Son-in-law Ben reports there was a study done in the sixties showing that the children who knew how to postpone gratification did better academically and committed fewer crimes in later years. I'll bet the correlation with avoiding fornication is even stronger.
If anyone can find the link to the study, please post it. Meanwhile, here's a cute video.

Funny, if you go Back from Scott's link they're selling a book called "The Neuropsychology of Self-Discipline: The Master Key to Success"
...and at the bottom of the page is a link that says "Click Here to Order The Neuropsychology of Self-Discipline NOW!"
(If you wait 15 minutes before clicking, do you get two copies?)
The actual scientific paper is at http://duende.uoregon.edu./~hsu/blogfiles/Shoda,Mischel,&Peake(1990).pdf in PDF format.
