monogamy

I think there should be clubs in colleges, high schools, maybe even middle schools called, simply, 'Monogamy.' I think monogamy is really what most kids want, especially if their parents seem to have successful marriages. These clubs would be totally voluntary, not affiliated with any religion, but the kids who join them would basically be saying, 'I want to find a life partner and have children and a family. I'm not interested in promiscuous sex.'

The popular culture of today is this 'hookup' culture, which tells kids that they should try to be as promiscuous as possible with as many people as possible. If it results in pregnancy, that's a mistake. On the other hand, you might not want to 'take precautions' if that will interfere with your sexual pleasure. This is the culture that Hollywood tries to foist on us, particularly on our children.

But I don't think this is what most young people actually want. This hookup culture tries to pressure girls, in particular, into having casual sex when they may not want that at all. 'Monogamy' would be a cultural alternative that would allow these young people to avoid that pressure.
