At Harvard, Abstinence Only Group Fights "Mindless Sex"
Mar 23rd, 2025 by Jessica Gold Haralson
Sometime between the founding of a student-run porn magazine and the day the campus health center advertised “Free Lube,” Harvard University seniors Sarah Kinsella and Justin Murray decided to fight back against what they see as too much mindless sex at the Ivy League school.
They founded a student group called True Love Revolution to promote abstinence on campus. The group, created earlier this school year, has more than 90 members on its Facebook.com page and drew about half that many to an ice cream social.
Harvard treats sex — or “hooking up” — so casually that “sometimes I wonder if sex is even a remotely serious thing,” said Kinsella, who is dating Murray.
Other schools around the country have small groups devoted to abstinence. On most campuses, they are religious organizations. Princeton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have Anscombe Societies, secular organizations named after an English philosopher and Roman Catholic. True Love Revolution is secular as well.
Some feminists, in particular, have criticized True Love Revolution’s message.
Harvard student Rebecca Singh said she was offended by a valentine the group sent to the dormitory mailboxes of all freshmen. It read: “Why wait? Because you’re worth it.”

Lena Chen of SexandtheIvy.com, and the editorial staff of H-Bomb… any responses?
One guy complained that Harvard presents very sexual environment and the students are almost inevitable drawn to sex???
Wait, you are telling me that just because the environment is so sexual that you just tossed down your OWN mind and your OWN willpower because it is too sexual???
Do that ring a bell?
Oh, she dresses so slutty that I just had to rape her!
That one!!! What hypocrites they are! We men and you women have MINDS! If we don’t want to have sex, we will not, period.
Sorry, I had to express my frustration with repeat repeat repeat of ridiculous tossing away of self-responsibity of some people and then blame us for it.
