If sexual licentiousness is not curbed entirely, then apart from the spiritual loss, there is a very serious chance of getting incurable diseases.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) has said:

 

Translation: When indecency increases in a community/nation to the point that they perform indecent acts publicly, then plague and other such diseases will spread among them which were not present in the times of their elders.  (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 4009)

 

Western countries have made sexual licentiousness and nudity very common.  The way all members of a family gather for eating at the table, in the same way, fulfilling sexual needs before one another is not considered wrong at all.

 

The sexual licentiousness and sexual crimes in American colleges and universities is setting new records.  From the statistics published in the newspapers and other places we know that every year thousands of children are born out of wedlock, a large percentage of them are girls who were less than 20 years old and were students.
