Hi ,

Kamusta ang puso mo? Does it feel neglected?

We always talk about sex in our society today but much of it is focused on the PHYSICAL consequences like dangers of pregnancy and disease but less of the EMOTIONAL dangers that comes with it. A lot of talks surrounding sex is more about normalizing it without considering the effects of it sa puso natin.

Hindi natin nafofocus na mas long term ang effect the early sexual experiences kaysa sa physical dangers of this.

Someone said “There is no condom for the heart.”

And we have to agree with that, there's a lot of psychological disaster in relation to temporary sexual relationships.

We also have a lot of mixed information out there, mostly coming from the vague explanation from our parents. Vague generalities such as, "You're too young," "You're not ready," or "You're not mature enough."

So how do we go about this? And what are the things we ought to know about the EMOTIONAL DANGERS of premature and uncommitted sex.

I don't think I ever met a student who was sorry he or she had postponed sexual activity, but I certainly met many who deeply regretted their sexual involvements. No one prepares young people for the aftereffects: the lowered self-esteem; the despairing sense of having been used; the self-contempt for being a user; the unease about having to lie about or at least conceal one's activities from family members and others; the difficulty of breaking the cycle of compulsive sexual behavior; and the self-hatred of seeking, after each break-up, someone else to seduce in order to revive one's fading self-image. No one tells young people that it sometimes takes years to recover from the effects of these sexual experiences, if one ever fully recovers."
