Are virgins in fashion again?
Article Abstract:
The vast majority of Britons do not believe that sex before marriage is always wrong, but a larger number feel that it is mostly or sometimes wrong. It is generally felt that it is impossible to build a strong relationship with someone if you do not know them sexually, and that waiting for marriage is therefore the wrong approach, especially as many young women are now not sure whether they wish to marry at all. In contrast, those who support sex only within marriage believe that sex is very precious and should therefore be saved for the person to whom a commitment is being made.

Therapists can traumatise the victims, too
Article Abstract:
It is generally widely accepted in the UK that the victim of a tragedy such as a road accident or a bereavement can be helped to come to terms with what has happened by talking to a counsellor. However, evidence is also emerging that there may be benefits associated with not releasing one's feelings. It is also possible that some victims cope better by talking to their friends or members of their family, rather than to a trained professional.
