i haven't had sex... i haven't even experienced anything close to it yet... but I was just wondering, besides the chances of getting pregnant or getting an STD, is there anything wrong with sex before marriage?

I know in the Bible it says you can't have sex before marriage... I don't want to sound like I don't believe in the Bible when I ask this, but why does it say sex before marriage is so bad?

I know this may sound stupid... but just out of curiousity...

you're question is not stupid. There's nothing wrong with sex...it's something special that you share with another human being to show them how much you love them.

Sex is a good thing...and you should never feel guilty about wanting to share something so great with someone that you care about.

Just make sure you're responsible, and that you're ready. If you're too embarrassed to discuss responsible things with the other person - such as using a condom, etc - then you're not ready to have sex with that person. It's best if you have trust...and it's best if you wait until you're ready.

Now....that's my opinion....but you should go with your heart. If you feel that it's wrong to have it - then it's not the right time.

In general, I think sex is great, and a lot of fun, and that sex before marriage is the only way that you can find out whether you're sexually compatible with your partner or not, and that a sexually incompatible marriage is pretty much doomed. So I'm in favor of sex, and in favor of sex before marriage.

However, there are some other potential downsides to sex other than the possibilities of getting an STD or someone getting pregnant. The reason sex is also called 'making love' is that it tends to cause people to fall in love with each other, or fall more deeply in love with each other. These intensified emotions can sometime cause problems, particularly if the people involved are not mature enough to cope with them, or if they are one-sided.

Sex can also use up your time and energy, it's possible to injure yourself during it, it can get you in trouble with parents, jilted spouses, or even the law, and so on and so forth.

In general, sex is a marvelous thing, but I don't think it's true that it has no other possible downsides apart from STDs and pregnancy -- those are just the worst ones. So whether or not to have sex with someone is a fairly complicated decision, and one that it's best for people to be fairly mature before making, so they can thing about all the possible drawbacks and benefits.

That's a tough one to answer, but I think it is the one question that every young person should ask before they decide to have sex for the first time. There is nothing wrong with sex if you are ready for it and so is your partner. Sex is a big emotional responsibility besides the whole STD and AIDS and getting pregnant consequences. Sex is giving away a little part of your soul to someone every time you have sex.

I was almost 19 when I had sex for the first time and I can now admit that I was not ready for it. I was too immature to handle that kind of emotional trip, not only with my partner, but the emotions that it brought for me. It kicked my butt! I can honestly say that I regret having done it. I did it out of curiosity and nothing else. I didn't love the guy and I know he didn't love me. Actually, he was a big jerk!

Now I am in my early 30s and I am in a relationship with someone who loves me and whom I love. I share this with a bit of heartache, but I wasn't ready for sex until now. We are not married, but we are planning on it, and I don't believe there is anything wrong with living together and sharing a bed with the man I love. Now, some of his relatives are very Catholic and they went bonkers when they found out we were living together, but we are adults. We make our own choices and will answer for them when judgment comes.

In my humble opinion, what is most important is what you think, what you value, what you think is wrong and right. Your values may be right in line with The Bible and other religious teachings or they may be a little different. You need to figure out what those are and decide for yourself what you believe. After all, you are the only person who will ever feel your emotions and the one who will answer for your choices when the time comes.

Are you ready cause here goes, the bible is a guide on how to live. If you were to go and have sex just think you get pregnant the guy you were with says he loved you but now that you are knocked up he's decided he is not ready to settle down so now he leaves you. You endure this pregnancy all alone. You have to rely on your parents for help since you are to sick to work while you are pregnant. You have your child all alone on the delivery table. You have to go to the welfare office for medicaid since you don't have money for insurance to take your child to the doctor for shots and the many other reasons that babies go to the doctor. You can just about imagine how humiliating it is to apply for foodstamps and at the same time see the guy you had a baby for walk around with another girl who has no kids while you struggle with yours. He will not help you with baby not even to buy diapers. Then he decides he wants to have sex with you again so since you are still weak for him you let him come over and you give in to his advances, you have sex with him and then he leaves. Days later you go to use the bathroom as ususal and only this time it burns when you urinate, he has given you genital herpes, and std that you cannot get rid off now you have to live with this for the rest of your life, I can only tell I wish I could show you it's hard life out there you cannot make it without an education i live this hard life every day please don't make the mistakes that I have I pay for them every day. God loves you please do the right thing and wait, I guarantee you that if you do not you will remember these words and they will haunt you and you will wish over and over that you had. I can't undo what has happened to me but you still have hope don't ruin it. Stay away from drugs alcohol and tobacco, you will begin a nightmare that you may NEVER wake up from if you don't!!!!!!!!!!

Sex is wonderful, there is nothing wrong with it . It is the consequences that are terrible if you have sex because of an impulse, a whim, a bad choice that you may later regret. You have to be mature and intelligent enough to experience it. There are many risks, like STD, unwanted pregnancies, and emotional traumas if you are not prepared. A bad decision can haunt you forever.

Sex can be AMAZING and FUNNY and a really, really good thing ...

But sex can also be devastating for both people. If you are female it can make you feel either very loved or very USED - If you are male ... it can be the same thing.

It's a bigger deal than kids will tell you... if you just do it with anyone and everyone it will lose the special quality ...
Wouldn't you get tired of cheeseburgers if you ate them all the time! They would get old really fast.

Also, you end up comparing people and that can be REALLY bad.

Wait -

i don't think there's anything wrong with sex before marriage personally. imagine that you married someone and they were totally awful in bed-now you're turned off from sex because of how bad it was since you have nothing to compare it to. I'm not saying you should sleep with everyone you find attractive, but you should definitely shop around a little.

look okay sex was made for two married ppl to make love only with the ring you kno but then the devil came in and now everyone has it whenever it is wrong because it isn't because you love the person even though you think it is it is only because you feel you can't wait till you find the right person but this is the thing don't get me wrong i was taught to save yourself, but i was also taught by peers to try the gift b4 buy it lol but seriously God put that out there for married couples to be even more in love and to produce more kids into the world until others spread it around like everyone can do it

i imagine those who decide individuals in preserving with their sex lives are shallow. this is nobodies organisation except for you and your companions. there is no longer something incorrect with informal sex for my section, although i in my opinion does no longer do it. i have been in a relationship for 3 years, so i'm happy with in simple terms him. some human beings could have religious responsibilities hostile to having sex, this is why some human beings will decide you. in truth you won't be able to please each and every man or woman, so do what you desire inclusive of your existence. Be probability-free and function relaxing! i do not imagine that's a foul theory to get examined once you turn companions or extra constructive yet get your companions examined, you'll get some nasty stuff if you're actually not careful! provide your self with protection.

the reason the bible says sex before marriage is bad is because you are committing adultery (one of the 10 commandments "thou shalt not commit adultery) on your future spouse sex is a natural and wonderful thing to share with someone you love and are going to be with for the rest of your life no questions asked that's why its so looked down upon because it has become casual and is not remotely linked to love among todays youth
