I hate that article. It draws only on the more extreme / weird side of things. The majority of girls (and guys) who want to wait till they're married to have sex are pretty ordinary people. Yes, they may think that sex before marriage is wrong, but they don't force their beliefs on everyone else. And no, they're not all "repressed". Not having sex doesn't mean that you have to repress your sexuality; they're not the same thing. Sexuality is a major part of who you are, you don't have to have sex in order to express it. Also, not believing in sex before marriage doesn't mean that you think of sex in general as a bad thing. Or that you think of everyone who's had sex as a "dirty slut". But of course, none of that makes good 'news'.
Also, from experience, sleeping with different people can do a hell of a lot of damage, but that's just put down to personal choice. And yet purity pledges are wrong? Riiight.
