Sexual Purity

Allan Meyer posted an article at http://www.philbaker.net [a fantastic read] about abstinence and teenagers. Those that signed a 'pledge to purity' were waiting about 18 months longer to consummate their relationship that those that didn't. What he said really struck me when he noted 'they are waiting till 19 to lose their virginity rather than 18'

I think there is such room for good counsel in this area, used will sex and sexuality can be such a blessing, used poorly it can be so destructive.

The site is a great read and full of witty and insightful information!

Telling The Truth

I recently wrote an article that has been posted on my friend's website [www.chriscaine.com/freshinsights] and was sending it to my friends and family and challenged myself when you say things like..."I thought you'd like to know" and "Well, I'll let you go now" code for I want you to know I am proud of this and I want to go now please - WHY do I succumb to this and all other sort of polite but essentially untrue conventions?

Suffice to say I wrote my email say I want you to know I wrote this because I am rather proud, and rather honoured by the opportunity, thanks Nick and Chris, keep influencing the world.
