You take two 18 year olds who are attracted to each other, and they WILL find a way to ####. It's just nature.
Now if you taught them sex is bad, immoral and a sin, they won't know about safe sex and contraceptives, or will feel ashamed to use them. They get pregnant and either get abortions behind their parents' backs, or their lives are ruined by an unwanted baby.
Now if you taught them about choices, commitment to a partner, consequences, contraceptives, the two 18-year olds probably have some awkward sex, leave embarrassed, and there is nothing but some hurt feelings, but no baby and no abortion. And isn't that what this is all about?

The point is the two 18 year olds should be taught be their God-loving parents and be responsible enough (and scared into) to know not to have sex. And it's not just the church. In countries like India where they have a caste system, a girl is damaged goods and dishonors the family if they lose their virginity. Or in Asia, a girl who has lost her virginity, isn't going to be able to marry into a affluent family. The mother in law would never allow it. Again, all these mechanisms are about power. And more often than not, it's the women, the mother, welding that power. Women taking away other women's rights.
You guys are white, you don't deal with these issues
