User talk:Samuelcasey/Premarital sex

This topic is one I thought would be very hard to add too but your contributions definitely help expand the article with good background that is very prevalent to the topic. Something interesting to research but maybe not super relevant is the purity culture that is generated from these beliefs mainly in Christianity with items such as purity rings and religious ceremonies to 'restore' virginity. You manage the neutral tone and present the facts well and your sourcing of information is varied and widely utilized. Something interesting to look at in the terms of the United states section might also be location, there might be more sexual acceptance and openness in cities and suburbs while there might be less openness in small towns and farming communities. Also you mention universities maybe adding that some enforce policies based around gender and allowance of the other gender in rooms to avoid sexual activity. It may just be me but this line here "Views on premarital sex are often shaped by religious teachings and beliefs, in part because ancient religious texts forbid it.[4][5] Generally, people who actively practice religion are less likely to engage in premarital sex or at least go longer before having sex for the first time." seems more essay like than other parts of your article just with wording like generally, in part, often. They make it seem like there is more room for something else to possibly be a larger issue even with the sourcing. This also may be my lack of experience in editing encyclopedic entries but it is something that caught my eye on a few rereads. Other than that this is very interesting and well supported! Great work! I look forward to see how you expand forward!
