I grew up in Colorado Springs and signed not one, but TWO virginity pledges (signed the second one before the purity balls began). I was a virgin until I was 23 but 'lost' (where did it go??) my virginity before I got married. I don't regret it at all either. The funny thing is, my parents were very open and frank about all things sexual growing up and were kind of stunned when I told them I had signed a virginity pledge. (I didn't tell them about the second one)
While abstinence isn't out and out wrong, it is wrong and dangerous to hold it up as the pinnacle of all things good and right.
