I recently saw something very disturbing on Facebook. One of my friends had taken a quiz entitled "How long would you wait for sex?" Result: "You're a saint!! You could wait a whole 4 months to have sex with your bf/gf! You really value getting to know your partner before taking that step."
I was appalled! Really? 4 months is considered a LONG time?! What happened to waiting until marriage? To valuing yourself enough to wait for the right person?
I can say with my head held high that I count myself among the individuals who have chosen to wait. Not for religious reasons, but as a promise to myself.
If you've made a similar promise, and want to make it formal, you can sign the True Love Waits pledge on their website. I've already done so :-)

I fear greatly the society that my future children will grow up in. If 4 months is equivalent to "forever" now, imagine what it could be in the future! 2 months? One month? Perhaps it will just become a social activity, not requiring the participants to even be in a relationship! An awful thought!
Is sex special anymore? Or has it already become a meaningless activity meant only for recreation?
I don't have the answer to that. All I know is that I still hold it in high regard. What my peers think is probably a completely different story. I just wanted to share my thoughts. And to reassure society that there is at least one college student who's waiting.
