If everyone abstained from sex before marriage then the 20 million slaves used in the sex trade could be free. There wouldn't be rapings all over the world.

Wouldn't it be the other way round? If sex was available cheaply and plentifully and we didn't have this ridiculous stigma attached to it, then surely rates of rape would reduce.

Or am I missing something?

Yes and no. Rape is about power and control, not sex.

Men don't rape because sex is unavailable. Sex is very available. Rape still happens.

Should have ran "faster"

It might not make much of a difference individually, but I personally believe the world would be a better place if everyone just had one sexual partner.

I'm SOOOO sorry women of the world.......that by choosing to be sexually active, I have allowed the sex slave trade and the rapists to flourish...

I'll stop being sexually independent now.

In Biblical times, once you had sex with the person you were espoused to (engaged to) that was how you became married in God's eyes. There were no licenses, elaborate ceremonies or anything like today's traditions. Today it is the same. When you have sex with somebody you are spiritually marrying them.

Nowadays I do believe it wise for couples to make the commitment to abstain only because if things don't go well during an engagement at least you can leave the relationship without having had that "next level bond" so to speak.

Anyways, I applaud the Daniel Fast and I am going to try it. All technicalities aside, if it worked it worked!

Congrats on your weight loss!

Do I get spiritual alimony from all those partners, then?

You must be spiritually wealthy!

Fasting for spiritual reasons, fine.

For weight loss, not so much. Be prepared for the weight to come right back on when you eat normally again, just like with any very low cal diet.

Daniel was likely a eunuch, never married and had no children.

I did this diet about 3 years ago. I was actually having double vision and a friend suggested this diet. I lost weight AND my vision was completely restored. Thanks for the reminder I am going to get on this again.

So why do women rape then?

Because 3 controversial topics wasn't enough....

Men don't rape because sex is unavailable.

So why do women rape then?

Same reasons, I suspect.

But if you want to argue, we can do that.
