Leftists usually insist that since the sexual revolution of the 1960’s, the return to the traditional mores of sexual abstinence until marriage is as dead as a doornail, but of all places, in the historically sexually libertine nation of Brazil, the right-wing government of President Jair Bolsonaro is championing the return of the idea.
A campaign titled “I Chose To Wait,” which was created by evangelical pastors, according to The New York Times, has consulted with Damares Alves, the minister of human rights, family and women, who herself is an evangelical pastor. The campaign states it “has a message centered on the importance of living a life in holiness and purity based on the holy scriptures.” Alves has stated, “Our young people, by and large, are having sex as a result of social pressure. You can go to a party and have lots of fun without having sex.”
