Man; I didn't need a promise ring when I was young. No girl would have me! I have all the social skills of a chicken eating toad, I guess. The boys liked me. I could have had any number of them. I just didn't want to say yes out of desparation. I have discovered one thing about sex... People are uneasy about it. They can't talk about it, so they joke about it. Look at all the gay stuff that comes out of Hollywood, and New York. People are offended by it and fascinated by it and the general unease which people often feel about the whole subject is target for humor. I wouldn't read too much into it. You don't have to be gay to enjoy a gay joke, or black to tell a black joke. All you do is take a steriotype to its usual conclusion and you have humor. It does not have to be true to work, just as it would not necessarily work if it were true. That is the funny thing about bigotry, and the sad thing too. ... Thanks... Sweeney

The MTV crowd mocks abstinence because they operate from a completely different worldview - one that simply cannot grasp the notion of obedience to an unseen God. They also do not (and never have) understood the concept of delayed gratification. It's a philosophy that dates back to the 1960's; one that Generations X & Y have inherited from their hippie parents & grandparents. Personally, I turned MTV off when they canceled "Beavis and Butthead." That was at least 12 years ago and I haven't had my TV on that channel for five minutes since. It's pure unadulterated garbage.

Re: Matt; Sir, what you and Mr. Shapiro do not realize is that sex is like religion or medicine or law in that you get better the more you practice. Underlying all sexual practice is the desire to love and be loved. The reason people move on from sexual relationships is that the love is not there, because it is the love that makes the sex good. People can tell when they are not loved, and are just being used. For them it is like the republicans and everyone else. And Mr. Shapiro is wrong about the baggage of other relationships. I treasure my baggage, and not because I still love those women, like that, romantically; but because every failed relationship has brought me finally to the point where I get a D instead of an E. Part of the reason it is so difficult to make a love relationship work was stated by the great philosopher, Uncle Fester, who said: She's a girl and I'm a boy. We got nothing in common... Even if that is not exactly true; every relationship does have to look for common ground; and my guess is, that the religious ideologues who have control of the republican party have given up on finding common ground with every one else, and have decided to steam roll everyone into submission. Who knows that they will not do just that. I am certain they will, if America does not stop them. ... Thanks.... .Sweeney

Keep telling yourself that, James. If you repeat it every five minutes, you'll believe it in a year or two. With all due respect, your opinion is undiluted rubbish.

Young people who remain virginal until marriage "don't enter marriage with the baggage of past relationships"? Most people wouldn't consider it "baggage," but life experience. Look at it this way: If you needed surgery, would you rather be operated on by a board-certified surgeon who's done hundreds of operations, or a first-year resident?
