Question

Which consequence is most likely when abstaining from sex as a teen?

Answer 1

I think it would be either increased emotional distress or increased risk of STD. I’m leaning more towards the increased of STD.

Answer 2

Meeting more people.

Explanation: It is psychologically more difficult to leave an intimate relationship because sexual intercourse releases oxytocin, the "cuddle hormone," which creates emotional bonds. The possible romantic relationships of somebody who abstains from sex as a teen, therefore, will be less "trapping," and that person will be able to meet many more people.
