Was There Any Value in Purity Culture or Was It All Just a Mistake?

A reader asked me,
I see a lot of people pointing out the harm done by the “purity culture” of the 90s and early 2000s. But it seems like it’s easy to throw out the baby of purity with the bathwater of a manmade culture. God says purity is His will for us, but perhaps some people had the wrong motives and thought there was a guaranteed outcome if they followed a formula and set of rules?
The problem is certainly not purity itself! “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality” (1 Thessalonians 4:3).
