    In this 2 part episode, Damon Dare and Dingbat discuss an old concept being revived with Gen Z, dating to marry, in high school. We discuss this and compare it to Damon Dare's experience as a GenX man who experienced dating in his 20s and how that compares. In part 2, we talk about pre-marital sex; the long held belief of abstaining until marriage - with respect to those in religions who believe abstinence is the right path, vs. a more modern outlook on the practice of safe sex in pre-marital but exclusive dating relationships and why such practice may make sense.
