No sex can be better for you than you think...

Younger teen couples who do not have sex are more likely to report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationships, according to a new study.

Teen couples between 14 and 17 who stopped short of intercourse also reported higher levels of commitment in their relationships.

But for couples 17 to 21, those who are having intercourse reported higher levels of commitment.

Research has indicated that younger teens may have sex for "status," that it "may represent power." Some younger teens use sex to treat depression. In older teen couples, sex may more likely be an expression of intimacy.
