Last week was Sexual Health Week, so after much discussion and deliberation, we decided to do an episode on this subject.

We know some people don’t want to discuss sex and teenagers. If that’s you, please don’t listen to this episode because we don’t want to offend anyone.

Many people start to explore their sexuality at some point during their teenage years. We start to become aware our attraction to others and begin thinking about having sex for the first time.

But how do you decided when to have sex or when not to have sex? And how can you keep yourself safe in this area of your life?

In this episode of The Unstoppable Teen Podcast Kevin responds to a question from Kiera (Albany, NY). She told us that her boyfriend had been pressuring her to have sex, but she didn’t feel ready yet.

Listen now to hear what Kevin had to say on this important subject that affects us all.

“All to often teenagers start experimenting with sex before they have educated themselves in this important area of life – That’s dangerous.”
Kevin Mincher – Teen Coach
