somebody told me that sex is not good for teenagers.is this right?

Answer 1

Yes, for younger teens (average 15 and younger). I didn't think so when I was a teen ~ I started having sex when I was 13 years old. But Oprah recently did a show on young teens (very early teens and even eleven-year-olds) in some African tribe who were getting pregnant, and their bodies weren't developed enough to fully heal normally after labor, so they developed a large gaping hole for a vagina, and the smell from bleeding and infection was attracting animals to the village, so the men were putting these little girls out in a hut to be eaten alive by the animals... Very sad, Oprah is trying to do something about it. ANYWAY, during my first sexual experience when I was 13, the guy was large and it hurt so bad that I pushed him away and he didn't go all the way in. It only slightly tore my hymen--enough that I bled, but my hymen never went away. To this day, I have something called a hymenal ring, which is a tube of thick skin that connects from one wall of my vagina across to the other. I can grab it with my finger and pull it out to look at it (though it hurts to pull it out too far), and I can't wear tampons because the tube isn't connected perfectly across the center, so one side has less open space than the other, and if I accidently put the tampon in on the wrong side (and I don't know which side that is), all I know is it takes some serious maneuvering to get the damn tampon out after it expands. It's too much of a hassle. The hymenal ring doesn't affect my having sex--when the penis enters, it simply pushes the skin off to the side--it's actually not even noticable, except when my boyfriend puts his finger up there, then he can feel it. My labia are also flappier and longer than I'd like them to be, and while I've heard this is partially from genetics, I believe it's also partially from having too much sex when I was very young. Finally, I did become pregnant when I was 16 and lost the baby at 4 1/2 months, probably due to stress and resulting weight loss. I found out during an ultrasound that the baby, which was still inside me, didn't have a heartbeat anymore. It was very sad, and I had to have an induced labor (they gave me a suppository--pushed a meltable pill inside of me-- that had medicine to cause my body to have contractions and push the dead baby out). Fortunately, I was 16 and most likely healed normally after the DNC (the scraping out of remaining loose particles in the uterus they do afterward), but who knows.... I could be permanently damaged. I am 28 now and don't have any kids yet. Maybe luck.... or maybe I got started too soon and only screwed myself.
Ultimately, while a young teenage body is able to create a baby in its uterus, it is still not fully developed enough to necessarily recover from physical changes the sex causes---both life-threatening and aesthetically damaging. Enjoy the thrills of kissing instead. And if orgasm is that important, then clean hands can do wonders. Avoid oral sex until marriage because of the mass spread of herpes, HIV, and hepatitis going around these days.... you can't usually see it, you know.

Answer 2

If, by "not good for teenagers", you means is likely to cause some
sort of health problem other than the usual STDs or pregnancy, actually
early sex is probably the healthiest.

That is, you're both in better shape (no heart attacks), have a low likelihood
of disease, etc. Arguably, evolutionarily, the best time for procreation is
as soon as it is possible.

However, that has never been the problem with teenage sex.

We aren't living on the plains of Africa (well, at least I am not). The
likelihood of you picking up a disease from a given contact is pretty
low but your ability to chose good candidates that don't have
diseases is bad because it depends on experience, which you don't
have. You are more likely to pick a source of health problems than
an older person.

Your ability to handle unexpected events, such as pregnancy is
lower than later on in life because you are less likely to have your
own resources, income, etc.

Most important, however, is your ability to handle the social aspects
of sex early on. Generally, women are more climatized to sexuality
early on then men because of the continual social processing they
are exposed to growing up, but regardless, very few people can
really understand the implications of sex without having had to
earn a living or bury a friend.

They may seem unrelated, but the more "reality" you are exposed to
(vs the odd psycho sexual fun-house of high school), the more you
understand what's going on.

The more you understand, the better it will be.

In the first throws of teenagerdom, it is fully likely to be one or more
bodily organs executing their designated function. Later on, its
actually worth something beyond the moment.

If you're lucky.

Answer 3

Sex is not good if you aren't careful or responsible enough to know what the consequences of your actions may be. Are you in a committed relationship? Do you have access to reliable birth control? Are you willing to give up an education or career to raise a child? Do you understand the risks of contracting a Sexually transmitted disease? Are you willing to live the rest of your life with a disease that may kill you, or at best make your sex and social life awkward? These are all questions you need to consider before you start having sex.

Answer 4

that person was probably someone MUCH older than you, most likely a teacher or parent or someone who has forgotten what it's like to be a teenager. if you are in a good, loving, relationship that you know will only be enriched by having sex, then get it on. but please, please, please know how to protect yourself and how to say no. it all comes down to you and what you want. however, if you're 13 or under, it is illegal to have sex at all in many states. look up the legal consent laws for your state. most states' age of consent is 16. that's when it's 100% legal to have sex. unless ur having it with someone over 18. then it could be potentially dangerous for the 18 yr old. anyway, look up the laws for your state. happy humping!

Answer 5

There is some truth to that. Reason is because teenagers typically do not have their annual "exam" done because they are 1) embarassed about it, and/or 2) keeping their sexual activity secret from their parents and an appointment with the gynecologist would make it obvious. It is important that once you become sexually active you have your annual exams. They identify potential issues, i.e. STDs or precancerous cells on your cervix, and recommend the best form of "protection" for you.

Answer 6

perhaps they said it because of the awful rise in the disease called Human Pappaloma Virus (HPV). over 80% of the usa college population is infected with HPV. there are over 80 varieties of this virus. about 15 of them will most likely cause a woman to get cervical cancer, then causing her to have a uteral hysterectomy, and perhaps never getting the opportunity to have a baby. read up on it on the net and ask your gynecologist. i know of no way that a man can be tested to show whether he has active HPV, or what type(s), since you can have a large number of the different varieties of HPV, including or excluding those that cause cervical cancer. i do know that now, each time a woman, young or older, gets her Pap smear, it is run to show whether she has HPV. There are blood tests that will show which varieties of HPV you have, but try to find a doctor to run them! You must DEMAND them! Dumb, but true. You might also end up having the DNA "footprint" of HPV, which is not a sexually-transmitted disease at all (STD), but even so, that in itself can cause squamous (square-type) cells instead of rounder cells to show up in your pathology report made from your Pap smear. Those squamous cells indicate that you may come down with cervical cancer. Some women have lived until they died with such a condition, but no testing is done, obviously, since it is too dangerous to allow a woman that comes down with dysplasia on one Pap to just be viewed as a medical test. She could very well come down with cervical, then uteral/intestinal cancer! THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE HEARD THAT TEENS SHOULDN'T HAVE SEX, not only because of pregnancy issues.
