Gresh promotes abstinence before marriage with an emphasis for young women.[5] Additional views on human sexuality include:
- Abstinence is the only form of HPV prevention which is 100% effective[6]
- A person can get addicted and bonded to the people they have sex with[7]
- When a virgin woman's hymen breaks during intercourse, it forms a blood covenant between the woman, her husband, and God[8]
- Immodest dress is sinful, causing men and boys to stumble[9]
- Focusing on Jesus helps overcome PMS symptoms[9]
- By submitting to authority, women earn God's protective covering[9]
- A woman's value comes from fulfilling her designated role as a wife and mother[9]
- Greater connection to God will stop the desire to masturbate[9]
- Women should save every part of their heart and body for their future husband, because sex before marriage is a sin[9]
