Hi Sarah.I must admit your article was very interesting and informative(even I had no clue what in the world were bonobos).Anyway that is besides the point.I tend to agree with your reasoning for not being for pre-marital sex.Your flamboyant friend had some really out-of-the-box thoughts and ideas...which were eye-openers...but one line you mentioned in your reasoning said it all......
"Why is it that we copulate face-to-face, look into each other's eyes and have full body contact?"
Being a male(21 yrs) I will not have to pay the price of one night stand....the woman will....as your line at the end mentions...."After all, I will be the one paying the price for my mistakes, not anyone else". But somewhere deep down my conscience tells me that pre-marital sex is unethical,immoral and highly unfair to the woman in particular.
Kudos to you for such a nice article.Looking forward to more articles from you.
