Abstinence, Safe Sex, and Making Informed Decisions

Question 3 • CA-Contemporary Health

Which is an important consideration that a teen should think about before agreeing to have sex?

Answer
A
Sex can have negative health consequences.
B
A woman’s menstrual cycle usually comes once a month.
C
Condoms are an inexpensive barrier birth control method.
D
Sex is something that happens eventually.

Explanation

Before agreeing to have sex, a teen should consider possible health consequences, including sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. The menstrual cycle fact in B and the cost and function of condoms in C may be relevant information, but neither addresses the broad personal and health risks as directly as A. D is not a good reason to have sex; it should be a voluntary, informed decision.
