What happened to the generation of times before? Times when purity was glorified and whatnot. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
Is a proper man the one that goes out and bangs chicks senselessly? Or is a proper man the gentlemen who has a little more respect for women than seeing them as just a piece?
What is it with you and extremes?

It just so happens that I am a Christian and this has played a large part in my decision making. Can't help but notice that this generation, in comparison to others, happen to be getting around a lot more often. It seems that religious people are of a dying breed (at least those who I've been exposed to in my life).
You can notice that, but you can't condemn her for it. And I would argue that it's not religion that necessarily keeps people chaste, nor should it be a reason for you to dismiss those who don't hold the same values. Sure there can be problems in your relationship, but you sound like you're not even giving it a chance based on what you've "heard".
I can safely say that I myself will keep my sexual partners countable on my one hand in total (as in my whole life), and I'm deadly atheist. And my sexual encounters will all be within monogamous relationships. Compared to your chastely self, I must seem like I get around a lot too, but I really don't consider myself to be what you'd call a slut at all. I have only had one sexual partner so far and I've been with him for 5 years. Hardly slutty at all.
I link sex with love and I don't necessarily believe it will be with one person at a certain marriageable age. But I am understanding to those who don't link the two together, and those who feel that it will only be with one person. I don't look down on them at all as if it is wrong and immoral.
Part of being Christian (I use to be one) is to be understanding and tolerant. Try to see other people's differing morals in a less negative way. Or a less extreme way. I just find that your attitude about everyone "whoring themselves" really condescending. Just be okay with it. You can still have wonderful relationships with a person who has a different sexual history than you.
