Nothing against people who prefer to save themselves for marriage. I can respect that. But, I can't get past what you posted here about your friends. I think what a lot of Christians do is they try to follow what the Bible says by not having sex, but at the same time, they do other things that are totally against what the Bible teaches. If they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, have seen each other naked, and shower together, then why not just have sex. They're already doing everything that the Bible teaches against.
I remember when I was at Vanderbilt, my ex was one of those Christians who was trying to save herself for marriage. Funny thing is she would do everything else under the sun. I guess what I'm saying, if they're going to save themselves for marriage, then why not follow the other rules the Bible teaches?
