I just picked up Pure by Linda Kay Klein from the library. I haven't read it yet, but it about the Evangelical Christian world's purity movement.

The Mormon church has a pamphlet it gives to kids 12 and up called "For the Strength of Youth" which talks about their dress/appearance guidelines (big on modesty. The r/exmormon community likes to joke about porn shoulders because bare shoulders are extremely scandalous.), dating, and sexual purity. They are interviewed regularly by their bishop (basically pastor of their congregation) to gauge their worthiness and they are asked if they keep those standards. I wish I knew of some books about the subject, how this affects them, but there has been TONS of chatter online esp recently. This American Life did an episode about it. Oh and Elna Baker, who is on that episode has a book called "The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance." It's been years since I've read it, so I don't know that it would apply, but she talks on This American Life about how she still feels huge amounts of guilt anytime she has sex.

This post made me think of this book which was getting a bit of publicity in the past few years.
