Fascinating and sad account of a good Christian girl who pledged to wait until marriage believing sex would be wonderful if she did - and ended up regretting it. Essentially she had been taught that sex was dirty for so long that before marriage she was stressed about where the line was, and after marriage she was still so horrified that she was doing something dirty that she couldn't stand sex and ended up in psychiatric therapy. Finally rejected God completely because she couldn't "be both religious and sexual at the same time". And encourages people to just have sex now.

Abstinence until marriage is a very good thing, and certainly to be taught and encouraged. But there are many pitfalls that need to be kept in mind as this is promoted.
Christians too often consider sex as dirty. It isn't dirty. It's a wonderful thing that God made. We must teach children sex is great - it just has a place - and NEVER teach them that it is dirty. Because that could have far-reaching consequences.
