The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported African-American teens are embracing abstinence.
The percentage of African-American teens who chose abstinence rose from 18.5 in 1991 to 51.5 percent in 2015. The rise in sexual abstinence was even greater among males. Research has also indicated that the number of American teens who have not had sex has increased in the last 25 years. The increase for African-American male teens is nearly 10 times greater- a 28 percent increase for American teens and a 246 percent increase for African-American male teens since 1991.
