This is an interesting subject. I have spent past few years working with the American Born Cute Nepali's (ABCN’s) !
The tradition from back home was no sex before marriage. And in olden times that was not very hard to achieve. Because it was not easy for a man and a woman to have time and space available to engage in sex. Second there was fear of being caught because of unwanted pregnancy. Third there was fear of bringing shame to the whole family if caught. Fourth the marriage age was much younger than nowadays.
The degree of inhibition was enough for so many of youth to be able to control the desire. In spite of this there were some who did engage in pre marital sex. Females specially had to be extra careful because there were not too many man willing to marry a non-virgin. (Of course you always wondered about Mata Kunti giving birth to Karna and having to hide the fact.)
That was back in 1970 and more than 10,000 miles away. We live in new millennium in the United States of America. I hope not to shock any nepalese Parents but more than 50 percent of our kids become sexually active before 19 years of age. Of course this is not base on any controlled study but more from personal discussion with hundreds kids. The bottom line is when two young people are together alone and hormones are bubbling, it is very difficult to stay in control.
guys please post your thoughts
