As a supplement to Yr Editrix's Sunday column on the "counseling" recommended by the Duggar family's homeschooling guru, we thought we'd take a look back at some other homeschooling wisdom regarding sex education for good little Christian children. Throughout all of it runs this weird notion of "purity": sex is dirty and nasty and sinful except when it's done by a man and a woman joined together by God, in which case it is a wonderful blessed thing that results in lots of Christian babies. No wonder fundamentalists are all obsessed with who's putting their naughtybits where. And so we get creepy stuff like "purity balls," where teen girls go to a prom with their dads and promise to stay virgins until they're married, and they get all dressed up like Purity Tarts, and there is

God has a lot to say about nakedness. In Leviticus 18, the whole chapter deals with nakedness. He emphasizes again and again the danger of being careless about covering up. He plainly declares that we are not to uncover the nakedness of “any that is near of kin.”
Once you're married, ain't your spouse 'near of kin'? Is this verse why some fundamentalist Christian and Jewish sects supposedly only fuck through holes in the sheets? Or is that an urban myth?

He tried, but Trump sued for infringement.
Or if Jesus showed up and made them follow his actual teachings.
When xtians masturbate do they get hairy psalms?
Excuse me, "purity balls" is a crude term, and beneath the dignity of my b'loved Wonkette! The correct term is purity testicles! You're welcome.
