Adolescents who place higher levels of importance on religion and prayer are at a lower risk of early sexual initiation (Lammers, Ireland, Resnick and Blum, 2000; Resnick et al., 1997) and are less likely to have frequent sexual intercourse (Benda and Cowyn, 1996). However, in their study, Ku et al. (1998) observed a positive relationship between religiosity and sexual experience. They found that adolescent males who place high importance on religious and moral beliefs were significantly more likely to have had sex in the four weeks prior to the survey interview.
