Publisher's Synopsis

With widespread opposition against sexuality, the traditional ideals of purity and abstinence are showing up around the U.S. Introduced in the documentary, 'The Purity Myth', is the belief that pushing purity and abstinence on the youth will return our civilisation back to the traditional gender roles. However, this subject brings other issues to the table including issues with abortion, birth control, and the definition of rape. With this becoming a popular debate, the U.S. has seen an increase in education on abstinence.
