The Stickiness

I was browsing the news and started reading this article on abstinence-only sex education. All pretty standard stuff, until I came across this bit:

“You have to look at why sex was created,” Eric Love, the director of the East Texas Abstinence Program, which runs Virginity Rules, said one day, the sounds of Christian contemporary music humming faintly in his Longview office. “Sex was designed to bond two people together.”
To make the point, Mr. Love grabbed a tape dispenser and snapped off two fresh pieces. He slapped them to his filing cabinet and the floor; they trapped dirt, lint, a small metal bolt. “Now when it comes time for them to get married, the marriage pulls apart so easily,” he said, trying to unite the grimy strips. “Why? Because they gave the stickiness away.”


So, the moral of the story: Don't give the stickiness away.

Another moronic comment from Texas:

I don't think this was an especially well controlled study.
I think this guy should further investigate the significance of that bolt.
