I got a call yesterday about possibly doing one of these. It is like a father daughter dance with a twist. The girls sign pledges to remain virgins until they get married.

I'd feel like a hippocrite. Spent most of my young adult life battling this sort of mentality........

Could be "interesting".

All kidding aside, do you think that this sort of thing will lead to the girls getting married at an earlier age to PERHAPS the wrong guy?

It's actually a very upscale event, big cakes, siut and tie affair........ nice dinner.

They need to see if they can generate enough interest.

Purity Balls . . .

Glamour magazine did a huge write up about the Purity Ball phenomenon. Check it out here:

I personally would turn down the event . . . seeing fathers pledge to be warriors of their daughters purity would make me uncomfortable.

If I were you Papa . . . I would ask more questions and see if it is something that you would be comfortable with. They do seem to be very upscale events that could be very profitable for you.

Keep us posted either way!!

Good Luck!!!

I wouldn't support such a function...

Come on guys, who buys a car without a test drive???

(toungue in cheek humor)

I'd like to see the playlist for this party. Ms. NewBooty anyone?

Anyway if she aint good enough for her ken folks why would ya want her anyway..

So... ... ..if I got this right,
............ it's like a coming out party for people who are staying in?

I have to agree with Amber on this one, as a father I would say the thought of getting involved in my daughters sexuality would be very icky.

What kind of music would you play at these events... Steve very true, as an 18 yr old... I can imagine me feeling awkward, could be worse for a girl.

50 Cents - Candy Shop eh eh!

This has got to be awkward and uncomfortable. At least in my opinion. It would be better to have the mother involved rather than daddio.

A good intro song would be "Like A Virgin"

NOW I've seen it ALL!
does this mean there are no boys allowed other than the fathers at this ball? if there are boys, can they go near the girls? any slow dances? if so...wouldn't that be like, a take a look at what you can`t have boyz Ball!

I'm a protective father, and I'll kick any guy's azz if he goes near my daughter (like AL Bundy when he walks them out), but
I can`t get involved in her.......well you know what life if shes like 18 even if she's not married then.

well, I go to one of the top private Highschools in nj. It happens to be a catholic (all boys) school. pretty much sucks most of the time. Anyway, we had speakers come in and talk to us about chastity and I believe he and she went to the all girls schools as well. At the end of the presentation, they passed out cards, saying that you pledged to remain a virgin. You could sign it if you wanted to, although you didn't have to. You kept it to yourself and no parents are involved, and noone knew whether or not you signed it. I am assuming this could also be the same type of thing.

There are a lot of kids my age who are sexually active, however there are many more who choose to stay virgins. The number of kids who are not having intercourse is growing and growing. Here is a facebook group explaining this. http://hs.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2238118806

I think the cause is a good one. From a guys point of view, how would you feel knowing your future wife is involved with another guy (or girl). Well, girl is a different story. But how would you feel about knowing your daughter was in the same position.

Now, if the argument is about the father/daughter thing, IMHO the decision should be that of the girl (or guy) and not the parent. This is a choice they have to make on their own. The parent should talk to them about it (being supportive, not mean).

I don't think I need to get into the consequences of teen sexual relationships.

Just My Opinion,

Chris,

Believe me the consequences of teen sexual relationships have been known for thousands of years.

Steve, touche! But, has a particular teen been around for "thousands of years". Sometimes kids need to hear something their parents miss, would you agree parents are lacking in some areas than when you were a lad?
