I would guess that a society that has heard just about everything is most likely finding itself intrigued with the idea of chastity.
Articles in The Australian yesterday gave first hand accounts by two women, one who had remained chaste from her youth and another who followed the predominant view of our over-sexualized culture, but later decided to embrace chastity.
[...]"I was always a little fascinating. I was constantly probed about these beliefs, and why I held them. It was as though the chaste way of life was a radical decision, because it was in direct contradiction to the message given to young people.
"It is assumed that we have no control, that we will have sex. It is assumed that we enjoy sexual liberty, that young people and chastity are incompatible."
She says her former school friends were not aware that this choice - chastity - was available to them.
In high school we were told, "You will get older and you will become sexually active. That is the way it happens, and when it does, wear a condom. That is the only important thing."
"There was no sense that chastity could protect (us from) the depression, the confusion, that accompanies casual sex, and the breakdown of a relationship, where you have given every part of yourself," she explained
"They didn't offer chastity as a choice, the way they advertise sexual liberty."
