I took a break from the internet and television today to continue the book I've been reading for a couple weeks now called Sex and the Soul by Donna Freitas. In it she explores the connection, or lack thereof, between sex and spirituality/religion on college campuses. While I've read some enlightening and intriguing things in the book, I've read some outrageous, absurd stuff that blew my mind. I've known dumb-ass college kids during my four years at Calvin, but this just takes the cake. Peep it:
"I want to clarify that the one time I have had intercourse has been with my girlfriend who I am more than close with....We are both devoted Christians who are devoted to virginity until marriage. We fell to temptation and for ten minutes we lay together, me inside of her. We did not move or create physical pleasure for it hurt her too much to move. We stopped before we had sex but we did engage in intercourse, at least this is how we have come to see it. We are devoted to virginity now stronger than ever as a result" (120).
The world is full of stupidity.
"We are devoted to virginity now stronger than ever."
ReplyDeleteThat would be great....had you still been a virgin, imbecile. -_-
