The scene is the same in Christian youth groups of all denominational lines. The youth leader holds up the object of a purity: a pristine rose, a paperclip with elegant, crafted curves. It indicates the entrance of sexual sin and shame: greedy fingers that disfigure the fragile flower, violent grasp that bends the paperclip beyond repair. The leader explains that sexual sin is the one thing that irreversibly damages you, that makes you “damaged goods,” that could ruin your relationships and your spiritual path for the rest of your life. Christianity is a key factor influencing U.S. culture regarding youth sexuality. Methods for educating young people in mainline Protestant denominations about their spiritual obligations regarding sexuality are misguided and laced with weak theology, leading to risky sexual behavior and the fetishization of purity. Many illustrations described in Christian youth curricula to demonstrate the value of purity depict having sex as a form of ruining oneself. One in particular “indirectly compares [teens who have had sex] to a glass of water that every child in the room has spit into” (McFarlan-Miller). This develops a culture according to which a person's entire worth depends on the preservation of his virginity. Live Different is a series of lessons published for youth groups. This program teaches young people to only have sex in the “right place” and at the “right time”. He answers his own questions by saying that the right place and time is within the limits of marriage and when you are older. One of the main scriptural points of the lesson is taken from the Song of Songs which expresses that the heart should not "stir up love." until he wants it' and claims that "this verse indicates that there is a right time for "love" to be at the center of the card...Opposing faces and constant conflicts."
