An epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, a cancerous traffic in child pornography, a tidal wave of teen pregnancy, a holocaust of abortion, a skyrocketing divorce rate, and a plague of sexual abuse. The traditional two-parent family in America is coming apart at the seems. America is at the mercy of a sex-drive gone mad. Freud was correct in that the libido is very powerful. He was wrong in advocating that it should be allowed unbridled freedom.
Every individual experiences the power of the sex drive as it develops during puberty.
It is important that during this time a person realize that their mind is more powerful than their sexual urges. Adolescence is the period to learn self-control. To master the sex drive, young people need to understand the ideal of true love-a mature loving man and woman united in an unbreakable bond of love. If they preserve their purity until marriage, they will find fulfillment in their relationship with their spouse and the sexual relationship will be a powerful force sealing the bond of love. Young people who misuse their sexuality damage their ability to form a total loving union with a spouse.
