With a woman a look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone's tree with the point,

a new article from the Institute for Family Studies debunks the so-called myth of sexual

experience.

The idea that intimate experience before marriage is necessary for relational happiness.

Pondry, to what so often assumed, sexually inexperienced individuals who've only been with

their spouse, report the highest levels of satisfaction sexually and relationally, and

the highest levels of marriage stability.

The most precipitous drops in those areas come with those who've had five or more partners.

They're consistently the least satisfied in their relationships and report the least

stable marriages.

These results, of course, run completely contrary to what's shown in pop culture, especially

in sitcoms and movies, where the happiest characters of the so-called, freest.

More evidence that sex was designed by God for the perpetuation and sustaining of creation,

its purpose is connected to the overall purpose of human beings in God's world.

On the other hand, there's a way that sexuality works best for societies and individuals.
