I don't know if it is just me being me or if others can see my point of view on this. I am one of the few people left it seems that believes that sex should wait until after marriage. Well, I heard through the grape vine that she has lost her virginity a few years back. Is it bad that it changes me view of her? I know she hasn't gone out sleeping around but it has still altered the way I see her
and most people who profess the whole "don't sleep together until marriage thing" are generally hypocrites who also decry the use of birth control.

I figure I'll go on another date or two and if she mentions anything about it then I'll take it from there.
To answer Razor's question: Very public scandals have erupted from conservative public figures who supposedly hold the belief that sex should wait until after marriage. A prime example is Sarah Palin's family. Supposedly their religious beliefs preclude sex before marriage and they have campaigned politically on the issue. Yet two of her children have had sex out of wedlock AND become pregnant out of wedlock, something their beliefs forbid. And some have got divorced.I don't want to get too political here, as that is not what this thread is about, so I'll leave it at that.
I'm afraid I can't think of a single example of a conservative public figure who was both (a) on the record as being against premarital sex and (b) involved in a sex scandal. Sarah Palin has not been involved in a sex scandal and that fact that her daughter had a child out of wedlock is not an example of a sex scandal. Her daughter is not a public figure...
It doesn't necessarily follow that people who are against premarital sex are also against birth control.
Interesting how you've advised Mike not to judge this young woman for her choices, yet you've done precisely that with respect to those who have a different viewpoint than you do. Now, that's hypocrisy.
And why this tickles me is because this discussion feels as if it has become a judgment of this woman solely because she has had multiple relationships that involved sexual intercourse, but does not appear to subscribe to any values that preclude such normal, healthy activities.
