Why can’t I suggest abstinence from extra-marital sex and still live in the real world?

I live in a real world in which a whole lot of men avoid extra-marital sex their entire lives. I don’t mind if you joke about my looks, and in my case you might be right, but for many abstainers opportunity is plentiful, but self-discipline is in even greater supply.

The pretense that in the real world extra-marital sex is inevitable is a self-delusory (and self-justificatory?) lie modern Westerners willingly tell themselves. There is nothing realistic about it.
