      Choosing A Quality Loving Sexual Relationship - Maureen Craig McIntosh

      Introduction

      This book is written as an offering for anyone involved with teenagers, in an attempt to provide skills to assist our youth to prevent unintended pregnancy, or sexually transmitted infections or other abuses associated with sexuality. It is intended to give teens the opportunity to evaluate for themselves what kind of sexual relationship they want. There are no judgements, just questions to think about and an offering of information.  The most any of us can do to prevent unintended teen pregnancy and other consequences is to offer information. How the information is used is up to the teenager.

      As I write this I think about my experiences of over twenty in Sexual Health. In that time we have evolved from a society that could hardly say the word sex to a society that bombards us with commercial messages about our sexuality. During this same period little has been done to teach about healthy relationships. In October of 1998 I attended a conference entitled Saving Two Generations in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The intent of this conference was to develop a task force that would plan and implement programs to assist teen mothers to stay in school and at the same time provide a quality start in life to their youth. This conference was designed so that professionals and teens together could meet and brainstorm what services are needed for our teens in the community. Today, the struggle continues with organizations wanting to provide and continue the same services.

      The message I perceived from many teens was that our education programs are very inadequate. They stated that these days it is easy to get birth control and information about STD’s but what they really want is some information and things to think about before becoming involved sexually. Today, it is
