I have to say I do think he has a point as well - but I do have to ask - 'where do you draw the line?'
Smoking is a deadly pastime, Being obese cant help your health, Drinking to excess can be a danger to your life. Most things relating to sex arent anywhere near as dangerous (assuming you play safe).
It strikes me that the whole issue is more of a moral one - clearly the dangerous pastimes are more socially acceptable even today than sexual ones. His comment that some looked at him as a role model for standing up to his principles - get the impression it was the act of standing up to them, rather than the principles per say.
Anything like this will be contraversial if youngsters are exposed in any way - yet as someone already said - they can find it all on the internet in any case if they so wish.
I would agree though that he is probably nigh on unemployable now, except for perhaps an Adult Education Centre!
