So I found this article interesting to say the least. This woman is a 26 year old virgin who is waiting for marriage, and has found it fairly difficult to not only tell men that she is a virgin, but also waiting for marriage to change that.
I'm not sure exactly what my question is for this as "Do you guys agree with her?" seems to be overly simplistic for this discussion. As for me I see some interesting problems with her logic, specifically her stated belief that "love and sex are intertwined." I actually agree with this statement, but from personal experience I can confirm that love and marriage are not intertwined which says to me that Ellen Burkhardt (the author) is in fact separating love from sex. Furthermore I feel that the reason "no sex before marriage" was originally started as means to create a moral reason not to have children when people were young and stupid. When you become older and wiser (and thus able to handle children should a pregnancy arise) people become less worried about how you will handle it because you are now intelligent enough to make responsible decisions.
Anyway's what your reactions to this article?
