How is it that abstinence worked so well for so many centuries (up to and including my own teen years) but suddenly, it’s just not realistic?

It became “unrealistic” when society (parents!) decided it was OK if their kids had sex. Our society was better when it was socially unacceptable to have sex before marriage, when teen sex was frowned upon, when girls/young women actually valued themselves enough to say NO until there was a promise of long term security for herself and any possible children, when boys/young men actually valued those girls/young women enough to respect that choice, when society didn’t ridicule anyone who embraced these concepts.
