Dating Rules for guys!

 

Respect your date by being intentional about dating and not leading her on. Do you just want sex, or do you really want to build a relationship? Set your dating boundaries before you are in a relationship. When you start dating, communicate your boundaries to your date and then DON'T cross the line. Don't think condoms or birth control will protect you; abstinence is your best protection against STDs, HIV, pregnancy and child support.

Two Teens

Don't mess with your future. Realize “no” means NO! There are multiple levels of sexual assault from first to fifth degree. Fifth degree sexual assault is inappropriately touching a girl with all her clothes on. If you violate someone, you can land in prison for 3-20 years depending on the situation.

Guys can also be victims. Avoid situations where you could be wrongly accused of inappropriate behavior.

Before you hit send-
Consider this:

Sexting is sending nude or sexually suggestive photos, videos or messages via cell phone.

Sexting is treated the same as child pornography in most states. Distribution and possession of child pornography is a federal offense. Teens can be labeled sex offenders and treated as felons for sexting.

TextingPhillip Alpert, who sent a nude photo of his girlfriend to her family and friends after an argument, was convicted of sending child pornography, sentenced to five years of probation and labeled a sex offender until he's 41. Jessica Logan wasn't so lucky. Her boyfriend sent nude photos she had sent him to teens in several different school. After months of teasing and ridicule, she committed suicide.

Once a photo or message is sent, there is no guarantee it won't end up online where it is impossible to control who sees or uses it.

An act that takes just seconds can have life-long impact. Think before you text.

Sense & Sexuality

Here's what a few students had to say after reading Sense & Sexuality…

“The reason some abstinence-minded college women start to stumble is their lack of knowledge. This pamphlet assists in reinforcing the belief of waiting to have sex ‘til marriage. It gave my friends and me new talking points when discussing abstinence with our peers.”

“Sense and Sexuality is so informative. It would have helped a lot had I known about it sooner.”
