It means that abstinence does not accept US currency as payment.

Only bitcoin.

I'm honestly most confused by the $0 USD part. Like... is a selling point of abstinence that it's cheaper than condoms? Really?

It is. Abstinence is often marketed as cheaper than birth control/reproductive healthcare in US sex ed.

Well, a good solution to that would be to hand out condoms for free, huh?

Sex is literally the only activity that's not inherently monetized by capitalism so of course it has a "cheaper alternative" that emphasizes avoiding it and spending money elsewhere.

On the contrary, it's an argument used for getting rid of free condoms.

Pff that's why you steal condoms as a teenager, also so you don't have to have a weird face to face with the grandma behind the counter

also i don't remember where but some nurse type lady gave me a whole brown paper lunch bag full of em so I was good for a while

Also, seriously, it's a real wonder why it's so difficult to convince people that not loving is sooo fun, guys! Who really enjoys sex when one stops to consider the joys of abstinence? But also don't jerk off either because that's also bad. Orgasms are bad and are to be avoided.

If you give yourself pleasure, you're not giving yourself over to The Lord and how dare you take care of your own emotional and sexual needs. You need to be abstinent and frustrated without knowing why you're frustrated so the Church can mold and reshape your fragile psyche as it chooses! :colbert:

I was going to do a tongue-in-cheek rant about Christianity being just a second-rate heresy of Judaism, which takes a much healthier view of sexuality (including the commandment that a husband is obligated by law to sexually satisfy his wife), except that orthodox Judaism also prohibits premarital sex, so :shrug:

All religions are second rate to Satanism, which basically says do whatever the gently caress you want so long as you're not harming someone else, which actually has a fairly strict definition.

I had an orthodox classmate in grad school who explained that this effectively just a prohibition on penetrative sex and pretty much anything else goes. There are apparently orthodox singles retreats where everybody hooks up but nobody gets laid.

In medieval England and some other places in northern Europe there was bundling, where a couple were left alone in a bedroom to "talk" to see if they were "compatible" before marriage. Like the official reason and maybe even the origin of the tradition was meant to be that without the quotes, but certainly by the early modern period it was very definitely a matter of "Just get loving because if it turns out you can't satisfy each other this marriage isn't going to work". It was a big thing in the second wave of the Reformation, the Puritans made it specifically illegal during the Interregnum.

Apparently it still happens in some church traditions but now with the parents and/or pastors in the room keeping an eye on things which, well, least said soonest mended. Apparently one group (wanna say the Amish or another Anabaptist lot) let them have their privacy but also have a plank of wood between the two, or bells attached to the bed, to make sure there's no hanky-panky.
