Sometimes, I thinkt they are actually more liberal.

I've counseled young guys through tough issues and saw some trends -- this being one of them. Sexuality, sexual temptation, etc not being discussed in the household. We'd rather surrender that topic to the world to define, paint a picture, and let the household and church house be silent.

Mistakes can be the end, and the beginning of what feels like hopelessness for some of these kids when they feel isolated with their issues.

I'm not a religiosity promoter. That's not even close to what I'm saying here.

But if the buzz IS a distant party and you give them this stuff, what are you doing????

Okay, without getting graphic, the big M word, which I don't really care to discuss further. You put the pieces together; M and liberal.

Do you think when men and women "look with delight" at a member of the opposite sex that the same things are happening in their heads?

You can discuss and guide or you can nag and condemn. The two are not often far enough apart.

No.

BUT, I would have to say at times, yes.
