I certainly don't have the credibility of an Episcopalian Priest but as a 40 year-old Christian man who has never been married I share my understandings of the premarital sex issue and provide references to other points-of-view as well. Thanks for a great article Scarleteen, I'll add it to my collection. http://bit.ly/Oqf49

Scarleteen Even more disturbingly, there has been a 400% increase in the depiction of teen girls as victims of violence.

A new report from the Parents Television Council, Women in Peril, found a 120% increase in depictions of violence against women on television since 2004. (In the same time period, violence that occurred irrespective of gender only increased by 2%.)

As a Liberated Christian blogger, I challenge the so-called "Sexual Purity" issues of the 'Christian' Right as a way to promote religious tolerance. Many in my audience are young adults who have only had Abstinence-Only Sex Education and have a desperate need for accurate information about contraception and other issues. Even though I'm often ... Read Moremore politically conservative than the Scarleteen point-of-view, I still refer members of my audience to Scarleteen as a caring and knowledgeable resource regarding these personal matters. http://bit.ly/Oqf49

One part of readiness for sexual partnership -- and it's a biggie -- is being able to hear, accept and respect another person's limits and boundaries, not just using someone else to get your rocks off.
