Alex(his son) rightfully so gets offended when abstinent only people say kids totally ruin your life a nd will for teen... He is living proof that is not so. He also gets offended because in essence Alex feels the abstinent only agenda is sayinjg he should have never existed. I see this from both sides of the fence.1 true you shouldn't have promiscuos sex and from his view.i'm a moderate on this view due to this

ok but what abotu people who say they are glad they didn't wait. You see my cousin became a teen dad. When asked if he could relive that night he'd change anything . He said no. He said if he had chosen not to have sex as a teen. he would have never had his wonderful son who is now 13. ( fyi his son isn't liviong in poverty or anything. he is a great kid and my cousin wwent to college and a cpa despite being a dad at the same time)

Look, if you're using the Jesus card on the internet, you're not convincing anyone of anything. I don't care if you believe in a savior or not, but you can't use it as an excuse to make me adopt any behaviors. And when I say me, I mean "most youtube users".

Also, calm down when you reply to comments. That is honest advice, because trolls love the kinds of things you say in your comments.

@Sayuyagami1001 ok dear God bless

@kinneybear226k They got it because there tend to be two sides to this. The pro-sex, or then no-sex-until-marriage. My belief is that if you're beliefs about sex are four words or shorter, you're obviously not thinking hard enough. I fully support whatever you want to do, as long as you don't try to pressure me OUT of having sex.

@swedisagnostic okay i dont think u understood me this is when i was i believe 17 at the time i wasnt ready for sex i NEVER said sex was bad i mean GOD created it.. i meant emotionally i wasnt ready because i know that it is not only a physical thing but also a emtional thing SEX is beautifull. i am STILL a virgin but im waiting for that right person i dont understand how anyone got from this video that i SHUN sex!

@kinneybear226k There is a difference between intimacy and sex, but yes you should regret it.

There is absolutely nothing better than waking up beside someone, it´s the best anti-depression medicine in the world.

To be alone is the worst punishment god created for man, it can kill you.
