Observations

Many people who complete this survey discover that they are quite concerned about the risk of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and their sexual partner's long-term commitment. Perhaps your responses express some of these same concerns.

It is possible to avoid the risks of sex without sacrificing the benefits of romantic relationships. In fact, many people find that their own enjoyment in dating relationships is increased when sex is placed off-limits--resevered for permanent relationships.

Beyond freedom from worry about pregnancy and disease, there are other benefits. Some people find that their boyfriend or girlfriend shows more interest in their personality and feelings, and that less emphasis is placed on their bodies. There is greater respect, greater confidence and less pressure to prove commitment through physical contact.

Relationships that don't work out have an oppotunity to end gracefully, and those that endure develop a strong foundation for marital friendship, commitment, and a truly safe and satisfying sexual expression.
