With society turning a blind eye, why the hullabaloo over the phrase "Pre-Marital" sex?
Also, nearly one third of American households subscribe to one of the Playboy cable channels or packages. I feel like that statistic might be a little low, probably because the survey's respondents didn't bother to investigate further if the wife answered.
As for the soap opera statistic, it must be an average that includes the Christian soap operas, because every time I've tried to sit through one of the secular ones, it's been extra-marital sex, incest, extra-marital sex, step-incest, extra-marital sex, adultery and a murder.
It also seems the media is overrun not only with extra-marital sex, but with suggestions of how to obtain it. I've known girls who've followed advice from Sex and the City, and there's certainly a large contingency who swear by Cosmopolitan magazine.
Furthermore one of the easiest ways to a modern girl's heart is to find a romantic movie and reenact a classic scene. Sing "A Whole New World," sweep her off her feet in the rain, bail her out of jail: if it happened in a movie and she's seen it, you're in.
Sure, there's probably something to be said for abstinence. I'm sure it works great for some people. But my question is, why say "No" if you're responsible enough to handle "Yes?" It's like turning down a large quantity of chocolate because you might gain weight if you make a lot of other compounded bad decisions. If you eat chocolate and go for a jog every morning, eat fruit and salads for regular meals and make sure it's the good-quality chocolate that isn't made of all milk fat, you'll likely be fine. I'm not endorsing reckless chocolate eating without the protection of a good metabolism and would prefer the presence of a toothbrush (and toothpaste) for good measure. That said, I highly recommend chocolate. It's a fantastic delicacy. If promise rings are your thing, I commend your willpower and dedication, but I'm much too utilitarian and hedonistic for that.

It is not only Christian people that decide to wait until they are married to have sex. It is a choice based on the morals of each individual. In my opinion, it is sacred and meant for two people to share. (Continued…)

When attacking websites for their content, particularly when attacking them for failing to cite their sources, it would seem natural to mention which websites. (Continued…)
