Too much christian nonsense I don't want to be reminded of.

And, of course, since they also taught that gay was totally a choice, it never occurred to me as a teenager that there was another reason than being uber spiritual why those pledges were so easy for me.

True love waits - or just lies, or does it in the ass.

We are still happily married 12 years later, as I hit the jackpot and he is GGG. I am too! We have similar sexual likes and dislikes. we discussed what we knew about our sexual preferences before marriage, but we didnt know so many things. we are lucky we evolved the same ways. We held off of having kids until I was 28 so I could start my career. Sex hit a lull when the kids were infants, but we are bouncing back pretty hard.

This system can work, but it certainly won't work (didnt work) for most of the teens in that video. In fact, it often does so much harm. I have girlfriends who are so totally frigid in marriage, girlfriends who are happy as non-monogamous folks, yet can't get past the shaming as teens.

Religions such as Christianity are destroying reason, progress and could actually destroy our planet. Enough is enough. They need to be destroyed, or at least their influence needs to be reduced substantially.

I'm not talking violence unless the churches start supporting fascism again and try to overthrow our secular democratic institutions (see: religious support of Hitler, Franco, Mussolini). I'm talking through education and through political action.

The thing of it is, by making your children more dependent on you later in life, you endanger them more than if you encouraged them to think and act independently.

We all die. Death is real. And someday, you and I will die. If our children are still tied to us by the umbilical cord, they will suffer more as they will have grown accustomed to having su watch over them, rather than watching out for themselves.

Keeping a child stunted like that, keeping them under your wing too long, harms them. Adolescence is when the human body attains its functional independence, and the mind completes it's independence from the parental mind. That's nature's way of saying that its time to let go.

This perverse infantilization of our youth is one of religion's least appealing qualities.

Not only are they stupid, brainwashed sheep, but they're fucking arrogant little shits. Who the fuck taught that girl that it was okay to address an adult like that? (I have some ideas)

Now I'm in New York consistently having sex with one man who I'm not married to and using protection because I educated myself as to the risks.

Everyone else in that little church group? Still in Nevada, and most are up to 2 babies by now with little hope for so much as a vacation let alone a move.

@22: Phoebe, it's hardly free will and self-determination when a young person has been conditioned from birth to show deference to religious leaders and to fear infinite, agonizing punishment for finite crimes, and that religious leader is telling them that engaging in the urges their body wants (even just masturbation) is going to lead straight to that eternal punishment.

Also, this mindset is not positive for society. Purity Culture Is Rape Culture. And don't get me started on all the ways in which the Bible itself condones rape, as it alternately espouses the importance of purity.

Honestly though, I don't see anything wrong with kids waiting until they're older if that's what they genuinely wanna do = there are loads of unplanned pregnancies in this age group, and we hardly need more. So if they would actually hold off on screwing in unprotected fashion until they're older, I would be all for this, especially if it could be done in a sex positive manner, which of course it won't be in Silver Ring Thing-land.

What I'm curious about and what was left unsaid in this little video was any mention of masturbation as an alternative and a natural virginity-preserver. I mean, how many times a day do teenage boys get wood? Are cold showers the only allowable option? Or "praying" - which is sorta hilarious. What exactly are you praying for? "Dear God, please make this hard-on go away"? If they were really serious about waiting until marriage and helping people to do so - coping tactics - shouldn't they be preaching from that stage about the great blessing that is masturbation, in allowing you to achieve your virginity goals?

Also not discussed was, what if you don't marry until you're 28? 30? 35? What if you never meet the right guy or gal? What then?

@16, that's quite a violent sounding statement. Try reading that aloud to yourself in front of a mirror.

She's 32 and her daughter (born two months before she got married) turned 15 today.
