The hypersexualization of society has generated a backlash among some of America’s youth, and they are fighting back.

Students Confront Contraceptive Establishment With "1Flesh" Website

by Crnkovich

“We want sexy back!†This is the cry of today's

generation, raised in a sex-drenched culture that threatens to empty

relationships between the sexes of all love, meaning and romance.

Marc and a group of fellow students at the Franciscan

University of Steubenville knew that human sexuality was intended to

be something beautiful, and that it deserved greater respect and

appreciation in the world today. They decided that it was high time

that someone told the truth about sex, and exposed the root of today's

widespread sexual dissatisfaction.

So it was that in May of this year, these students launched

a website entitled: “1Flesh:

The Revolt Against Contraception in Marriage.†They described

their effort as “A grassroots movement in opposition to the use

of artificial contraception, dedicated to bringing great sex to the

entire universe.â€

The sexual revolution of the last generation has left a legacy of

broken lives and broken hearts for all to see. Young people do not

want to make the same mistakes as their parents and older siblings.

They want to be seen as persons, not sex objects. They want romance,

not the humdrum boredom of loveless sex. They want monogamy, not the

multiple partners that leads to STDs. Today's generation is searching

to regain what their parents lost.

1Flesh believes that things went wrong when contraception entered

marriage. Not only is contraception not the answer, they believe that

it is a root cause of all our present ills. It lessens the bond of

sexual union, dulls its unifying nature, and causes many health

problems that could be avoided if couples used natural family

planning. This is where 1Flesh takes a stand against society's current

practices.

The goal of 1Flesh is “to spread words of rebellion; that sex

should be awesome and saved until marriage, that pregnancy can be

justly avoided without harmful chemicals, and that love is worth

fighting for.â€

The website contains a vast array of images, videos, testimonies,

data, and statistics all arguing against the use of artificial birth

control and in favor of what it likes to call “100% organic

sex.†It also introduces readers to a natural and healthy means

of fertility regulation, namely, Natural Family Planning. It explains

the benefits of several different NFP methods, such as The

Creighton Model Fertiltycare System and The Billings

Ovulation Method, in detail.

And that’s not all. The website is chock full of information about the

emotional, physical, and environmental dangers of artificial birth

control, all told with flashy and attention-grabbing visuals that I

found both informative and entertaining.

In their own words, 1Flesh strives “to inform women of the risks

of birth control pills, to call out pharmaceutical companies for their

life-endangering, false and manipulating advertising of the drugs, and

to promote the concept that women can understand and work with their

own fertility instead of relying on pharmaceutical companies.â€

I was impressed by the detailed explanations of how men and women are

harmed emotionally and physically by the use of contraceptives such as

the pill and condoms. I was particularly touched by testimonies from

former contraception users, many of whom now rely upon NFP, about how

they have found physical and emotional health again after experiencing

the negative impact of contraceptives in their lives.

The website has received a great deal of publicity since it went

online in May, and Marc has been interviewed by

the Huffington Post and other media outlets. As you might

expect, the site has also received more than its share of attacks.

But Marc and his collaborators are hanging in there, fighting the good

fight. They saw the need, heard the cries, saw the demand, and so took

action. We at PRI salute them!
