It is the sheer repression and demonetization of sex and sexuality that over half of all abstinence pledges are broken. By adding mystique to sex, people are attracted to it, even though they feel they shouldn't. Doing something that they know they shouldn't can be a huge aphrodisiac to people, which explains the explosion of pornography on the internet. By having both conventional and non conventional sexual fetishes at one's fingertips, the old societal norms are breaking down, albeit extremely slowly. The old maxim still applies; "You can use sex to sell anything except sex." Admittedly, the aforementioned plan would be greatly helpful, but overall would fail due to the stranglehold the religion has on this nation. The fact that states still have anti-sodomy laws is proof enough of this. Exactly, I’m glad someone realizes this.
