Women are different than men no doubt.

But fornicating is not good for boys or men, even if it feels good in the moment. It is also crippling to family, church, and state. In our immaturity we often fail to realize the sometimes lifetime consequences of what seems like harmless indulgence.

If caught, it’s a marriage if unencumbered, or death penalty otherwise, offense, biblically. In contrast, thieves are to just repay 2-4 times what they stole as punishment, depending on circumstances. So we see it is very serious and can’t be “repaid.”

Often those of us who believe fornication is terribly harmful are treated as though we are anti sex. On the contrary I am very much pro. It’s an amazing essential transcendent act. Very powerful. Having had several kids you must figure I’ve done my share. But like any great good we can use it to wield great harm.

I once read that in Cuban Latino culture, boys are constantly lectured by their fathers that at all costs they must protect their sister's Honor, to keep a close watch over her to prevent them from becoming the conquest of other teenaged boys. Because if their sister should be seduced or even worse - knocked up - then the honor of the entire family is blackened.

OTOH, these same boys are also lectured by these same fathers to try to seduce the young daughters of *other* families, because that's a real feather in your cap to blacken the honor of some other family, while proving your Macho-ness at the same time.

Apparently their Hypocrisy Threshold is non-existent.
