sex gone further
wrong due to such shows grooming our Youth and wayward Adults to
become sexual tramps ?
Heres the truth that theyd never reveal to the masses :
The Safe Sex Lie
“Experiment and do whatever you want, but just use a condom,” is the
safe sex lie that is promoted on our schools and college campuses. The
media also promotes the notion that sex is purely recreational. The
result is that many women believe that our current “hook up” culture
is natural and even empowering to women and that love and sex are two
completely different things.
As with most lies, the whole story is not told.
Problem #1
Casual sex is not a natural part of the human make-up. Sex is a
bonding experience, and when the bond is broken by multiple partners,
the body and mind have a conflict. This conflict is caused by a
hormone called oxytocin, and this is what makes love so ecstatic but
also so hurtful. In women, oxytocin (the bonding hormone) is released
after birth and during breastfeeding. Oxytocin is what helps a woman
bond with her baby. Oxytocin is also released during orgasm in both of
the sexes. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social recognition
and bonding, and it builds trust between people. This hormone is much
stronger in women. Why is this significant? When a woman has shared
herself on an intimate level with someone, she will discover that
although she is trying to be cool about it, she has a bond with that
person that is not easily given up.
Why are we finding more and more women fighting depression, struggling
with keeping their grades up, spending time wondering if he is going
to call today, and hoping that he will ask them to go out, or to take
the “relationship” to the next level? If given the opportunity, many
women would share that they have these thoughts. Men and women are
different sexually, and this is seen physically, emotionally, and
physiologically.
Especially for women, when sexually intimate bonds are made they are
meant to be made to last a lifetime. When these bonds break, pain,
regret, desperation, and depression are often what is left behind. God
designed sex to take place within a committed marriage relationship
and in the marriage relationship oxytocin is a gift from Him. Outside
of the relationship He designed, it only adds to the heartache.
“When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone they
have had sex with for the last ten years, and everyone they and their
partners have had sex with for the last ten years.”
--C. Everett Koop (Former U.S. Surgeon General)
Problem #2
There are many serious diseases you are not protected from by wearing
a condom. Sexually Transmitted Infections such as HPV and Herpes are
transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, and not by fluid exchange. A
condom does not cover the entire genital area and these infections are
transmitted via sores or warts (which may or may not always be visible
or readily apparent) and by contact with parts of the genitals NOT
covered by the condom.
HPV stands for HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (genital warts). There are more
than 30 different known strains of HPV that are genital- many that are
potentially cancerous, and some that are direct causes of cervical
cancer, which kills 7,000 women each year. Even when the warts are
removed, the virus is still present in the body, and can be
transmitted to partners when no warts are present, causing long-term
problems. Those using condoms are still at a substantial risk of
transmitting or contracting HPV. About 20 million people, in the
United States alone, are known to carry this virus. Many others do not
know they have it.
HSV-2 (genital herpes) is one of the most common sexually transmitted
diseases in the United States, with as many as one million people in
the United States becoming infected each year. There are 45 million
people who are infected with genital herpes, one in every five. In
addition, HSV-1 (oral herpes) is carried by about one in every two
people in the United States (50%), and can be spread via oral or oral/
genital contact, creating a genital herpes infection with HSV-1.
Lesions appear at the site of infection and periodic eruptions of
painful blister and ulcers can come anywhere on the body. Herpes
symptoms and outbreaks can be reduced with medication, but the disease
still remains in the body even when treated. Like HPV, there is
currently no cure for herpes infections.
Is It Worth the Risk To You?
At the Pregnancy Care Center we feel passionate that sexual intimacy
is meant for a marriage relationship and that REAL love has the other
person’s interests, safety, and good in mind.
Remaining abstinent until marriage is the only answer for safe sex
that is really safe!
Here are some quick facts:
•Sexually Transmitted Diseases are the most common diseases in
American next to the common cold and flu.
•The estimated total number of people living in the US with a
incurable STD is over 65 million. Every year, there are approximately
9 million new cases of STDs, among 15-24 year olds. (That is nearly
25,000 a day!) In the general population there are nearly 19 million
people infected each year. (52,000 a day)
•More than 1 in 5 Americans are presently infected with an STD.
•20 different STDs are rampant among the young.
•Less than half of adults ages 18 to 44 have ever been tested for an
STD other than HIV/AIDS.
•Often, people infected with STDs do not have initial symptoms and can
transmit disease unknowingly to new partners.
•Of the STDs that are diagnosed, only some (gonorrhea, syphilis,
chlamydia, hepatitis A and B) are required to be reported to state
health departments and the CDC.
•It is estimated that as many as one in four Americans have genital
herpes, a lifelong (but manageable) infection, yet up to 90 percent of
those with herpes are unaware they have it.
•At least 15 percent of all American women who are infertile can
attribute it to tubal damage caused by pelvic inflammatory disease
(PID) , the result of an untreated STD.
•STDs often cause chronic pain and permanent damage
