Wow...GodTube only appears to have two on the topic...one with Jason Evert and the other with some priest who appears to me to be taking the wrong (or at least incomplete) approach to the subject (consequences, consequences, consequences...).

Mary Benacchiel haha dont know how to spell it. is another good one. theres some really good christian chasity websites out there too, they have publications like newspapers out too.

i remember the first time we heard Jason Evert talk, my sister was telling a friend about it and started telling her in detail....after listening for awhile she was totally lost and said "Wait....who's Chastity? His sister?"

Some ppl have never even heard of the word!

Try a google search on David Hajduk, Joshua Harris, Stephen Arterburn, or Fred Stoeker. Only the first one is Catholic, but all of them are chock full of chastity info.

There's a few others, too. I don't think that youtube is the best place to look for this--youtube tends to be pretty godless/secular for the most part, probably because it is merely a cross-section of today's society.

I like the NFP vs contraceptive 'commercials' on Youtube That's chastity, and youtube, and made by seminarians!!

[quote name='Raphael' post='1393852' date='Sep 27 2007, 09:18 AM']My youth asked about this today (which makes sense...homecoming was last week). They asked if dirty dancing was a sin. I explained the Church's basic teaching on sexuality and gave my testimony (I dirty danced at my high school homecoming).

They were shocked because I'm SUCH a nerd, lol.[/quote]

What's dirty dancing? Do you dance in a sandpit or something?

[quote name='prose' post='1393864' date='Sep 27 2007, 05:00 AM']I am not necessarily concerned about talking. I am quite comfortable with public speaking and especially to youth, I am just stressed because I feel like this is a difficult subject, and I can't seem to find anyone (with the exception of JAson Evert) who has tackled it successfully.[/quote]

The Pure in Heart campaign in Britain has a wonderful slide-show that they use. I saw it at a youth retreat this summer. The people who run the campaign designed the slide show themselves. It featured quotations from other young people, passages from the Bible, and quotations from the saints. It was more effective than a video because we could stop on each slide and talk. The first slide was "Isn't it OK if you love the person?" Then a woman in her early twenties got up to speak about how she had been misled by this. Helped by the slides, the group went on to show that chastity is an important part of love, not an inhibitor of it. They also pointed out that chastity doesn't end with marriage - being chaste is something that you strive for throughout your life. That was an eye-opener to many of the people there, who thought that it just meant abstaining from sex.

Perhaps you could design your own slide show. It was only a PowerPoint thing - it wasn't very grand. But it worked well.

Were you having the time of your life?

[quote name='prose' post='1393856' date='Sep 26 2007, 11:51 PM']I am speaking to a group of about 700 youth for 1/2 hr. I am stressed about this.[/quote]
If you're open to the Holy Spirit, He'll use you to tell these kids exactly what they need to hear. Personal testimony is good, so are teachings from Theology of the Body.

You should check out Mary Beth Bonacci's website, I think it's called "Real Love" or something. I heard one of her talks very early on in my conversion and she definitely helped demonstrate the concept of chastity to me. Also, I've seen Mark Hart give a talk on Theology of the Body at a Steubenville retreat, and that was pretty good too.
