NO, NOT ME!!! Come on,

NO, NOT ME!!! Come on, all of you know me better than that; just getting your attention. 'I put out on the first date' is a bumper sticker I see on this one car that I often drive by when I'm going to the high school. This car is owned by a woman who also has a bumper sticker that says 'Strippers'. Let me preface my gripe with a tidbit of information; I am by no means prude. But was happens between my husband and I is just that, between my husband and I. I will never go into details about my private life with anyone, not even my best friend. So why is it that so many feel compelled to force their sexuality down our throats? (get your mind out of the gutter) I don't need to know that she's a whore. I don't need to know that she has no values or morals. But more importantly, children don't need to know. How frightening is it to young girls to look at that bumper sticker and process the thought of "Hey, I might actually have to put out to get a guy interested in me? Many put outs? Many guys? Is this my future?" Most women/girls dream of one man, only one. Sure you can be attracted to more, but ideally you just want your one 'Night in Shining Armor'. Little girls fantasize about the one who they will love for the rest of their lives. It is a beautiful gift given by God, but the Culture of Sexuality has destroyed what was meant to be pure and beautiful. I am completely disgusted by it's prevalence and am fatigued with it's constant stampede on the radio, television and in magazines. A promiscuous lifestyle often leaves one feeling empty, dirtied and confused, and how often is that side of the equation spoken of?

This is where feminism has brought my gender; a woman's purity no longer has value. In the past, it was customary for a newly wed couple to hang the sheets they slept on the night before outside for all to see. Evidence of the woman's purity was to be known and revered; now it's a race to see who can be the first one in your circle of friends to lose your virginity, even at the ripe old age of 13.

Mothers, fathers, I implore you to teach your daughters that their bodies are of value; that virginity is not a bad thing, that it's a gift from God meant to be given to one man. What better wedding present to give to your spouse than your virginity?

I do what I can with my sons, I am constantly preaching to them about respecting girls. I know that the sex drive for guys at their age far exceeds their female counterparts, but I'm trying, I'm trying.

So parents please, don't let your daughters dress like hookers. Setting the rules early on helps and being a nosy and monitoring parent impacts who they will become.

I once heard an older preacher say "Ladies, please cover yourself with clothing, us men can't help but look. We want to be Godly, but when you're wearing next to nothing, it makes it almost impossible".
