I must add something here for all of us who are single. Some of you might have lost your "virginity" at one point in your life, but there is no reason you can not ask forgiveness and from this day forward keep your "puritity" until the mate that God has set aside for you comes into your life and you are married. I myself want it all to be special with the person God gives to me.
Tips for Remaining Sexually Pure
by National Coalition for the Protection of Children
Develop your own personal boundaries for sexual activity.
Make a choice to realign your peer group to include like-minded students who are committed to honoring God and their own personal boundaries in their character and conduct.
Find an accountability partner with whom you can be completely open, honest, and vulnerable who can help keep you from falling into temptation that could lead to sexual activity.
Share your pledge of sexual purity with significant relationships (parents, dates, close friends) to help underscore the seriousness of your commitment.
Make careful decisions about whom to date and where dating activity takes place.
If you make a bad choice, promptly admit it and get back on track.
Remind yourself often that premarital sexual activity can result in unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted disease, emotional problems, and spiritual problems, to name a few of the consequences.
Walk away, use the telephone, or call a parent or friend if you find yourself in a compromising situation.
Be of help to a friend in his or her fight to remain sexually pure.
Avoid all drugs and situations where they are likely to be present.
Avoid all drinking situations or occasions.
Don’t let yourself become overly dependent on another person.
Seek knowledgeable help when you feel weak.
Live in TODAY, not yesterday.
When in doubt, ask questions. The only stupid question is the one not asked.
Be willing to go to any lengths to stay sexually pure.
Be honest and consistent. These behaviors are fundamental to maintaining sexual purity.
