Why do bad things happen…

Sex is easy. Virginity is difficult.
Sex is easy. Virginity is difficult.

Associate Producer with ninemsn has written an article with the above title. He writes of his own experience waiting until married to engage in sexual activity.
It is very subjective defence for sexual purity: “Virginity by choice only works if it is a choice you have made and have chosen to stick to. I made the choice because of my Christian faith. It’s a decision that I don’t expect many people to make, but it’s one I’m proud of.”
It’s an interesting twist to promote virginity as more difficult challenge than to actually ‘get laid’. I wonder whether the reverse psychology will encourage anyone to view sex differently? I wonder if Nick’s choice made because of his Christian faith and now publicesed choice will impact people to investigate why Christian faith does impact decisions and choices like this.
If you are wondering what the connection between God and sexuality is I ask you to WATCH THIS (it runs for 2mins 35secs)
