When has sex NOT been a values-related issue? Yes, in every culture, everywhere, sexual behaviors have had values attached. If these kids are religious, they OUGHT to know that the proper context for sex (i.e. the one that doesn't result in illegitimate babies and poverty) is marriage. Yes, that's a values statement. It's an unpopular one these days, but it used to be extremely popular back in the days when children had both a father and a mother and were raised by them together under one roof and enjoyed familial stability as a societal norm. You're right that culture plays a HUGE role in all of this. Our culture SUCKS at providing a solid foundation and future for the children being born into it, and it is because of those values and morals that it has traded in for wanton sexual gratification.
