Sex, Abstinence, and Happiness

What follows is a frank discussion about sexual behavior the consequences of that behavior. It is an argument for saving sexual intercourse for marriage. This short book proposes abstinence as a radical solution to the problems inherent, in the now defunct sexual revolution. This discussion is not in any way a substitute for professional counseling or psychotherapy. If you suspect you have these issues go to a competent professional. Go get help. This is just an adult discussion and nothing therapeutic is intended to come out of this booklet. About the Author James Nugent- My BA is in Criminal Justice and English Literature.

All names were changed and all identifying characteristics have been sanitized from this presentation. Any apparent connection between this book and real people and events is coincidental. An estimated 25% of women, who are cohabiting, need professional mental health assistance at some time in their lives. The single most common complaint in my private practice was depression which appeared within a year of having an abortion. For two decades I helped women and men deal with emotional strain put upon them by the lifestyle choices they were making.
