Pro-life vid of the day: The walk of fame v. the walk of shame
by LauraLoo
Dannah Gresh is a sexuality educator and author of many books, including Get Lost: Your Guide To Finding True Love.
As a resident of the hometown of Penn State, Gresh coaches college students seeking to define their sexual and relationship choices. She has found that students who feel most discriminated against are those who choose to reserve sex for one mutually monogamous lifetime partnership. In other words, they’re (gasp!) virgins.
Her recent calculations found that there may be as many as 8,360 virgins (about 20%) on the Penn State campus, but they tend to conceal it. Could it be that the banner of tolerance does not include them? She has a passion to change that and to communicate that people who have sex with only one person aren’t missing out on anything. In fact, it’s just the opposite.
She recently delivered a TEDx Talk entitled “The Walk of Fame v. The Walk of Shame”:

Excellent choice of video Laura.
I agree with Tyler.
I hadn’t had sexual intercourse when I married my husband. 9 years later, I love him even more than the day I married him, We’ve left our 20’s behind and our sexual intimacy is better than when we first married.
There’s something to be said to really knowing someone well and being monogamous :-)
Agreed!
At first I thought, “Oh great, another sex “expert,” but I was pleasantly surprised by this. She really addressed the issue well in such a brief time span.
Great video, very refreshing.
Thank you everyone! Dana is an excellent communicator on the topic. LL :D
Thanks Laura Loo!! This was excellent. I have read 1 or 2 of Dana’s books but not heard her speak. I totally agree with what she said about middle-aged monogamous long-time married couples, real intimacy is “in to me you see” and is the best mind-blowing sex because it is a true MARRIAGE physically, emotionally, hormonally, mentally, and especially spiritually, it is an act of sacred worship of the creator who made both husband and wife and brought them together. That is why I loved the picture of the couple praying together before their wedding ceremony posted on a different thread. God compares the church to the bride, a sacred pure virgin waiting anxiously for her wedding day with Christ the bridegroom when they will join as one consumating their love on their beautiful wedding day. Do Christ-followers really understand why marriage is under such attack?
