[quote=Anonymous]I did not raise my kids in a purity culture, and they are now in their 40s. I am so grateful now that we did that because the toxic fallout that is quite evident now among those who were raised in a no sex before marriage narrative.  It's a way to ensure  a lot of bad decisions  for the entirety of their adult life  and so many people have spoken up. That being said, there were few good resources  or treatment for HIV when my kids were in high school and college, so, no, we were not encouraging them  to engage in casual sex, even though I am pretty sure they did in college- more or less in some capacity. 
We need to take a lesson from previous generations- marriage was a social and economic contract, which favored men and provided security for females as they were unable to do so as single women. Also,  children out of wedlock was considered a shameful crime. We have  evolved as a society, and none of this is necessary nor should it ever be. Virginity is not a commodity.
