I can't believe the author of this smear campaign. First let me say that I was one of those teens that wanted to abstain but gave in to peer pressure, and before I became religious, Ba'al Teshuvah, I had years of sexual history. Anyone who has any understanding of the Orthodox community, Torah, or morals in general would see the purpose and benefit of teaching abstinence. Lets face it, religious or not, today's youth are going to learn about sex. And responsible parents, yes even religious ones, talk to their children about the ramifications of pre-marital sex. Inside a religious community it is taught that sins of the flesh are not only, well, a sin, but also a major distraction. It is a fact that persons, youth or adult, who engage in sexual activities tend to be more depressed. Makes a lot of sense to me. Sexual relationships are complex, physically, mentally, and emotionally. They are meant for those adult enough to handle them. Ask anyone who has been sexually assulted what impact one sexual experience has had on them. The ramifications are endless and last a lifetime. Anyone who has experienced niddah knows how amazing and special abstinence can be. Taking that time with your special someone, to talk, get to know one another, and connect on an intelligent level. If the youth is unaware of the person he/she is with, the last thing they should be doing is having sex. Lastly, I resent this woman and her claim that bowling is a ridiculous idea for youths attempting to aviod sex. It is absolutly possible for youths to enjoy one another's company without jumping in the sack. My point is this, this website is intended for Jewish teens who, in a religious community are taught morals of abstinence and the value of marital sex. Responsible parents teach their kids the pitfalls of premarital sex. It is quite possible for teens to abstain and teaching abstinence as well as the negitive effects of sex, as this website does, is the most responsible and effective way of saving our kids from making grave and dangerous decisions. And your liberal feminist negitive statements are the reason why so many teens are finding it harder to abstain. How are they supposed to live up to higher expectations if we laugh in their face and tell them it's an impossible task. We as adults must take responsibility for our youths and rear our children to be better teens and adults at a higher standard.
