I wish every mother sat her daughter down in her teens and explained that being a single mom reduced their SMV not to zero, but into the negatives. As in "STDs" or "currently under house arrest", or "ladybits are literally infested by bees" territory. If she's awesome in every other way she might claw her way up to having a low SMV, but why go through all that effort when /not getting knocked up by some badboy is so much easier/?

Exactly. People think that giving in to their sexual urges is easier and therefore preferable. But the consequences of doing so are much harder to live with than just saying no and not getting yourself into a situation where your resolve may crumble - or dating a guy who you know is bad for you because you think it'll be fun.
