There were several stages in the area of sexual issues in the West. The first was the traditional stage which lasted until the beginning of the 20th century and in which marriage was done in the traditional way and if a girl married a boy without informing her family, she would be reprimanded. Sex before marriage was also rejected. In the US, 75 percent of people believed that no sexual act should be allowed before marriage. However, after the sexual revolution, this rate dropped to 35 percent.
The sexual revolution took place in the 1950s and 1960s. Developments that would normally take 100 years to take place happened in just two decades. As a result, family moved toward the edge of collapse.
Research showed that over 8 percent of men and 4 percent of women cheated on their spouse in that period, and this became the main reason for collapse of marriages.
It is also the cause of many physical and mental illnesses.
Those who engage in extramarital affairs experience lack of self-confidence, anxiety, and so on. They usually have less success in their job and financial affairs.

A study conducted in the US in 2007 showed that 90 percent of teenagers want to receive lessons on sexual abstinence.
According to the study, 90 percent of parents also seek such education for their teenage children.
