You're right, purity seems like a fairly relative term these days. Scripture does state though that the level of purity God asks of his followers is 'Not even a hint" (Ephesians 5:3). And this isn't really about any physical acts, but a state of the heart. <br/><br/>You're right, millions are dying today due to STD's. Education about safe sex, I think, is fantastic and much needed. But I think it would be falling short of what God fully desires of us. Not just physical healing, but the healing of mental, emotional, and spiritual damage caused by the lusts of the human heart. <br/><br/>and I think that starts with one person at a time. Us, freeing ourselves from the bondages of impurity, and in turn freeing others to live the lives that God has called them to. Hey John D, thanks for your comments.

(Oral sex counts too.) I'm not so sure the "purity" will affect what people can do. People can do a great many things even if they have sex.<br/><br/>The important thing would be stopping the spreading of STDs. AIDs is killing 44+ million people around the world. Educating the youth as well (as well as the adults) on having safe sex should be what's important I think. Yeah but how pure is it?
