Pledging abstinence until marriage can be dangerous.  
  
Huh?! You read that right! The reality is that while you may have decided to save sex for marriage, you may still be having physical encounters--just not going all the way. But being a "technical virgin" isn't just risky--did you know you could still contract an STD or get pregnant?--it can wreak havoc on your emotions and your spirit. Even innocent playing around, like back rubs or tickle fights, could be setting the stage for something more. Hayley DiMarco explains why.  
  
Technical Virgin also answers questions you might be afraid to ask.   
  
-Have I gone too far?  
-What is too far?  
-If I've messed up, will God forgive me?  
-What should I do from now on?  
  
Knowing when to draw the line will help save you the pain "everything but sex" can bring. This book can help you start over with a clean slate if you've already "messed up" and keep your purity intact if you're just starting to get physical with guys. Because purity doesn't have room for compromise.

Catalog excerpt:  
  
There's an epidemic going on in schools today that has to be addressed. Lots of grown-ups are afraid to talk about it because it just seems too freaky. But I'm not one of them. If we want to get real with ourselves and our God we have to get real about sex. We can't keep on lying to ourselves as if that makes everything okay, because it doesn't. Why are more and more "technical virgins" having more and more sexual encounters? And what does God think about the "technical virgin" anyway? Is he all excited that you found a loophole? Is he happy you are having fun and doing what your body feels like doing?  
  
Let's take a logical look at sex and find out if we are going wrong, where we are going wrong, and how to get back on track.

Every teenage girl craves male attention. But how does she know when and where to draw the line? What if she's already stepped over that line? And how can she find her way back? In a culture where hookups and friends-with-benefits are commonplace, how far is too far when it comes to the physical?  
  
The technical virgin, a term becoming all too familiar with Christian teens, is someone who believes in abstinence but allows loopholes in their physical relationships, thereby compromising true purity. In this new book, Hayley DiMarco takes a look at what purity really is. With her straightforward, in-your-face writing, she shows girls  
  
\- what they are really saying about themselves through their sexy actions   
\- what happens when purity is reduced to a technicality   
\- what words like abstinence and commitment really mean   
\- what God says on the subject of purity   
  
With candid advice, personal insight, and tough truth from God's Word, Hayley DiMarco will help teen girls understand who they are so they can make informed, godly decisions about purity and sex.

How far is too far? The best-selling author of Sexy Girls tackles love, romance, sex, and where to draw the line. A new teen release from Hungry Planet.
