In Judaism a girl becomes adult at 12 and a boy becomes adult at 13. Technically that means they can enter into marriage at that point, but this is generally not practiced today.
Marriage is a covenant. It should not be entered into lightly. The consumation of marriage is sex and should not be entered into prior to the covenant occuring.

My religion ,which is Christian, allows me to read the bible and have it be a guidepost to the lifestyle I live. According to the biblical standards, any sex between two unmarried persons is sin or wrong. Not to be indulged in... With the Christian faith, your body is the temple of God. Christ's spirit resides there ! So, you can very well see why sex is prohibited. Sexual desire between two unmarried people is lust. The bible says that it is better to marry, than to burn with lust for each other. What feels good, does not always mean it is the right thing. ..... Your body will scream at the opportunity for pleasure to be provided , however, you must weigh out the benefits and consequences, before taking that leap....Relationships that are not ready for sex bring a lot of insecurity and pain along with the experience. The pleasure pales as the negative feelings surface. I speak from experience... Spend your time wisely together, there is so much more to explore together... Once you enter the sexual realm, it is hard to go back to exploring other important facets about each other. Sex forces a relationship to the highest level of intimacy. Oftentimes, new relationships are not ready for that level of intimacy so soon!!! Even if the attraction is there, take the time to get to know each other before taking that dive. If he or she is truly interested in you, he or she will wait....

Sex without marriage is okay, but there are times when you shouldn't.
Both parties need to be mature enough to understand that even multiple forms of protection doesn't guarentee no "mistakes" in the way of STD's and pregnancy. I got pregnant while on the pill AND using condoms, for instance, and thankfully my husband and I were already talking about having a baby.
You also need to consider the emotional side of things, and the different ways that men and women see sex. While you may agree with your boyfriend on the way you'll feel, you should know that men are less likely to have sex when emotionally attached and do not respond with the same level of emotion as women do. Women are more likely to "latch on" to a guy mentally and emotionally after having sex with him than vice versa. Just because you say that you love each other doesn't mean that you have the same level of feelings towards each other because you may see love as two separate things. Men are also more likely to lose interest in a woman they've slept with a few times if there isn't a deep emotional attachment, and you should be prepared for that, too, if that's what your relationship is like.
It's not the best idea in the world to jump in the sack immediately. You should get to know a person before you sleep with them (or whatever!).
Sex can be fun, between two consenting adults who care for each other, but you should know your partner, practice safe sex and don't let sex=love in your head. Love can come before or after, but it doesn't come BECAUSE of sex.

U have to remember that religion was created by man and based on faith......Now knowing that ask yourself which religion is right...the one u were born into the one that interest u....what im trying to say is no one can seem to give a straight answer when u ask if my body was designed for sex why are u telling me do refrain from sex im only doing whats natural.......Your going to do it no matter what anyone tells u the key is to be safe about use protection and find someone who u trust and is open minded enough to talk to about it without ridiculing u.

just because you want something doesn't make it right. If you think you are having sex to make each other happy, you really will give them more pain in the end if they don't save themselves for marriage. Sexuality is a gift and it has to be saved for marriage, because it means you give yourself completely to the other person. and you can't know that if you are a boy and a girl. and you're not married.

My religions says that sex outside of marriage is a great sin. It doesn't matter how "natural" it feels - murder is natural to some. It doesn't matter how much each wants to do it, or how much they like each other. Wait until you are married.

If you are old enough and using protection GO FOR IT.. You dont have to be married (dont listen to those people) attraction is a big part of a relationship. You wouldnt buy a car unless you test drove it first right?

You don't have sex just because you 'want to'. That's what animals do, and unlike animals, human beings are endowed by their creator with a sense of right and wrong, things that are moral and things that are immoral. God teaches us that having sex before marriage, or outside of marriage is immoral, and wrong.
