True Love Waits? Maybe for Too Long

Some folks play chastity games for fun. (E.g., F/m couples.)
Others practice it because they think it will keep their souls from burning in eternal hellfire.
Except in very special cases willful chastity often leads to a personal damnation of its own. I've met some of the people who never, ever have sex of any kind. Never will. And it stems from those naïve, pious feelings of youth.
"I remember sitting there and feeling really uncomfortable because every single character had either engaged in premarital sex or was talking about having engaged in premarital sex," said Christian Sahner, 20, a junior from Maplewood, N.J.
So about a year ago, the students formed a group promoting chastity. Although similar groups exist at other universities, it is a first for the Ivy League. The groups first sprung up in the South, but the idea is catching on nationwide, said Jimmy Hester from True Love Waits, a Nashville, Tenn.-based group that promotes abstinence.
