I grew up as a fundie, stopped being one while at an evangelical university but was still surrounded by them and do I have stories. By the time I was having sex, I'd largely given up any pretense of being a fundie, so I don't have too many first-hand stories that are worth sharing (had my heart broken by a girl that I was deeply in love with, and she me, but she had "promised God that she wouldn't date during her freshman year of college" and so abruptly ended things; I did not handle it well). But two stories of acquaintances I'll share:
One guy was dumped by his (stunningly beautiful) girlfriend of several years for the simple fact that he admitted that he looked at porn once. Not habitually and not while he was with her. Just, at some point, he once saw porn (this was in the early internet days, so this was actually believable). And she said she was out.
The other story is a guy was making out with his girlfriend (also stunningly beautiful--apparently there's a trend lol) who just stopped and said "I think we've been doing this too much and need to pray about it." He goes, "okay" assuming that this was one of those, let's take time to think/pray and then reconvene at a later date things. Nope. Right there in his car she starts "Lord Jesus, we pray to you this evening..." and he was like I guess this is what we're doing now.
