Question

When it comes to promoting abstinence, scare tactics and threats are usually the least effective methods. what do you think are the three most persuasive reasons to abstain from sexual activity? rank them from one to three, with reasons included.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. STDs and STIs

2. Pressure/ uncomfortable with the person

3. Teen pregnancy

Explanation:

1. Without the proper education on safe sex practices, there is a very high risk of contracting a sexual transmitting disease without even knowing. Before having sex, you should be taught how to protect yourself and your partners.

2. Someone may be pressured into having sex because the other individual is persuading them to do so, not necessarily listening to what their own body is saying. The person should make sure they are ready and comfortable at all moments. Educate on consent and what it entails.

3. If teens are taught that abstinence is the only way, there will be much more teen pregnancies. They need to be educated on the ways to prevent pregnancy. The risks of having sex should be talked about with both partners before consenting.
