Threads about sexual activity on Free Republic are like threads about porn: All the adolescents come out to smirk and giggle, and the point of the original post is simply ignored. In fact, the push for abstinence among teens seems to be working, and this article points up a major reason. The kids who think "scoring" is what life is all about are really the losers. The winners are those who are not putting notches in their belts.
From a Christian perspective, this reinforces our conviction that what God wants for us is what is really good for us in the long run. I wonder if those who think of this sort of thing as a giggling matter really want what is good for their own children.
