Of course, if you don't have sex when you're 16, you're more likely to develop sexual dysfunction (and related psychological difficulties) later in life. Especially if you're a girl.

"Our results do not allow for causal interpretations," the study authors write.

Did you miss this line from the article you linked to?

It's not at all "proved" that a later initiatiation of sexual behavior will result in dysfunctions. In fact, it seems to me more probable that

In other words, it's not B tends to cause C, it's A tends to cause both B and C.

I do think that we tend to get married at too late an age in our society. I didn't marry util I was 37 and my husband 38. That's not ideal: I wish we had met when we were 10 - 15 years younger. But I still am convinced that at whatever age, the most healthy thing, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritual, is to abstain from intercourse until marriage.

The Sex Positive Agenda pays for all sorts of studies. In the end, the Sex Positive proponents (Reich, Kinsey, feminists) see sexual activity as a birthright that everyone including kids should be engaged in.

They seek to end all moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, number, relation, marital status, or species of partner(s). They may fund a study every now and then to suggest a genetic origin for homosexuality but in the end, it matters not to them. They want an end to all moral judgements. If you want to “do it”, you should be permitted to at any age without any impact.

They oppose abstinence in schools not because “it doesn’t work” but like advised a homosexual to “resist the urge”, they consider abstinence an unhealthy supression of sexual desire. They seek to see EVERYONE sexually active including kids.

Check out http://www.positive.org and their “just say yes” campaign. There are plenty of “health services” officials who support this agenda. It isn’t just the star quarterback pressuring girls to have sex. It is the liberal platform.

How healthy can it be for girls to use hormonal birth control right at the moment in life when puberty is putting their bodies through hormonal changes that will affect them the rest of their lives?

How healthy can it be to catch STDs that can ruin their reproductive capabilities before they’ve even been in one committed relationship?
