Dannah Gresh, author of books on purity, has written a valuable piece for the CNN Belief Blog on why the hook up culture is causing depression and possibly suicide. It all boils down to the way our brain works. Good evidence here that God designed us for one partner for life.
Recent studies have revealed some good news in the sex culture among college co-eds: there are more virgins among them now than was the case a few years ago.
These days, 29% of females and 27% of males between ages 15 and 24 claim to be virgins, up from 22% of both sexes in 2002, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
