What's Not So Great about Great Sex -- Appendix: List of Campaign Leaders -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexEven though they are immersed in sex-saturated society, millions of teens are pledging to remain virgins until their wedding night. How are evangelical Christians persuading young people to wait until marriage? Christine J. Gardner looks closely at the language of the chastity movement and discovers a savvy campaign that uses sex to "sell" abstinence. Drawing from interviews with evangelical leaders and teenagers, she examines the strategy to shift from a negative "just say no" approach to a positive one: "just say yes" to great sex within marriage. Making Chastity Sexy sheds new light on an abstinence campaign that has successfully recast a traditionally feminist idea-"my body, my choice"-into a powerful message, but one that Gardner suggests may ultimately reduce evangelicalism's transformative power. Focusing on the United States, her study also includes a comparative dimension by examining the export of this evangelical agenda to sub-Saharan Africa.Sex instruction for teenagers - Religious aspects - ChristianitySex instruction for teenagers -- Religious aspects -- ChristianitySexual abstinence - Religious aspects - ChristianitySexual abstinence -- Religious aspects -- ChristianitySexual abstinence - Study and teaching - United StatesSexual abstinence -- Study and teaching -- United StatesTeenagers - Sexual behavior - United StatesTeenagers -- Sexual behavior -- United StatesSexual abstinenceChristianityReligious aspectsUnited StatesSexual abstinenceStudy and teachingUnited StatesTeenagersSexual behaviorSex instruction for teenagersReligious aspectsChristianityGender & Ethnic StudiesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCGender Studies & SexualityHILCCabstinence campaigns.american society.american teens.chastity movement.chastity.christian education.evangelical christians.evangelical leaders.feminist ideals.gender and sexuality.gender politics.interviews.marriage and sex.modern society.nonfiction study.persuasion.pledge of abstinence.rhetorical analysis.sex and relationships.sex saturated world.sex.sociology.sub saharan africa.theology.united states.virginity.young people.Sex instruction for teenagers - Religious aspects - Christianity.Sex instruction for teenagers -- Religious aspects -- Christianity.Sexual abstinence - Religious aspects - Christianity.Sexual abstinence -- Religious aspects -- Christianity.Sexual abstinence - Study and teaching - United States.Sexual abstinence -- Study and teaching -- United States.Teenagers - Sexual behavior - United States.Teenagers -- Sexual behavior -- United States.Sexual abstinenceChristianityReligious aspectsSexual abstinenceStudy and teachingTeenagersSexual behaviorSex instruction for teenagersReligious aspectsChristianityGender & Ethnic StudiesSocial SciencesGender Studies & Sexuality261.8/35708350973Gardner Christine J., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1008247DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910781486703321Making Chastity Sexy2325128UNINA
