QUOTE : Modern sex education has focused on the physical risks of sex, almost completely ignoring its influence on emotional and spiritual well-being. And research reveals that despite the bold promises of Sex and the City, young women experience most of the emotional fallout of our culture’s “relaxed” sexual ethic. Whereas young men’s emotional well-being seems almost unaffected by their sexual conquests, young women experience a close connection between sexual experience and poorer emotional health.
