True Love Revolution

A group at Harvard found at http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/tlr/ , known as True Love Revolution, is promoting abstinence until marriage. In one of the interviews about why they believe this is important, the founders of the club told of a time when they asked a group of students if they had ever had sex with anyone and not felt an emotional connection afterward. No one raised their hand.
The girlfriend and founder of this club, Ms. Kinsella, is quoted in an article. Below is an excerpt.

"They bat away worries from friends that maybe they should try sex first, just in case. The answer is no. Ms. Kinsella says abstaining is a matter of emotional health.

Taking small bites of her salad, she quotes from a course she took on female behavioral biology and describes the “awesome effects” of the hormone oxytocin, released during orgasm. 'When people have that bonding experience with someone and it ends,” she says, “they tend to feel heartache.'"

I hope more people realize that waiting is better and do not have to learn the hard way and go through all the heartache and grief of broken relationships. Young people would do well to know this and have the self control to wait until marriage.
