ABSTRACT

This paper focussed on the role of pastoral counseling for adolescents’sexual problems. Firstly, this paper researched several previous studies on sexuality perception and problems among the youth. This paper illustrated five items including increase of sexual desire, masturbation, premarital sex, date, social learning theory as adolescents’ sexual problems. This paper furthermore concentrated its study on premarital sex as the most concerning issue among the five items. This paper illustrated 10 approaches as the role of pastoral counseling for the adolescents’ sexual problems. The ten items were made on the basis of Oh Sung Choon’s five aims of Christian education for the young and McDowell and Hostetler’s seven qualities of Christian counselors for the young. The ten approaches are as follows. ① Listen to carefully adolescents’ hurt story ② Utilize family and parents of the adolescents as a bridge of sexual counseling ③ Put the function of church for juvenile sex education into practice ④ Build up adolescents’ right belief system and value system ⑤ Encourage up adolescents to fill up their lives with better valuable things besides sex ⑥ Bring up specialists of the adolescents’ sex counseling ⑦ Accept positively the adolescents with failed experiences in sexual problems ⑧ Resist a compromising attitude against sound Christian sexual ethics ⑨ Teach adolescents the law of diminishing in sexual satisfaction ⑩ Admonish desirable attitude and behavior toward sex.
