Who is responsible for the information presented in this entry claiming pledges of virginity have a positive affect on young people? If your publication believes this to be factual I would be very interested in seeing the evidence that supports your coming to this conclusion.

Thank you, Richard, for your comment.
First, I would remind you that the article is talking about pledges of virginity prior to marriage, not as a lifelong commitment. When talking about the benefits of virginity, these are also limited to premarital celibacy. Naturally, sexual relationships are valued within marriage!
I have updated the references in the article and included several which provide details of the benefits of virginity and virginity pledges.
Thank you again for taking the time to help make NWE a valuable information resource.
