[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m now a med student who isn’t really religious but it really helped put into perspective different life experiences. I also echo the protective factor- I never really drank all through college and married young to a wonderful man as a virgin. At clinics now when I see the extent of STIs I’m sooo happy I was involved in these groups as a teenager. I don’t fully agree with purity messaging but hey, I’m not upset with how that worked out for me.[/quote]

The irony here is rich... different life experiences and then associating being in a religious group with staying STI free.

Grew up an atheist teen. Didn't have sex until nearly 19. STI free still in my mid 30s.

Being more religious is correlated with higher teen birth rates - and it isn't the outcome of them just having less abortions. Religious kids are still being reckless kids... They just don't use protection when they do it.
