Changing the terminology of teen sexuality

Does the word “abstinence” truly reflect what we’re trying to teach teens about sexuality? Some suggest the word “postponement” as a substitute–thanks for the tip Joyce!

I like the new term. It suggests that abstinence now is only one piece of the bigger puzzle of human sexuality that God has given us. And it’s less politically-charged.

What do you think?
