Q&A: Losing virginity doesn't eliminate the point of sexual purity going forward. The principle of "I already blew it so why bother" would justify stealing cars forever after the first theft. Sexual faithfulness continues to matter after sexual failure.

Mike's student ministry experience: many young people felt virginity loss meant purity was over. But you wouldn't say "I stole one car, so why not steal more?" Sexual purity isn't a binary you-have-it-or-you-don't; faithfulness continues to be the call even after failure.
