Good Chastity Versus Bad Chastity
The other night on Politically Incorrect, 27-year-old babelicious virgin Mary-Louise Kurey debated the inventor of the birth control pill on sex. It was quite an event. Although I think Ms. Kurey's no-sex-before-marriage approach is impractical for most people, I was impressed that she was well-spoken and expressed respect for those who disagreed with her.
This is in contrast with born-again chastity advocate Dr. Laura Schlesinger. Schlesinger's view of the matter is as follows: 1) People should wait for marriage to have intercourse; 2) People should wait until they are in their late twenties to marry. These premises form a syllogism, the conclusion of which is that people should wait until they are in their late twenties to have intercourse. Unlike Ms. Kurey, Dr. Schlesinger doesn't have any patience for those who disagree with her impractical advice (advice that she never bothered to follow herself); whenever a masochistic female caller to Dr. Laura's radio show says that she is intimate with her boyfriend, the compassionate Dr. Laura gives a constructive retort like, "Oh, so you're spreading your legs for this guy. Why don't you become a call girl--at least you could make a living from it." Yuck!
