Discuss the different reasons why people (particularly teens)have sex for the first time.

Interpersonal Reasons: sex can be an expression of affection and a means of communication.The majority of first sexual relationships are with a romantic partner.Individuals can experience sexual arousal and go with the flow or just be curious.Peer Pressure: Boys may have sex to prove their masculinity or heterosexuality.Girls may having trouble saying no to a boy who is older,bigger,stronger,more popular,or more powerful,or if she has been using alcohol or other drugs.Partners may feel obligated to have sex for fear of hurting their feelings or losing his or her interest.Parental Inputs: mothers who disapprove of adolescent sex,have close relationships with their daughters,and frequently talk with the parents of their daughter's friends have daughters who are more likely to delay sex.Same may be true for boys.Structural Factors: teens are more likely to engage in sex at an early age if they experience family turbulence,such as parental conflict before or during a divorce,remarriage,or redivorce; if they live with single parents who are sexually active; in cohabiting households where the adult does not have much authority; or in neighborhoods where adults who are role models don't have steady jobs and bear children out of wedlock.
