Our programs are designed to instill a very basic and important concept, and that is that it is more vital for each of us to learn about who we are before we try to get to know someone else. We teach about the importance of setting goals and how to achieve them. It's important for youth to … [Read more...]
Teen Sex vs. Abstinence
Question: IS SEX JUST ANOTHER PART OF A TEENAGERS LIFE? Answer: OF COURSE... NOBODY WAITS TO HAVE SEX ANYMORE… Did you know that teens often believe that all their friends are having sex?

Motivity exposes young people to the … [Read more...]

Reason #005 -Thirty-Four-Year-Old Mother of Four
I remember so many times just feeling like a used rag that someone just wiped their greasy hands all over. I couldn’t take back what I did, but I just wanted to be better. I wanted 2 love myself enough to say no. I thought I was going to be loved for making him happy. Instead I just kept getting hurt over and over again. I gained nothing but hard times for the decisions that I … [Read more...]
Reason #042 – I Didn’t Know Anyone Who Was Abstinent
I had a daughter at 15 and another at 21. I didn't know anyone who was abstinent, nor did I know anything about waiting. Though I love my girls I wish I had. In addition to the emotional toll of broken relationships, it is difficult taking care of kids so young. I remember long nights, finding babysitters and worrying about money for years. My friends were traveling, going … [Read more...]
Reason #001 – Bound to a Stranger
"I was at a gas station when I saw a female with a body that caught my eye. We exchanged numbers and a few days later we hooked up and had sex. I had no intentions on ever calling her again, but about 8 weeks later she called me...to tell me she was pregnant! Now, I have a son with someone I discovered I have absolutely nothing in common with, and frankly would NEVER want to be … [Read more...]
Reason #041 – Stayed a Virgin Through Hard Times
I went to a high school where everyone was very sexual and I felt like I would be "cool" if I would have just had sex or at least had a story to tell in relation to their sex stories. I had my virgin clique in high school of girls that I hung out with. I preferred hanging with girls who were like me so I wouldn't want sex. We helped each other stay virgins through hard times. … [Read more...]
Reason #013 – One Night Stand with an Exotic Dancer
I am convinced that I should have waited to have sex, because as a young man I made a choice to have sex with a young lady who was an exotic dancer. I ended up having a one-night-stand with her in which I was unprotected. Feeling nervous I went to the doctor to get a check-up. I ended up being free of disease but my poor choice could have changed my life forever. In addition, I … [Read more...]
Reason #002 – Why I Saved Myself
I have many reasons why I waited, but I will list my top 3 reasons. The number one reason that I waited was because God's Word asked me to wait. Intimacy is for the married. I believe I belong to my husband and to him only. There is honor in marriage and sex is sacred within that marriage. The second reason that I waited was because I respected myself. I felt if I … [Read more...]
Reason #017 – No One Told Us to Wait to Have Sex!
I didn’t want to, but then again I did. I had been exposed to sex so many times between the age 5 through 9. It was in my mind, but not in my heart to do it. I was 15 and I had been messing around with my boyfriend. He wasn’t pressuring me and I wasn’t pressuring him either. But neither of us had anyone tell us that it would be best for us if we waited. No one told us anything. … [Read more...]
