The parent poster implied that people were highly bound by their religion; I simply offered a counterexample. I am not saying that abstinence until marriage never happens.

This is not relevant since the teaching is abstinence until marriage, not abstinence until college.

You offered a counterargument. > This is not relevant since the teaching is abstinence until marriage, not abstinence until college. A common effect of religious influence is delayed sexual exploration (i.e., later than what's natural given human biological development). The fact that you need this to be explained to you shows that you aren't aware of the phenomenon we're discussing. It's something that's very hard to understand if you haven't lived it.
