EXCERPT:
By today's standards, the high school girl from Montgomery County was a slow starter when it came to sex, having reached ninth grade before she kissed a guy. She just couldn't see how to fit a boy into heavy loads of honors homework, soccer matches and baby-sitting....
By 11th grade, she had found the answer: "buddysex," or sexual encounters with friends, in this case a half-dozen private-school boys, no strings attached...
"September through December is a blur," she recalls as winter sunlight glints off her shoulder-length blond hair and warms her Cafe Mocha. "Let's see, I hooked up with . . . hmmm, I'll call him Rob. Then Rob introduced me to Paul. Then there was Colin, and B.T., and Brad, and Steve. I was having so much fun I didn't even think of having a serious relationship. There was no romance. None."
... In earlier decades this girl and others like her might have been shunned, but no longer. For one thing, adolescents no longer see oral sex as sex.

They are still shunned, if I ever find out they have led such a lifestyle.
I don't disagree with you but let me ask you this.
Do you believe that no one is cabaple of having thier attitudes towards sex change? This particular girl included?
How can you say with absolute certainty that she will be unsuitable for marriage when the time comes?
How can it be that she will never be worthy of trust? That call is up to her prospective husband...him alone.
Tongue lashing?
"If they don't date, how will they learn the skills of discernment, empathy and patience that keep a marriage going?"
"A series of fleeting liaisons will not help those traits," Longmore says. "That's why we want them to have dates, so when they get married they'll have them. But if all they're doing is screwing, forget it."
This is a test. Please identify the assumption imbedded in your question. :)
Pray for GW and the Troops
I read these articles with girls talking about sex with this guy or that, oral sex with this guy or that, being spread around like a plate of canapes.....it makes me sad that young women like this don't seem to realize how cheap they've become. They call it freedom and no strings, but to me it looks like tawdriness. No requirements to be treated with respect or dignity, no obligations on the man's part. They remind me of my rutting goats out in the back yard. The sexual revolution, in my opinion, has made women behave like the men that were originally complained about. Now the girls are just like them. And they're proud of it.

I don't believe this for one minute. They may tell you it's not sex, but everyone including them knows that it is. This runs along the same lines as a "marriage certificate being just a piece of paper", when we all know that avoiding that commitment just underscores that fact that YOU KNOW it's a commitment.
