Love makes teen sex less academically harmful, study says

Bulls eye, couldn't agree more. Life is short, might as well enjoy and live it to the MAX but as you said keep a balance in life. Its a pure fallacy that in order to do good in life you shouldn't enjoy life, this is something that is taught to us Pakistanis from our parents but as i have grown older i realized that its not true.




Whats wrong with having a FWB , i would say in school life its best you don't tie down to one girl. How about we leave that for later part of our life

yup enjoy your life, you only get it once lol FWB is veyr tricky and can lead to some very ugly situations, rather not get indulged in all that, you dont want to be known as a man whore lol Its fun for sure, but just sex will get boring very soon. Having a GF is more about the moments you spend together, the slow dances, the cute make out sessions, the holding hands, the long drives, rather than just the sex.

I had a south Indian professor who said it best. When girls fall in love, they make it to the Dean's list. With the guys fall in love, they make it to the debarred list

Debarred list: List of students kicked off the class for falling below the minimum attendance requirement.

The concept of teen sex is very relative to the length of our education and life span, for instance in a time when there were no organized schools and 40 year life spans, teen sex was just sex . As for the study, to look at it another way, it says, if you are in a sexually active relationship, committed or not, you will suffer academically in any case, albeit less in the former.

Sex in romantic relationships is harmless

Adolescents who have sex with their romantic partners do not perform poorly in academics, found a new study.

However, the same doesn’t hold true for sexual intercourse outside of romantic relationships.

Titled, ‘Sex and School: Adolescent Sexual Intercourse and Education’, the study found that the context in which adolescent sexual activity occurs can substantially moderate the negative relationship between sexual intercourse and education.

"Compared to abstinence, sexual intercourse in committed romantic relationships is often academically harmless, whereas in other types of relationships it is more detrimental," said Bill McCarthy and Eric Grodsky, sociologists at the University of California-Davis and the University of Minnesota, respectively.

"Females and males who have sex only with romantic partners are generally similar to abstainers on most of the education measures we examined,” he added.

The study considered nine education measures—school attachment, high school GPA, college aspiration, college expectations, problems in school, ever truant, the number of days truant, school sanctions (suspended/expelled), and dropping out.

The analysis uses two waves of data from the "National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health" and the "Adolescent Health Academic Achievement Study."

Compared to abstainers who are otherwise similar to adolescents who have sex, youth who have sex only with partners with whom they are not romantically involved are at greater risk on the following measures— experiencing problems in school, being suspended or expelled, being less likely to expect to attend college, being less attached to school, and earning lower grades.

On the other hand, youth who have sex only with romantic partners are not statistically different from virgins on any of these five measures, adjusting for other characteristics of the students.

The only outcomes for which youth engaging in either type of sex are at greater risk than abstainers are truancy and, in some contexts, dropping out.

"Collectively, our results find that the detrimental outcomes commonly attributed to adolescent sexual intercourse occur mostly in non-romantic contexts. These findings raise doubts about the veracity of sexual education programs that link adolescent sex to a plethora of negative outcomes," said McCarthy and Grodsky.

The study will be presented at the 105th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association.
