Re: Soooo....what do we think of purity balls?
I personally think there is something majorly wrong with it. I totally understand a father or mother for that matter wanting their daughter to save themselves for marriage. I also agree with teaching morals...self respect and being involved in their lives. BUT I find it so creepy and sick that a father is that interested and involved in his daughters s*x life. JMO

I'd rather see the Dads connect with their SONS about proper dating and sexual conduct... 
Hmm... giving a whole new meaning to "Purity Balls" right??
But your right, I think parents need to start talking to their sons as well. it seems it's all on the girls

I think the idea of being treated like a princess and expected to be LOVED and RESPECTED by the person they ultimately give themselves to is a wonderful lesson that ALL young girls and women should learn...
I do take issue however, with the idea of signing a covenant...of basically signing your love life and your vagina over to your father for his safe keeping.
there are so many life lessons that are learned when we go through heartaches, broken hearts etc that I think are important to developing our strength and growth. being protected from these things can lead to REAL devastation if God forbid Daddy doesn't find the right guy.
I liken it to our immune system...you need to have some contact with germs so you can learn how to fight them.
same with men

Jess, I am the daughter of a father with three girls (and a son). I seriously think he did not want to admit we actually HAVE vaginas - most fathers don't!

You definitely have a way with words.
I was raised in a very Catholic household and was definitely taught that sex was something that was saved for marriage. However, I was also taught about a loving, forgiving God and was raised by parents who clearly communicated that they would love me no matter what. The thing that bothers me about these balls is what others have said. I don't like the idea that you are seen as tainted, dirty or inadequate if you become sexually active before marriage. I think sending that message to a young girl is FAR more damaging than most sexual encounters she might have, particularly if that message is coming from your father.

Re: Soooo....what do we think of purity balls?
I kinda mentioned this purity ball thing to my Dad last night and he was clearly uncomfortable
He has 3 daughters. No sons 
I remember how mortified he'd be if my Mom asked him to get pads at the store for her
