Sex & religion
Respect your own feelings and beliefs.
- Your religion and what you believe can be an important part of your feelings about sex and sexuality. You might also be influenced by your family's opinion and the community you live in.
- Respect your own feelings and beliefs. If you're not ready to have sex, don't do it.
- The most important thing to remember is that you should respect your partner and feel responsible and mature enough to make any important decisions about sex.
- No matter if you decide that religion should influence your decision about sex and sexuality or not, it's important to remember that the choice is yours. Made the choice when you feel ready.
- Every religion has its opinion about what's right and wrong when it comes to sex. If you feel unsure about what's right for you then talk to your religious leaders (a priest, minister, vicar and so on). They can advice you on the choices you're making.
