- 1 out of every 4 sexually active teens contracts a sexually
transmitted disease (STD) every year.
- Today there are more than 30 STD's, and over half cannot be cured. They are life-long!
- Some STD's have no symptoms (chlamydia and HPV). They can lead ultimately to cancer, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy.
- Condoms give no protection from some STD's. Many diseases spread through skin-to- skin contact and oral genital contact.
- Condoms fail up to 44.5% of the time when used by the young and unmarried.
- Sexual active teens are 6 times more likely to attempt suicide.
Safe Sex means
Sex Saved
for Marriage!

between their health and a
deadly disease is
irresponsible. It's like telling
someone it's okay to
drink and drive as long as they
wear a seat belt."

Want to Enhance the Pleasure?
The gift of sexuality was not intended for pleasure alone.
But pleasure is enhanced when the gift of sexuality
is used according to God's plan.
God created you to be happy
with Him forever. If you follow
His laws you will ultimately find true
happiness. But the Bible warns that those who misuse the gift of sexuality "will not inherit the kingdom ofGod."
Read your Bible; begin with:
1 Cor. 6:18
Gal. 5:19-21
1 Thess. 4:3-4
Follow God's plan …
Remember God created sex and it is wonderful!
God's plan involves one man and one woman united and faithful
for life in the Sacrament of Marriage.
Sexual activity must always be an expression of married love and must be open
to the awesome gift of new Life.
Your sexuality is a profoundly powerful and beautiful gift that must
be protected by the covenant of Marriage.
Your life is precious to God. You are made in His image and likeness.
You are a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Save yourself and God's beautiful gift of sexuality for someone special-- your spouse!
Together you will find:
- Real sexual freedom (freedom from disease, fear, shame, sin, and guilt)
- The greatest pleasure (National surveys show that married, faith-filled couples say they have the best sexual experiences.)
The joy of new Life. When your children are conceived in a marriage open to Life, you will
realize our children are our greatest joy. You will cherish the awesome gift of Life!
Chastity is a virtue
The virtue of chastity is practiced in many ways:
Through self-control, control strong enough to overcome selfishness.
Through modesty in dress, in action, and in speaking when alone or with others.
Through loving other persons and respecting their bodies.
Remembering that we are all precious to God.
If someone really loves you they will behave in a chaste way.
Behaving in a chaste way means that a couple grows in trust and respect.
Real love can develop.
Chastity shows a trustworthiness that will carry over after marriage.
It is never too late to begin to live a chaste life!
Begin again today.
Ask for forgiveness in the beautiful Sacrament of Reconciliation- Confession--
and God will give you the strength to live a chaste life.
Chastity helps us on the path to happiness, both in this life
and forever in heaven!
