Yes, Loyal Readers®, apparently that threat is S-E-X.
The abstinence advocates in this world have created creepy Purity Balls to further protect their kids from the evil S-E-X. Never mind that these rituals are aimed only at father-daughter combos (Boys must be protectors and don't have to worry about purity. Girls, you're all about the purity) but abstinence pledges and the like are ridiculous to begin with. As noted here, they simply don't work.
We have all learned that Prohibition does not work. If we don't talk about it and make S-E-X out to be the "BIG EVIL", guess what, the kids will want to do it more! Now, I am definitely an advocate of good sexual health and smart sexual choices. Really, I believe that all parents should arm their children with the knowledge to make smart choices regarding how and when they have sex. That way, if these kids want to remain chaste, at least it is a conscious, thorough decision. Not one made because they fear god and their families will hate them.

Ha. When I read 'purity balls' the first time I was totally thinking of something else.
