Desperate times call for virginity pledge

By Margery Eagan
Thursday, June 12, 2008

Taking the Virgin ’til Marriage Pledge has helped teens and young adults delay having sex, the Rand Corp. research arm now reports. Some 42 percent in the Rand study who made these pledges remained virgins, while 34 percent admitted they had sex within three years.

Even if you account for lying, the virgins won that race by a comfortable 8 percent margin.

Let’s be honest. If you stand up and take the Pledge before friends and family, it’s much easier to pretend you’ve kept it than detail dates, names, times and other particulars of your failure(s).

After all, who would haul you off to the Royal Gynecologist (as the sadistic Windsors did to the late, great Princess Diana) to be sure?

So this is a plus, big-time.

Because the times are desperate. Miley Cyrus is posing half naked in Vanity Fair. Girls too tiny for training bras are buying thongs at Victoria’s Secret. Beyonce is marketing toddler tramp clothing - sexy high heels for the 24-month-set - and we’re buying it. Does a pre-teen-size dress-up outfit with sleeves, without spaghetti straps or no straps at all, even exist anymore?
