I would like to take some time to investigate and converse about the issue of our youth having sex.  Why is this topic an issue?  What about our society enforces that youth having sex is wrong? Why are our tweens and teens interested or have the desire to participate in sexual activities?

I think a great place to start off is by defining sex.

What is SEX?

SEX aka sexual intercourse is defined in the dictionary as: sexual contact between individuals involving penetration.  The insertion of a man's erect penis into a woman's vagina, typically culminating in orgasm and the ejaculation of semen.

Now we also have the penetration of non-sexual organs, known as oral sex and anal sex

We also have the penetration by non-sexual organs known as fingering and fisting (this is like fingering but instead their is a use of all finger close together).

Sex is the act in which we reproduce.  I think that is the most important characteristic about sex.   I often wonder why are humans one of four creatures (bonobos, dolphins, and chimps) that have sex for other reasons other then reproduction.

So the big question now is 

Why do we have Sex?
