When I was looking for a wife, sluts were out of the question.

Very good point. The whole sexual liberation fantasy is a house built on sand. It depends on smoke and mirrors to pull it off. Next to its sideshow, chastity and fidelity look like frumps (or "so very proper", as another poster said with sarcasm). But after all the playing, where are you? Alone...on the inside.

I have known some "sluts" (male and female) who later repented and were gloriously transformed by Christ. Christ take can such a woman and free her, making her new and giving her back dignity. The woman he spoke to at the well is a great example. She was a loose woman and yet He carried on a redeeming conversation with her...HER, not the "good folk" back in the town. He started with her and she went and told everyone about Jesus—"He told me everything I ever did."

I suppose it's better not to be the woman at the well in the first place, because life is just harder for an immoral person, especially in their inner person. But I'm happy that Jesus loves sinners of all stripes and can redeem even the "worst" of us.

I am too. And of course, you're right. Any sinner can be redeemed by Christ. But what a shame that we hardly even recognize sin anymore, much less the way out through Christ. In terms of sexual morality, many of our young are falling off cliffs. I watch MTV and I see 17-year old girls on dating shows who feel they must turn over their bodies to men on the first or second date. They desparately want true love, but end up being sexual rags for promiscuous guys who never had the slightest intent of truly loving them. And then the guys just live for the moment, using desperate women as they will, but never finding the true happiness that can come from marriage and the life long commitment to one another.

And, it leaves you along on the outside as well. Guys who have self-respect will not hook up with these women. And, the other guys will not stay with them. Love does not conquer all.

With all due respect, that's the same place I ended up, being chaste and proper.
