These gen Zers preach ‘chastity before marriage’ at the Jersey shore. What are they so afraid of?

Christian group Generation Life has sent 20somethings to do beach outreach' at the US haven for hedonism for two decades. A lot about young people's sex lives - and their sales pitch - has changed

By the time the young man in red swim shorts sprinted up the beach to Chiara MacGillivray and Jon Sechuk, the two twentysomethings had yet to convince a single Jersey shore partier to join their crusade for chastity.

In fairness, convincing young people to remain chaste" until marriage is a hard sell at the best of times. And the members of Generation Life knew that Saturday in June at the Jersey shore - a stretch of sand south of Atlantic City so renowned for horniness, drunkenness and reality TV show antics that its very name has become a synonym for hedonism - was not exactly a good time for chastity. It may have even been the worst possible time.
