Over sex and over here: US virgins to preach restraint to British teens

Young Americans pledged to sexual purity are bringing their Silver Ring Thing road show to the UK. Nicholas Pyke and Andy McSmith get a preview
09 May 2004

America's moral right, backed with massive funding from George Bush, is to target British teenagers in a mission to protect their virginity.

The Silver Ring Thing movement, which preaches a gospel of sexual purity before marriage, will this week launch a seven-city tour of the UK and Ireland. A young crew of virgins will be flown over to spread the word.

Um, you have to be a virgin to go on this trip. Sorry :)

"True Love Waits"
 
I did hear something about that on the news recently, yes. :D

I don't rate their chances of success particularly high.

Of course it won't work. If you're gonna do it, you'll do it. If you're not, you're not. I can't tell you how many people I knew that signed "True Love Waits" or similar statements became pregnant out of wedlock or were sexually promiscuous. We were all pressured to sign them (in a public school, no less!) in 7th or 8th grade. I'd venture to say 95% didn't hold to it.
From what I know (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) British culture is less tolerant of evangelical types. I really don't see how these people will make any sort of impact. I know I'd have been taken aback if a group of kids from the UK came to my school and told me what not to do!
