This is an important post. Thanks for how you deal with it.

It's been helpful for me to note that the Christian scriptures don't call people to virginity. Ever. But that doesn't leave us without sexual ethics. Rather, the scriptures call us to understandings of chastity - that there are boundaries that support both the health of the individual and the greater community. These actually reinforce some of the ideas that do help strengthen Christian sexual ethics as we live in a not-yet-fully-Kingdomed-world, including consent and monogamy.
