I believe in "no having sex until married". So, I practice abstinence, and I'm proud of it.

I do. Unfortunately nowadays, people look at adultery very passively. Think about it; how many actors and actresses do we know of in Hollywood who have babies when they're not even married! Adultery is a sin and there is no other way to look at it. As much as I like Tom Cruise, Prad Bitt, Angelina Jolie, Kate Holmes and other celebrities, they are, simply put, sinners. They are lucky we don't live in Massachusetts in the mid-1800s, otherwise there wouldn't have been any actors!
The saddest thing is the number of illegitimate children nowadays.

I have been, and I'm married....my wife was pregnant with our 2nd daughter and just gave birth last week. :-) We plan to resume after my wife's body recovers and after we learn Natural Family Planning which can be 99% effective in preventing conception.
The bible says no sex before marriage. But in the context of a marriage (defined as between one man and one woman) there is no holding back, each is supposed to give all of their body to the other completely, faithfully, and fruitfully when having sex. That means no artificial contraception because both should leave the possibility open for children. If you want to wear white on your wedding day without feeling weird about it, abstain until marriage.
Try reading Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body".

I'm not in a sexual relationship right now. Not because of any religious beliefs. More because I'm not in a relationship right now. But, I'm also of the opinion right now that I'd want to wait until I know the relationship is getting serious before engaging in a physical relationship. I've done the casual sex thing in the past. I'm beyond that. It's no longer for me. I need more than that.

Abstinence is a sin...Sex is sacred in many Pagan religions. It is unnatural to try to stop it..it just must be done correctly...consenting adults only and in private..other than that...anything goes!!!!!!!!!! Sacred since it was all created by the Goddess herself!

hehe. Practice abstinence. I think that's a funny term. But seriously, I do.

I don't.....I am still a virgin (I'm 19 and have been dating my bf for 2 years) but i have done other things....and I'm not a virgin because I think sex is bad. My religion, paganism, just regards sex as a natural part of life. Notice that doesn't mean that I went out and slept with a lot of people.
