Engaging your grown up kid into family activities, spending quality time with him or her can assure a healthy and risk free sexual life for your child. Adolescents who took part in family activities more often had sex less frequently, less unprotected sex, and fewer sex partners
Most of the researches on teen sexual behavior overlook this critical aspect and concentrate typically on whether or not a teen has had sex. But given that two out of three U.S. teens have sex before they turn 19, more specific information would provide a better understanding of the risks involved.
To understand and to define things in a more appropriate manner and to inform whether parental qualities influence a child's sexual behavior rather than vice versa, a study was done on kids aged 12 to 16 years.
The results were very positive. The more times a week that an adolescent reported having dinner with their family, "doing something religious" as a family, or having fun with their family, the less likely he or she was to engage in risky sexual behavior.
However, it was also revealed that parents using “negative and psychologically controlling" behavior increased the likelihood of their children going for risky sex. Negative and psychologically controlling parenting behaviors may inhibit adolescents' development of self-efficacy and identity, interfere with mature and responsible decision making skills, and affect the development of healthy relationships, in turn leading to an elevated likelihood of engaging in risky behaviors.
Spending quality time with the family opens up relations and the teen can also discuss with his/her parents if he/she is having any kind of sexual disorder. Disorders like impotence are rare in teens (male) but they can not be totally denied. Drugs like Viagra and Cialis are very helpful for people suffering from any such ailment.
