Young people today are being bombarded with conflicting messages about sex from their families, their peers and especially the media. This program takes a look at a controversial approach - stressing abstinence. Religious values are one of the most prominent reasons for waiting until marriage to engage in sexual intimacy. However, there are a number of other reasons why young people should abstain when considering pre-marital sex. Beyond the risks of pregnancy, there are many other risks such as STD's and emotional turmoil. We explore how our culture has become more open than ever in talking about sex and why many people of faith are now participating in the dialogue, by promoting a positive spiritual view of sex after marriage.
