Be chaste, or be chastised
A drive by a Christian-based group to promote virginity disturbs me because of how it is using morality and religion to warn the young against sex
By Karl Ho
…..In a Nov 23 report, vice president for programmes Joanna Koh-Hoe, 29, was quoted as saying: 'Our message is this: If I have pre-marital sex, I am not a person of good character. In fact, any sex outside of marriage is immoral whatever the age of the person.'…..
Hello? What times and age are we living in? Pre-marital sex does not equate bad character and vice versa, virgins do not equate good character. Besides, not everybody are Christians in Singapore. This does not mean that I approve of promiscuity, just that people should be given the freedom of choice, and materials from which they can make informed choices.
This reminds me. Workaholic, Sleepaholic, Nic-aholic and me were at Embargo last Saturday, where we were chilling out over a few drinks after the movie. I was telling them about this sex blog of a 24 year old Singaporean gal I came across (by pure accident!) when I was surfing the blogs one night. It contains a journal of her escapades, her fantasies and sexually explicit pictures of herself and her boyfriend. Not that I’m a prude, but it’s certainly an eye-opener to actually see that there are Singaporean ladies daring enough to post such things. Brings to mind the infamous Annabelle Chong? For the sake of keeping this blog “clean”, I won’t be providing the link here, but you can email me and ask, if you are interested.
