Easy for a girl who didn’t practice abstinence to say abstinence is unreasonable. Sex is a choice. Period. There are those who do, in fact, wait until they are married. And while the character it takes to do this seems to be getting much more rare, it is possible.
As a person who waited til marriage, big freakin deal. My husband didn’t wait until marriage and he’s the best person I know.
As someone who did practice abstinence, it ain’t easy. Have you never been in the heat of the moment? I seriously wonder how some of you have grown up. I had the best parents a child could ask for but I sure as hell wasn’t perfect. My husband could be considered a manwhore if we look at his teenage/college years. It’s not his parent’s fault just like it aint’ my parents fault for the mistakes I made as a teen.
Yes it is. One problem is that such behavior is usually derided in the media, etc. But one example where that didn’t happen was a great character on the ‘90’s Sci-Fi show Babylon 5, “Marcus” — and I wish we had a few more such public heroes, even if they are fictional.
