Want to start a fight in America? Voice your opinion on teen sex. Christian leaders, parents, and policy makers are obsessed with it. Many decide that, for the young and unmarried, abstinence is best. Of course, the young and unmarried don't always agree. Most disregard the pleas for purity, threats of damnation, and warnings about STDs and simply do what feels right. Others, however, take these things to heart. Encouraged by their religious leaders, many teens make the pledge to wait until marriage. They praise their Lord, wear abstinence rings, and surround themselves with like-minded people to temper temptation. Then one day, they fantasize. The next week, they masturbate. And after a few years, they head off to college, break up with their high school sweethearts and have sex for the first time.
