I'm another one for abstinance, BUUUT I also acknowledge that not every child is brought up in a home where their parents educate them on it. Sex between unmarried people happens and will continue to happen no matter what. It seems to be a big part of "casual dating". Although I don't agree with it, I don't think these people are wrong for doing it. They aren't hurting anyone (usually) and they should be allowed to practice safe sex with condoms, birth control, etc. No, I don't think people should be having a sex free-for-all (hehe), but casual sex happens between friends and between people dating all the time. I don't think they should be made to wait - even though it is something you or I would do.
