It is indecent to print, not one article, but a series of articles about the ways in which you should be having sex. You know Ms. Green, not everyone has “been there”; not everyone on this campus is sexually active. You may say the majority is, I mean hey, this is college after all. But sex - especially premarital sex - is something based so heavily in morality, that you can’t judge one person’s experience or decisions by another’s. You say, “sex is a personal experience, and everyone is different.” But did it ever occur to you that maybe there are people out there who are saving that experience for a permanent, committed and monogamous relationship?
In case you haven’t guessed, I’m a virgin, and I’m proud of it. Call me traditional, but I believe sex is something that a person should save for marriage; it shouldn’t just be some casual thing to pass the time on Thursday nights. I’m not trying to say you should be like me or that you are going to hell for having premarital sex (I’m no Brother Micah). But there are a few things you should think about before hopping into the sack with the “latest conquest” to do the “horizontal hustle.”
Did you know that condoms don’t fully protect you from STDs or pregnancy? Did you also know that the only way to fully protect yourself from STDs and pregnancy is to abstain from sex? And finally, did you know that, as a virgin, I don’t have to worry about contracting an STD, getting pregnant, having enough birth control or if that totally cute guy is going to (in the words of a guy I knew in high school) ding-dong-ditch me.
Why? Because sex is too risky to a person’s physical, psychological and emotional heath. And because I have much better things to think about than what some guy means by the music he plays when he expects to get laid. The choices we make today can and do affect us for the rest of our lives.
You don’t have to agree with me, you don’t even have to like what I’m saying. Just think about it.
