The information in this website is generating a variety of reactions from its readers. Some are grateful for the knowledge that enables them to make more informed choices for themselves and/or better educate their children. Others are scared, sad, or angry that they didn't have this information sooner. And there are those who would prefer that we not share this message at all.

The purpose of this website is to disseminate medically accurate and timely news and support for people who are concerned about the sexual health of our young people. While research results often depend on the particular study being cited, one finding holds constant: saving sexual intimacy for marriage is the healthiest choice for teens: physically, emotionally, and mentally.

We believe that promoting anything less is dangerous and unethical.
