This paper examines the relationship between religiosity, sexual attitudes and sex. It looks at the influence of  religiosity on the likelihood of engaging in intercourse, and the effect of having sex on subsequent religious and sexual attitudes. It also discusses the influence of religious participation and church attendance on teens' sexual behaviours.
