Under-sexed and over here

摘要

Teaching British teenagers sexual abstinence might seem like training a wolf to eat breakfast cereal, but Denny Pattyn, founder of the Silver Ring Thing in America, is giving it a try. Mr Pattyn came over to Britain this week to draw attention to the organisation's British tour in June, when he will be visiting cities with groups of virginal Americans in the hope of persuading teenagers here to take a pledge abstaining from sex before marriage. Those who do will get a silver ring with a biblical inscription, which they then give to their beloved on their wedding day.
