KELLER Is There No Decency Left? OPP Report Clinton News-Racorci, Thursday, April 15, 1971 9 Sometimes when I sit down to write this column I haven't a clue what to say and the result shows it I'm sure. Other times — like today — I'm ready to write this column and more than that, I welcome the opportunity I have to say what I think about certain matters. The subject this week is about pre-marital sex and if you are shocked by plain talk, I'd suggest you close up the newspaper right now before your face starts to burn with embarrassment, I've been hearing a great deal in recent months concerning the high rate of "shacking up" at the university level. There have been quite a few funny — and some not so funny — jokes about fellows and girls leaving home for the very , first time and striking off to university for a go at modern living. I took it all with a grain of salt, knowing that talk is cheap and hoping against hope that most' of it was just that — cheap talk. A few weeks ago, my husband and. I were visited by a guy and a gal from a nearby university who admitted they were' "living together" just as most of their friends at school were' doing. They explained they were young and at the height of their sexual eagerness. They said it wasn't a bed-hopping kind of relationship but rather a permissive social thing which made it perfectly harmless for a boy ,and girl with mutual admiration for each other to sleep together and enjoy all the benefits of a normal, free-wheeling life, They made it abundantly clear that in order to be a part of today's society, one must change his or her moral code .,.. and that those who didn't 'swing' were definitely in the minority (and a little strange at that!). I listened intently. I'm alWays interested in the thoughts behind actions which are a little less than conventional by my way of thinking ..., and sometimes, if you let folks talk long enough, they will hang themselves before they have said too much. It was interesting to note from the • conversation which ftlowed that this sexual edom wasn'fgo$78-6 aft' aII trlinirall, it demanded that a decision be made and once the couple had decided won pre-marital sex as a way of life, it could not be revoked, Almost like signing a marriage eontract, they said. Secondly, the whole relationship put an unnecessary amount of stress and strain upon the couple. Very often both partners knew it was a kind of competition — a dangerous game which could easily wind up in heartbreak and disaster for either the male or the female. While there was no thought for pregnancy now that 'the pill' is dispensed so freely on campus, it made success in lovemaking an absolute must. To fail at it was nothing short of social suicide because that type of news travels quickly in a community where sexual patterns are uppermost in the minds of everyone. In the third place, there was no solid framework erected within which a fetal sexual union could be less than great, no lasting agreement whereby love could grow and flourish and take the edge off emotional blockages which could prove harmful to eventual satisfaction. Fourth, and probably most important, it set a couple aside from what they've undoubtedly been taught at home .... and more times than not, it left one or the other of them completely divorced from his or her family, rejected by loving mothers and fathers who wanted only the good life for their kids. The couple to whom I refer are planning a marriage in late spring. No. They do not have to marry. They may even believe they love each other ..,. but I challenge they will never really know until it is too late. They have lept into bed to satisfy an immediate human urge and have found they are now used material, burned out shells which have no other choice but to continue what was begun. through a whim of modern-day society. Why have a marriage, I wonder? They have played house now for several months. The bride has lost her blush, the honeymoon is over and the magic has been forfeited. Marriage won't restore it. Nothing will. It is all over for those silly kids who could probably have really discovered: Wane* irgirlbtitft had they'' done things the old-fashioned, never-been-improved-upon way. Captain R.
