Sometime between the founding of a student-run porn magazine and the day the campus health center advertised Free Lube, Harvard University seniors Sarah Kinsella and Justin Murray decided to fight back against what they see as too much mindless sex at the Ivy League school. They founded a student group called True Love Revolution to promote abstinence on campus.
Some feminists, in particular, have criticized True Love Revolutions message. Harvard student Rebecca Singh said she was offended by a valentine the group sent to the dormitory mailboxes of all freshmen. It read: Why wait? Because youre worth it. I think they thought that we might not be ruined yet, Singh said. Its a symptom of that culture we have that values a woman on her purity. Its a relic.
Others on campus have mocked the group. Murray said his friends take pleasure in loudly, and graphically, discussing their sex lives just to taunt him. On campus there is such a strong attitude of pluralism and acceptance, but then it doesnt extend to this, Kinsella said.
First of all - do you think there is more ridicule for a celibate lifestyle than other sexual choices?
And please - comment away - this should get interesting.
