- Too bad there are a lot of single Christians out there who associate the
- two together and refuse to date other Christians unless they would
- seriously consider the other person as a spouse.

- True. How many churches teach on the topic of sex and sexuality at all?
- And how many teach sex as being the "cream" of the relationship, not the
- basis for it?

- Kim Boyce, on THIS I KNOW, has a song called *No Means No* which
- is encouragement to wait for the right time and that you don't have
- to give in to pressures to "do it". She is ministering to the
- high-school crowd, hence the topic and delivery. I think it also
- incorporates the idea of rape, since it deals with unconsenting
- advances.
