Millions of people around the world are capable of having sex only with their spouse. Are they just better than everyone else? Do they have some inate ability to control themselves that others do not possess? Or are they just ticking time bombs of sexual aggression? (I say that only half-joking, as I've come across those that actually believe it.)<br /> <br /> If we as socially responsible citizens were really concerned about protecting our youth and ourselves, we would recognize the scientific truths that sex outside of marriage and sex as a teenager is harmful to all involved. We would recognize that contraceptives arent' nearly as foolproof as we think (look at the stats), and that condoms do not prevent a number of harmful STDs.<br /> <br /> Our society should be wise enough to find effective ways to get that information to everyone, instead of expending so much energy trying to convince ourselves that sex outside of marriage is ok, all the while ignoring the obvious ill effects of our actions.
