Here's one reason why the "Abstinence until marriage" message is just ludicrous to me:
If 30 is the new 20, and people aren't marrying and having babies when they're 14 like in colonial times, and so many parents encourage their kids to explore themselves and follow their dreams before jumping into marriage, and almost half of marriages end in divorce, then aren't the majority of people in this country unmarried? And thus, if we are all abstaining from sex except with our spouse, what on earth ought the never-married 35 year old do? What should the 40-something divorced woman do? Well, they're unmarried, so they ought to abstain.
...So then I guess we'll all become 40 year old virgins...
...ahh, Kelly Clarkson!!

Casualties occur: the rich, fleecy texture of image, its extraordinary plasticity and flexibility, its private nostalgic emotional hues--all are lost when image is crammed into language -- Irvin D. Yalom
