Reverend William John Henry Boetcker was a Presbyterian minister and eloquent conservative of the 20th century (1873 - 1962) who was known for several great quotes such as:

The Seven National Crimes; which are...

1. I don’t think.
2. I don’t know.
3. I don’t care.
4. I am too busy.
5. I leave well enough alone.
6. I have no time to read and find out.
7. I am not interested.

And,

The Ten Cannots (Published 1916, and often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln)

1. You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

3. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

4. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

5. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
6. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

7. You cannot further brotherhood of men by inciting class hatred.

8. You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
9. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.

10. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

See ba! When the purpose of a thing isn't known, abuse is inevitable.

As a lady who believes in chastity, how can you convince a man that there's more you can offer much more than being a sex toy??

I EXPLAINED THIS IN A SUCCINCT THREAD!
From a gentleman's point of view, the unregenerate mind believes that being in a relationship has a LOT to do with sexual intimacy and for some, it's the best thing you can benefit.
It's not our fault that we're wired to think this way but the society has portrayed it with respect to cultural diversity and moral upbringing.

David took Uriah's wife and had him killed; His own troubles began?

Yes, truly, he repented but he lost the child from the product of his Adultery with Bathsheba!

His son Ammon raped his sister Tamar!

Sacrilege in the household of a King!
Ammon was also murdered by his own brother Absalom
What about when the king David had to flee into the woods because of the rebellion and conspiracy of his precious son, Absalom to overthrow him?
Yet, Absalom was gruesomely killed on the throne for David to return to the palace!

Will you give a damn about a possible compromise, the temptation or the pressure that comes with Valentine?

Have you been specific?

What happened to Lot and his daughters after Sodom's destruction? 

Why did he have sex with them?

(A Succinct Thread)
Foremost, It is importance to remember that God considered Lot a righteous man.
(2 Peter 2: 4 -9).

It was, without a doubt, incredibly difficult for someone like Lot to be obedient to God in a city wholly given over to pursuing its lusts.
Secondly, the toxicity of Sodom and Gomorrah isn't a reason for us to think that Lot's daughters are not pure virgins. Environmental influence isn't an excuse to either embrace or shun immorality.

If you're loosed, you can travel several kilometres just to satisfy your lust.

Your past sexual frailties during the times of your ignorance does not disqualify you from speaking against impurity. No, it doesn't.

Your previous struggles with illicit drugs should not stop you from advocating against drug addiction either.
It's honourable if you've got no sexual experience. You will be a light and a model worthy of emulation to those who're relying on God's grace to walk through the same path.
On the contrary, It's comforting to have experienced the consequences of sexual impurity and the healing liberation from such acts.

Your story will minister hope, strength and liberation faster and speak more clearly to the struggles of others than that of the unblemished.
