There was a report in the paper last week that said that three quarters of people though it was acceptable to have sex on a first date. Is it me, or is that really quite sad??
I can remember listening to a programme where they were looking at the rise in STDs (sexual transmitted diseases) in the younger generation. They were showing an old movie clip the was shown to members of the RAF during the Second World War. In this clip there was the sargent-major telling a class of recuits that if a woman was willing to sleep with them, what's to say that they weren't willing to sleep with others, and while you migh be lucky and not catch anything, you might also not be so lucky......
Sixty years ago the average age for the loosing your virginity if you were a guy was 21 and a girl 23 and for over half it was on their wedding night...... now-a-days the average age is only sixteen (and what's the betting it's actually lower, but that would be suggesting that most people are breaking the law) and less than one percent will wait till they are married.......
I know someone, who would prefess themselves to be a Christian, but then had a very physical relationship that lasted six or seven weeks..... and when it was over said, "Well, I knew it wouldn't last, so I enjoied myself while I could......" as if this is perfect justification.......
To me this seems so wrong, on so many levels that I can't see how someone would want to live like that. How they can live like that and still think that it's all alright..... I know that you shouldn't judge people by the same standards that you put on yourself, but I just don't get this attitude to promiscuous sex that seems to be around. I just don't.
