Teen Peer Pressure and Anal Sex

Lately, I have become a fan of Dr. Oz (www.doctoroz.com).  I believe his informative medical program is filling a void at a time when many are seeking to become healthier through simple lifestyle changes in nutrition, exercise and weight loss. Frequently his program also examines medical concerns or conditions that have in the past been considered too embarrassing or socially taboo.

His recent television show exposing teenage sexuality in its crassest form should frighten all parents and grandparents.   The frightening aspects are unwanted pregnancies and diseases that will have a lifetime impact on those who, in some cases, only engaged in a sexual act of promiscuity one time.  Whether you want to accept it or not, teenagers and many preteens are engaging in dangerous sexual practices without any knowledge of the life changing consequences that may result.

The continual practice of unprotected anal, oral, and vaginal sex practiced without regard to gender or number of participants will ultimately lead to a life time of incurable and life threatening diseases that could ultimately lead to death. America’s teenagers are engaging in these practices without regard to the consequences that may result. This is a medical and social fact that no one wants to discuss but that must be discussed.

Sexually transmitted diseases are real, but they are not new.  Hollywood promotes sexuality as being cool and liberating, and many in the world have accepted and condoned their message. Your teenage children and grandchildren have embraced the “lie” and “lifestyle” of Hollywood and are recklessly engaging in sexual practices that they have not been forewarned against.

Is this a new phenomenon that has suddenly appeared?  In a word, “NO.” Sexually transmitted diseases were known and written about thousands of years ago.  Biblical writers called them “sins” because many people of the time would not have understood the terminology and concept of virus and bacterial infections.  Most of our teenagers and to some extent their parents do not understand the dangers and have been unwilling to jointly discuss.

Although this is both a morality and public health issue, a discussion with your child should not initially be about morality but about your child’s safety and health.  This should be an open discussion and not a lecture on right and wrong.  A frank discussion about the dangers of unprotected sexual practices could make a difference in a child’s life.  Do it today!

If you have never given sexual immorality and godlessness much of a thought, consider what Paul wrote in the book of Romans (NKJV), chapter 1, verses 18-32.  Whether you will consider it or not is a decision you will have to make.

Consider if you will Paul’s words written through the inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit almost two thousand years ago.  Apparently man is not as intelligent as he considers himself given his arrogance in ignoring history.

Romans 1:18-32

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”
