Question

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

loss of self-respect


increased emotional distress


meeting more people


increased risk of STD

Answer 1

Meeting more people.

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

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