<p>EEEEeeeeewwwwwww!!! As a father of daughters, that just feels WRONG!</p>
<p>I don’t see anything wrong with a father supporting a daughter’s decision to stay pure until marriage. I only hope the sons make the same pledge to their mothers. It has to work both ways.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think control of male sexuality is high on the agenda.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how much authority they consider the mother to have over a son past puberty.</p>
<p>what is scary is the subservience these young women are supposed to have to the men in their lives</p>
<p>and NO KISSING? egad</p>
<p>the boys, well, there “counterpart” rituals are called Intergrity something or other…so boys have intergrity and girls are pure…sounds like a fair balance…</p>
<p>the whole thing creeps me out…the promising yourself to daddy until the “right” man comes along, while not having any kind of relationships with the opposite sex of anykind beyond the purely platonic</p>
<p>and the idea that teaching them about sex turns them on as an excuse to not give them information is also creepy…</p>
<p>I expected to read about young to mid-teens. The first daughter featured was 25!!</p>
<p>If a girl wants to make that promise to herself, then OK, but the whole father-daughter chastity thing? I have to second Tarhunt’s “Eeeeeeewww.”</p>
<p>Ummmm… Ew. As a teenage girl, that is probably the weirdest, most “urgh”-inducing thing I’ve seen in a while. </p>
<p>I thought society had evolved beyond women being treated as trinkets in the pockets of men. My bad.</p>
<p>It’s like a train wreck. I just can’t tear my eyes away.</p>
<p>and then there were girls as young as four signing the pledge</p>
<p>they are so afraid these girls, to even kiss a boy…</p>
<p>It’s all just a bit too disturbing. Ideally, it’s an okay concept, but thinking about it just… rjhfeiaaksjfbvi. A girl (or woman) is giving away her virginity, because, apparently, it isn’t hers to give away on her own.</p>
<p>What is “rjhfeiaaksjfbvi”? Inquiring parental minds want to know.</p>
<p>Just that my feelings are so mixed and mashed I feel like askfbvndejc. :D</p>
<p>What’s so pure about having you and your d. think about her virginity (and hence about sex) all the time until she is married? </p>
<p>Sounds pretty “vulgar” to me.</p>
<p>It’s more than just vulgar. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The way they blend sex, violence, and the father/daughter relationship in nine words is chillling.</p>
<p>I’m having trouble with the backless evening gowns. On the one hand, you’d think they would wear modest (shoulder-covering) gowns. On the other, the sexy gowns could display that they are sexy beings but saving it for their husbands. On the other hand, the whole concept seems to be saying they are not sexy, but “Daddy’s little girl.” (Whether at age 5 or 26.)</p>
<p>And yeah, my first reaction was Ewww.</p>
<p>Purity is a major virtue and turn-on for me. I’m a 20 year old guy and promise to abstain from sex until marriage (and if I die before I get married or never get married I will be happy to die a virgin).</p>
<p>I have 2 daughters, and I cringe every time I see a promotion for one of these daddy-daughter dances. This takes it a whole lot farther. What part of Psych 101 did these people miss?</p>
<p>I’m so glad that the posters here have taken the high road, and nobody has taken a cheap shot at West Virginia…you know, something like, “In West Virginia, virginity is a very private matter: just between a young lady and her uncle.” Your restraint from making such tasteless remarks makes me proud to be a cc regular.</p>
<p>Seems a little over the top to me, but it’s certainly a backlash against the garbage in mainstream culture, which is even more disturbing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cool. I have no problem with virginity, though I do object a bit to calling it “purity,” as though there is something inherently impure in sex. It’s a bit BCE for me.</p>
<p>What creeps me out is this daddy/daughter thing, as TourGuide has pointed out. It’s a bit too Freudian for my taste, thanks.</p>
