Pentecostalism and premarital sexual initiation in Brazil

Abstract: Pentecostal denominations in Brazil are recognized for their promotion of conservative norms and punitive sanctions related to the sexual behavior of their young members. Moreover, they have created unique space for their followers to actively participate in a religious environment.

“…Teachings that value marriage are common, and state that "it is not God's plan for you [the faithful] to be alone, you [the faithful] should marry" (Verona 2010: 114).

“…Igrejas pentecostais agem de forma a diminuir o tempo livre dos jovens, criando grupos de namoro e de aconselhamento, fazendo com que eles dediquem a maior parte da sua rotina ao ambiente religioso. Deste modo, acabam criando um espaço em que o sexo e a sexualidade são encarados como tabu, já que valorizam a virgindade e o sexo pós-casamento, o que pode afetar indiretamente o comportamento sexual e reprodutivo dos indivíduos (Verona & Regnerus, 2014).…”
