Which is pretty unsurprising to me. I'm sure most kids are sincere when they pledge to remain virgins, so why would they plan for something they don't intend to do? Seems like the main problem with abstinence-only sex-ed in a nutshell. |
Plus, moreover, besides and additionally, if a major reason why they took the pledge in the first place is that they believe that extramarital sex is sinful, it's not just that they'd be planning for something they don't intend to do. It's that planning how to sin would itself be sinful.
