It's sex before marriage. Some people are for it, some against it. I believe you should try before you buy.

Premarital sex - Having sex before you're married.

It's very common. Different cultures have different feelings on the subject. Some people feel they wouldn't marry a person before knowing if they're sexually compatible, while other feel a need to protect their virginity until after marriage.

What is the right answer for you? You'll have to decide, but if you have the need to keep trying to justify your choice because of suppressed feelings of guilt about your choice, you might need to consider the other option. But it's nothing to rush into!

Premarital sex is having sex before you are married. I believe that a wise God has told us that we should not have sex before we are married. A loving God knows we will be much happier if we wait. There are plenty of ways to get to know someone before you marry them. Sex is a wonderful part of marriage, but it should only come after you have laid a foundation of friendship, trust, and commitment. The commitment I refer to is marriage and the promises we make at that time.

Premarital Sex is sex between two people who are not yet married to each other. It is seperate from Extramarital sex, which is sex between two people who may be married, but are not married to each other.

Premarital sex is considered taboo in many societies, for a variety of reasons, though I'd theorise that it all comes down to kids. The obvious consequence of premarital sex is bastard children (i.e. Children whose parents are not married, not children who are just unpleasant and annoying :) ). Bastard children themselves are at a disadvantage because their parents have no obvious bond between them, they have no stable mother/father couple ot look up to or to look after them (though this isn't necessarily the case, sometimes the parents will be together, just not married. This is sometimes called Commonlaw Marriage, where a couple are considered to be married in every way apart from actually being married). There's also the problem that bastard children can interfere with later relationships that parents have with other partners, the relationship between step-children and step-parents is well known to be often unstable and destructive (think of how many fairy tales have a wicked step mother in them, for example).
Also there's the rather old fashioned thing, which essentially comes down to the idea that men like marrying virgins. Obviously pre-marital sex removes alot of virgins from the female population :)
Finally there's the disease factor, if I'm married and I only have marital sex, then the risk of me getting a sexually transmitted disease, or passing it on to other people is pretty much nothing. If I have premarital sex with many partners, then the risk of disease for both me and my partners is much greater, since I can catch it from one person and pass it onto others.

Modern western society takes two approaches to counter the negative consequences of pre-marital sex:

1. Abstinence, i.e. Don't have premarital sex
2. Contraception, i.e. Always use a condom

There are people on either side who say that their way is right and the other is wrong. Catholics, for example, believe that controception is sinful and always favour abstinence, many other Christian groups take a similar view, though on the simpler grounds that premarital sex itself is wrong. Liberal groups argue that the abstinence approach is futile, teenagers will have premarital sex anyways and we may as well teach them to do it safely, rather than simply saying that they shouldn't do it at all.
Studies in AIDs ridden areas in Africa have shown that in fact the best approach is to actually teach both ideas side by side, by essentially saying "Here's why you shouldn't have premarital sex, but if you really must, then here are ways to stay safe while you do so"

PREMARITAL SEX IS SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE, AS IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
