True Love vs Counterfeit Love

Just as true love displays love for the whole person, counterfeit love in the form of premarital sex is detrimental to the whole person (perhaps to a greater degree than anything else).  Sexual immorality harms the emotions.  It clouds both the intellect and our ability to make godly decisions.  It causes social uneasiness.  It wreaks spiritual havoc.  It can have permanent damaging repercussions physically.  Nothing is safe from the damage it can do.
