      INTRODUCTION

      Does it ever bother you that we live in such a vulgar society? Have you ever been disgusted and offended by the constant barrage of sexual images everywhere you look? Did you ever think that sex should be more private and meaningful than it is in American culture today?

      If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book will explain the way we can move forward (not backwards) and establish a new sexual morality. It will explain why I believe sex is actually sacred when it is combined with real intimacy.

      My evolution about sex and morality came over a period of about 40 years. While I started off as a Hippie who believed in free love, and while retaining my left-wing political beliefs, I gradually became a social conservative when it comes to sex, love, marriage and family.

      I believe we can raise the sexual union to the spiritual experience it was always meant to be. It takes a postponement of physical intimacy while you are establishing platonic intimacy. Although this can be challenging, I believe we humans are ready for such a quantum evolutionary leap. Instead of sex being something taboo or sinful, the sexual union becomes a wondrous moment, a culmination of love and intimacy, and the union of two human beings. As we teach our children about love, intimacy and marriage, I believe we will find ourselves living in a gentler and more peaceful society, one that raises its children to believe that true love joyfully waits.

      CHAPTER I

      What People are Saying About

      Love, Sex and Marriage

      Between March 1 and March 10 of 2013, I interviewed approximately 30 people who are friends, family members, and colleagues. They are all adults, but from different age groups, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and creeds, and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. They each answered the following five questions:

      Growing up, what was your family situation, i.e., were your parents married? If yes, for how long? Did you live with both your father and mother as you were growing up? How do you think your family situation influenced you when it came to falling in love and getting married?

      Were you raised in a strict household, or were your parents more permissive?

      Did you save sex for marriage? Or, if you’re not married yet, do you plan to save sex for marriage? What are your beliefs today about the advantages or disadvantages of saving sex for marriage?

      Looking back, are you happy with your decision to wait or not to wait for marriage? Do you have any regrets, and if you had it to do over again, would you do things differently? Please explain.

      Were (or are) your friends sexually active before marriage? How did this influence you in your decision whether or not to have sex before marriage?

      Here are their answers, from youngest to oldest, divided into gals and guys. (Please note that I copied their answers exactly as they were written.. I did not change any of the grammar or spelling because I believe they are more authentic if presented in their exact written words.)

      The Gals

      LUCIE (21): Yes my parents were married; 25yrs, i think. Lived with both of them. My family life didn’t have much to do with me falling in love. I think that being adopted and growing up with a conservative mother made me scared of having relationships with the opposite sex. I remember the countless crushes I had growing up but never feeling safe enough to talk about them. I think mostly because my father never really cared, he worked in the real world and on his motorcycles. And I had a hard time bonding with my mother because I hoped that one day Elaine (bio mom) would whisk me away and all would be right. I was afraid to make a connection with my mama because I still felt that I would hurt Elaines’ feelings if I loved/ had another mother. It was a strict. We had rules and they had to be followed. Most of it was my father’s doing though. My mama was more permissive. She had a reward system which I plan to use with my son.

      I didn’t save sex for marriage. I was 17 when I lost my virginity. Know looking back I wished I had waited a little longer. For I believe kids/young adults should wait at least until they are 18 and in a committed monogamous relationship. Some part of me wishes that I would have waited but then again I wouldn’t have my son.

      I try not to think about it so much because there is so much that I regret. For me it is a catch 22. I do wish that I would have waited until marriage. But I would not change anything I chose to do. Those choices led me to having my son and me being the woman and mother I am today. I will, if i have a daughter urge her with all of my being to wait until marriage. I cannot change my past nor do I want too. In middle school I knew a number of girl friends who were having sex. For me I was more worried about Harry Potter and the books I was reading and getting good grades to really care. Shit I didn’t even kiss a guy until the guy I dated in high school. I don’t have many friends now but as far as I know they do have sex. I had sex the first time because a guy led me on to make me believe he liked me. But unfortunately that was first harsh lesson of the real world. I was just another notch on his bed post. Since then I have had a huge amount of fear that if i dont have sex with a man right away then he wont want to get to know me. I may still be young but I would any young woman who is thinking about waiting to do it (wait). Sex is a beautiful thing and though I am in a relationship I still find it hard to say no to sex. You are in charge of your body and I urge woman to take control.

      RAIN (39): I grew up in a conservative home. We went to church every weekend. I knew what the bible said about the topic and my mom was a health teacher that was open to talk about birds and the bees so to speak. My parents have been married over 45 years. I think that influence has a lot to do with my successful marriage of 14.5 years.

      I would say they were strict. I had to come home before 10:30 freshman year and each year I got an extra 30 min. Mom said anything after dark was only trouble and she was right. I did my share of pushing my limits but usually was home on time. Only drank just a little compared to my peers. Never did drugs. Only smoked a little in college.

      I did not save sex for marriage. I didn’t plan to have it before. Once the ‘seal was broken’ so to speak, there was no going back. I see no advantages to it. AT ALL. Once you open your eyes to that, you can’t go back.

      Happy? no. But it made me who I am. Regrets? Sure but I don’t dwell on it.
