The link has more, but this is a relatively short article reminding Christians that our sexuality, for our benefit, is enjoyed without multiple partners and in the context of marriage...

“...the hard truth is that evangelicals are sleeping with partners to whom they are not married. Hundreds of thousands of them, with barely a word even spoken... “
If it were only hundreds of thousands of them.
Try millions.

Last Sunday’s epistle read:”Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, .....those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5: 19, 21) We will not persuade God to change His standards by polls or wishful thinking.

...what would this world look like if there were no more adultery and fornication? Well, for one thing, it wouldn't have any of those silly flawed but redeemable human beings in it.

This is an important article. I think the people quibbling over the actual numbers of sexually impure Christians are missing the greater message: we’ve normalized extra-marital sex in Christian culture.

The trouble with not keeping your pants on isn’t that you offend that great Prude in the sky.
On the contrary! The trouble with fornication IS that it is an offense against God!
Or does the author think all the death, diseases, and destruction he describes are BLESSINGS sent upon the OBEDIENT?? They are the consequences for "offending that great Prude in the sky" - and he refers to our God.
More study of the Old Testament might help him understand "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God". (Also recommended is a book by S. I. McMillen, M.D. called "None of These Diseases".)
Or perhaps a reading of Romans 1:18-32 might present us a "time-lapse" view of sin running its course in an individual, a community, a nation. After the final, disgusting scene has been played out, we'd be wise to recall that it all begins by refusing to admit God's proper place.
Yes, "the trouble with not keeping your pants on" is that it is sin. All that follows from that sin follows BECAUSE it is sin.
