“I truly think I’d be all the better for it.”
_______________________________________
Many marriages have been ruined before they were started because young men having sex out of marriage and carrying that memory into the bed of thier wife.
The same for young women.
And even today’s young men are aware what they do is wrong because they do not wish to marry those they bed.
The animal instinct is with animals. Human instinct while directed into the Procreation direction does have a high price upon the mind and soul and with diseases the body.
Today’s youth are indeed as ignorant and rampent in pride as the older folks of both sexes.
I'm at 35 years and counting of marital bliss, so I wouldn't count myself along with the many.
