Attractive virgin... great. Unattractive virgin... no big deal.
Fourteen long paragraphs, and they couldn’t state the simple truth.
I Love You.
Not dirty, true. But it is boring.
No sinky doughnut, Missah !
Chastity and modesty BTTT! They kids are great!
My wife is the only woman with whom I have “ gone all the way “ , and the first time was after we’d already set the wedding date . Not sure if she believes this , though . :)
Have you seen the billboards these people put out?
Virgin is not a dirty word, but that does not mean I need to see it while driving down the road.
Amen.
Even so, too much focus can be made on avoiding something and not enough on wholesome, passionate productivity elsewhere.
The way to maintain it is to find a bunch of appropriate things about which one is passionate so as to not be dwelling on the physical passion. The pilot light will always be on, wait for the honeymoon to turn on the main burner and nobody gets burned that way.
Those who brag about their exploits seldom are honest about the pain of their relationships past and present—and there are many ways they medicate that pain.
I know there is a lady out there who I has lived her life in hope of meeting me—there are new virgins being born every day!
Nobody wants a used car if for the same price (lifetime commitment) a new one is available. Don’t be taken for a high-speed test drive by an insincere tire-kicker who’s not serious about buying.
For a lot of people, though, a decent used car makes perfect sense....
LOL, this reminds me of a story I told my girlfriend’s dad at the time.
“So why are you having premarital sex with my daughter” I responded to him, as a snot nosed 22 year old kid “I’m not having premarital sex with your daughter, I’m not planning on getting married to her.”
I was thrown out of the house the next minute.

I think that’s a great article, and it’s good to see there are some people out there that want to maintain a sense of modesty and purity. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that is saving myself for my future husband. The culture push grows so overwhelming sometimes that I consider giving up. It is at this point that I begin to pray. Articles like this show me that I am not alone. I only hope I can be so fortunate as to perhaps find a guy like the guys mentioned in the article.
Leave it to Cornell professors to but a kibosh on purity. Good grief.
A young couple in our church, who have been going together for some time now, at 18 years of age have never kissed or been kissed by another person, not even each other. They are both waiting to be sure that this relationship is the one God wants, and I have no doubt that sex will never happen until they are both married. It’s refreshing in this day and age to see kids act like this. They’re great young people.
How? By staying married! Our marriage is solid, loving, and respectful. We don't curse at each other, get ugly with each other, or say horrible things around each other infront of our children.
We reinforce the value of marriage and love through simple language. And we empasize purity!
"Mommy and Daddy fell in love. Mommy and Daddy got married in the church (the picture of us saying our vows at the altar hangs in our livingroom for the kids to see everyday). Mommy and Daddy kissed and snuggled in the big bed; it's a special time for Mommies and Daddies after they are married. Mommy and Daddy prayed for babies, and God gave us you!"
We are close to our kids; unless they are at school or a friend's house to play, they are always with one or both of us!
We talk to them about everything, and speak in a unified voice.
We want our children to remain chaste until marriage for several important reasons:
1. God wants it that way.
2. No out-of-wedlock babies, teen births, etc.
3. No diseases.
4. No false claims of rape against my son.
5. Avoiding the potential for compromising situations for my daughter.
All of my children will get a "Promise Ring" on their 12th birthday. I will give them to my sons, and my husband to my daughter.
