As a teen I resisted the message fed to us everywhere that hopping into bed with a guy we just met would lead to lifelong love.

Who in the world told you that? (Just curious, no response actually needed, but that's very odd.)

Bunch of movies, songs and TV shows my friends went gaga over. "Dirty Dancing," "Splash," "Family Ties," "Twins." Songs by Madonna and the Bengles and lots of others.

"If you are really, REALLY in love, you have to show it by going to bed with him."

The pop culture sure shaped how the majority of girls my age thought. They didn't even see how they were being affected in their choices.

My generation was mostly concerned about pregnancy, so that kept us from taking TOO many chances, but I won’t say “no chances.” It was an interesting time to live.

That’s terrible, but understandable on your part. I assume you are “over that” at this point.

“Odd” = HORRIBLE. Shame on them. I didn’t characterize it correctly to start with.
