<p>CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sometime between the founding of a student-run porn magazine and the day the campus health center advertised "Free Lube," Harvard University seniors Sarah Kinsella and Justin Murray decided to fight back against what they see as too much mindless sex at the Ivy League school.</p>
<p>They founded a student group called True Love Revolution to promote abstinence on campus. The group, created earlier this school year, has more than 90 members on its Facebook.com page and drew about half that many to an ice cream social.</p>
<p>Nice to see some reaction to the current climate on campus. Some reactions are predictable, some predictably disappointing. I guess it depends on whether you see hooking up as liberating or degrading to women.</p>
<p>I think sex like religion is personal.
I don't see the choice to have it as either liberating or degrading just as I don't see the choice to abstain as such.
I believe in having information and resources available to facilitate choice & I would encourage students who aren't ready/interested in a relationship- taking responsibilty for possible repercussions of having sex, to take matters into their own hands ;)</p>
<p>I think its too bad that some students don't feel comfortable enough apparently with their own choices, that they feel they need to put down those who make other choices.</p>
<p>However, I would comment that those who have decided not be be sexually active while in college, can be very condesending and judgmental as well about others who have made other choices.
I think that everyone should be encouraged to do what is best for them, and should be supportive of other students trying to make their own choices.</p>
<p>My freshman year in college, one of my classmates (who liked to do such things) organized a massive "More Work, Less Sex!" rally. We got several hundred freshmen and onlookers assembled in front of our dorm to demand this. It was all kinds of fun.</p>
<p>I had the honor of writing the official anthem of the rally:</p>
<p>O dutiful, and patiently
We work and shall not waste,
New Pilgrims, universally
So diligent and chaste!
America, America,
Thy children unperplex.
Release our souls from out these holes
With More Work and Less Sex!</p>
<p>(Of course, we did not have as much of either as we pretended.)</p>
<p>Oh, this is college oriented. If it had been high school I would have suggested that membership in the chess club did a pretty good job at my school. ;) Just kidding folks. We need some relief around here.</p>
<p>Individuals' choices as to whether or not to have sex, or to abstain, should be just that, their choices. Forming clubs to 'promote' abstinence, or sexual activity, is unnecessary. It's no one's business what someone else's choice is.</p>
