"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." (1 Cor. 6:18)

One out of five Americans now suffers from a sexual disease. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, 56 million people in the United States are infected with a sexually transmitted disease, and more than half of those sufferers have sexual diseases that are incurable. These awesome statistics mean that young women and men have a one out of five chance of getting a spouse (or significant other) who is infected. Those are pretty depressing odds. You wouldn't ride in an airplane if you had a one-in-five chance of crashing. Conclusion? "Safe sex" isn't safe; it's high-risk. "Free sex" isn't free; it's very costly. The only safe sex is chastity until marriage and fidelity afterward. (From Phyllis Schlafly)

Not only does one face the danger of being infected by some dreadful disease when he commits fornication, but he sins against Almighty God. When Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph, he responded, "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Gen. 39:9) God Himself makes the rules and we would be exceedingly wise to abide by them.
