7. Avoid stimulating environments. Stay away from sexually
explicit lyrics and themes in music, dancing, movies, television and books.
8. Plan ahead. Know
where you are going on your date, what you will do, and when you’ll be
home. Lack of plans lead to boredom—boredom can lead to sex.
9. Break off the relationship. If consistent pressure is being applied to give in to sex, you may need to end the relationship.
10. Wait to date. Various studies show the younger the age of onset for dating, the younger the age for the first sexual encounter.
11. Date someone your own age. A young adolescent who dates someone several years older can be more easily manipulated and pressured into having sex.
12. Be friends first. Concentrate on establishing a friendship and get to know each other as individuals rather than focusing on physical attraction.
