Yeah, you've heard it before—save sex for marriage. But what you maybe haven't heard is a good reason why you should save sex for marriage. Well, here's why:

Let's talk about an imaginary guy named Stuart. Stuart has spent much of his high school life dreaming of a car. Not just any car, but the car, the one that would make him the envy of everyone in town. The car that would win him dates with beautiful girls. The car that would earn him the title, "Coolest of the Cool."

Now let's say Stuart's parents indulge him and give him this car of cars for his birthday. Imagine the joy, the amazement, the sheer bliss in Stuart's heart as he looks at his dream car. For the rest of the day, Stuart stands in the driveway admiring this incredible gift. Then he gets an idea …

The next morning Stuart wakes up his parents early. "Come and see the car!" he says excitedly. The three of them walk out to the driveway. Stuart's father gasps. His mother nearly faints. Before them is Stuart's car. The hood is open, the engine removed and the empty cavity filled with dirt and live plants. Inside the car, Stuart's parents see tropical fish swimming past the windows and through the steering wheel. And as they make their way to the back end of the car, Stuart's father can only shake his head at what he sees. In the trunk, Stuart has installed wooden shelves where he has proudly displayed his large collection of CDs.
