Not just peer pressure. Genetics. The urges are powerful.

Actually, it is the effects of Original Sin.

Yes the urges come from original sin. My point was sitting back and arguing that religious people are having sex is missing the point. When people immature in their faith (or walk with Christ) hear that topic they perceive it as condemnation of them. It pushes them further away from God because they don’t understand the context.

In todays world abstinence is abnormal and many people of both sexes wouldn’t date someone who didn’t have sex until marriage. At least according to my single friends.

If you spread the word on the hard rocky ground it won’t grow.
