WASHINGTON TIMES – June 15 – We put a price tag on sex. Sex, at one level, is an exchange. Each person gives the other person something of themselves. But it is typically a different something", said University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus. Mr. Regnerus and co-author Jeremy Uecker use sexual economics theory in their new data-driven book, “Premarital Sex in America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate and Think About Marrying.” Many young women like to spend some time in the sex market before moving on to the marriage market,” Mr. Regnerus said. The new sexual economy is especially disadvantageous to any woman who wants to remain a virgin until her wedding day. These women essentially never enter the sex market, but instead “hold out for the highest price for sex, which is marriage.” Today, that is a high-risk strategy, Mr. Regnerus explained, using a housing-market analogy: “You can’t just decide that your house is worth $500,000 if everyone else is getting $200,000. The price of sex is pretty low.”

Since when you do need to test ride a Ferrari to know it is a great car? Find the right woman by being the right man and I’m sure the sex will work itself out. You’ll have a lifetime of practice.

I thought Ferrari’s were amazing cars. Then I got in one. Cramped, loud and fun to drive once, but not for a lifetime. I would now never buy a Ferrari.
Besides if God didn’t want us to test drive a Ferrari, why did have us getting so excited about driving in our teens and hitting our driving prime long before we should ever consider buying a car. Oh, I know. Because “God” works in mysterious ways.

No bitterness there, eh, Glenn? My point has nothing to do with Ferrari’s. It is about a woman’s worth.
Who says getting married past your teens is the right thing to do? We are the only generation in history that hasn’t. The same thing goes for “dating”. That’s a recent concept.
How have these “modern” things worked out for millions of us? Simply put, they haven’t. We have half the adult population unmarried (not by choice for 99% of them), divorce, single-parent families, poverty, broken lives and hearts, violence, and a whole host of other social ills.
I am only in business because of this failed 20th-21st Century experiment.
Maybe God doesn’t work in mysterious ways, after all. Maybe we simply aren’t following the manual any more.
Hmmm?

I like Ferraris.

That’s because you’re married to one. Me too:)
