Joanna Chestnut Releases TRUE LOVE WAITS

Is the next hyper-sexualized generation setting themselves up for unfulfilling and unhappy relationships? Joanna Chestnut's new book, "True Love Waits," explores the importance of saving physical intimacy for a committed relationship, regardless of sexual orientation.

As a mother of six, Chestnut sees the harm being done by a hyper-sexualized culture. As a woman growing up in the 1960s, she embraced the "free love" philosophy of the time. However, Chestnut's opinions changed as both her children and the national divorce rate grew.

The book includes interviews from people of all walks of life and political ideologies about the decisions they've made in their romantic lives.

Chestnut advocates waiting to initiate physical intimacy until a couple gets to know each other on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level. She offers tips to help readers respect the act of sex by saving it for marriage. In this way, Chestnut says society can move from meaningless sex to holistic intimacy and love.

"I grew up as a hippie and still am in many ways," Chestnut said. "When it comes to relationships, sex and intimacy, I want to let my audience know that even a liberal can advocate celibacy and turn sex into the sacred act it was always meant to be."
