I know that my belief that sex should wait ’til marriage is not shared with many other students on campus.
But I would have to hope that people would not want something that, I think, basically belongs in a pornographic magazine.

And maybe it is not possible for everyone to keep it in their pants. But I know that it is not impossible.
