Haha..I would say that people with the right upbring would not
engage in premarital sex.
With regards to this thread, I personally find that the young
people of today are generally more open (to sex etc.) as compared
to their older siblings. Perhaps it is caused by the exposure to
the various source of media i.e. in movies and dramas (such as
Desperate housewives), it is not uncommon to see parts of a sex
scenes or people treating sex as a casual matter. Also these days,
sex is commercialised as a product and used to sell items ("sex
sells", a term always used). Go to town and you'll notice that
novelty condom shops are no longer rare sights. These are some of
the things that were rare and would have been made a big hoo-ha
during our parents' time.
As for your friend, I'm sorry to hear that. Like others have
mentioned, people do change over time. Or perhaps her breakup from
her ex-boyfriend and/or some other incidents could have triggered
and impacted her so much that she lost that sense of 'self-worth'
at that period of time, and thus did things like sleeping around
(no offence). Nevertheless, it's time to show your true friendship
and lend her your support!
Regards,
