Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans remain deeply ambivalent about teenage sexuality. Many presume that such uneasiness is rooted in religion. But how exactly does religion contribute to the formation of teenagers' sexual values and actions? What difference, if any, does religion make in adolescents' sexual attitudes and behaviors? Are abstinence pledges effective? What does it mean to be "emotionally ready" for sex? Who expresses regrets about their sexual activity and why? Tackling these and other questions, Forbidden Fruit tells the definitive story of the sexual values and practices of American teenagers, paying particular attention to how participating in organized religion shapes sexual decision-making. Merging analyses of three national surveys with stories drawn from interviews with over 250 teenagers across America, Mark Regnerus reviews how young people learn-and what they know-about sex from their parents, schools, peers and other sources. He examines what experiences teens profess to have had, and how they make sense of these experiences in light of their own identities as religious, moral, and responsible persons. Religion can and does matter, Regnerus finds, but religious claims are often swamped by other compelling sexual scripts. Particularly interesting is the emergence of what Regnerus calls a new middle class sexual morality which has little to do with a desire for virginity but nevertheless shuns intercourse in order to avoid risks associated with pregnancy and STDs. And strikingly, evangelical teens aren't less sexually active than their non-evangelical counterparts, they just tend to feel guiltier about it. In fact, Regnerus finds that few religious teens have internalized or are even able to articulate the sexual ethic taught by their denominations. The only-and largely ineffective-sexual message most religious teens are getting is, "Don't do it until you're married." Ultimately, Regnerus concludes, religion may influence adolescent sexual behavior, but it rarely motivates sexual decision making.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexuality is an integral part of human life and the desire to express sexuality continues throughout life, therefore it is important to establish healthy sexual practices early in the life course. Religiosity has been shown to delay sexual intercourse; however the research is not consistent on the relationship between religiosity and responsible sexual behavior after sexual intercourse has been initiated. The purpose of this study to examine the concurrent and longitudinal relationship between religiosity and responsible sexual behavior among sexually active adolescents and young adults. This study is a secondary analysis of the public-use data from Wave I and Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The sample includes 801 unmarried, sexually active respondents who participated in both Wave I and Wave III, and who were at least years old in Wave I. Religiosity is measured using three independent single measures-religious affiliation, frequency of attendance, and salience. Other covariates include demographic factors and sexual psychosocial factors. In adolescence, responsible sexual behavior is measured as contraceptive use at last sex. In young adulthood, responsible sexual behavior is measured as contraceptive use at last sex, frequency of birth control use, frequency of condom use and number of partners in the past year. It was hypothesized that adolescents and young adults who were more religious would be more likely to demonstrate responsible sexual behavior. It was also hypothesized that adolescents who are more religious would be more likely demonstrate responsible sexual behavior as young adults. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis do not support the stated hypotheses regarding the relationship between religiosity and responsible sexual behavior in adolescence or young adulthood. It seems as though sexual psychosocial factors and demographic factors may be better predictors of responsible sexual behavior. Due to the relatively high religiosity of the sample, the results suggest the unique opportunity faith based organizations have to partner with public health practitioners in the development of programs designed to address and improve adolescent and young adult sexual health.-- Abstract.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing research identified strong links between religion and marriage behaviors, but few sources have evaluated the effect of religion on marital attitudes. This study sought to examine the relationship between adolescent religious affiliation and religiosity and the age at which adolescents wish to marry. Using the National Study of Youth and Religion, results showed that Christian adolescents in America wish to marry sooner at statistically significant levels than non-Christian adolescents, and that within Christian denominations, Evangelical Protestant and Mormon adolescents wish to marry sooner than Mainline Protestants. Religiosity had a less statistically significant effect on the marital timing attitude than religious affiliation, challenging findings of some of the existing literature. A reciprocal relationship was also examined to see if being married at younger ages predicted placement in certain religious affiliations and a change in religiosity. This study contributes to existing literature on the relationship between religion and marriage and family by shedding light on effectiveness of the transmission of family values affirmed by Christian denominations to their adolescent members. These findings help better understand the increase in the age of first marriage, as fewer adolescents and young adults claim a religious affiliation, reducing the number of people that want to get married at younger ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Scientific theory is essential to research on sexuality and sexual experiences in emerging adulthood. Theory serves a number of important functions for research, including prediction and explanation. Research has often utilized theory to help enhance what we know about sexuality among those in the developmental period of emerging adulthood. In this chapter we offer a primer on theories that have been used regularly when studying sex and relationships using emerging adult samples, including Life Course Development Theory, Symbolic Interactionism, Social Exchange Theory, and The Theory of Sexual Possible Selves. At the conclusion of our discussion of these theories and their role in guiding research and explaining findings on sex and sexuality, we offer theoretical directions to enhance the rigor of the use of theory in future research on sexual experiences among emerging adults"--

Book excerpt: Religious beliefs and attitudes have long been recognized as playing an important role in sexual functioning, but the relationship between religion and sexual behavior has rarely been studied in a comprehensive way. The essays in this volume bring the views of sex counsellors, therapists. theologians, and bioethicists to bear on the relationship between religion and sexuality. A major theme emerging from these essays is that religion and counselling need to learn from one another. Religious traditions, at the popular or theological levels, are often marked by ignorance and misinformation about sexuality and can benefit by the insights of those who work closely with patients in medical and counselling settings. Counsellors, in turn, need to develop a sensitivity to past and present religious attitudes toward sexuality in order to assist their patients achieve sexual health.
