why are you people so concerned with pre-marital sex?
why don't you worry about other more important things,like povertyand famine,rape,and other BIGGER problems out there.
why is it such a big deal? if two people are ready and responsible enough for sex what is the problem?i do not think that one has to be married in order to be responsible enough for sex.and i'm so sick of hearing this religion stuff.is there anyone out there who chose to be a virgin until marriage without religion being one of the reasons?if a religion said it was ok for you to have sex before marriage would peoples views change?

Yes, I did wait, and so did my husband.
As it happens at the time we got married I was backslidden and not in any church, and my husband did not know the Lord either. We could have chosen not to wait, but I had made the decision long before to wait for marriage and my husband waited for me. It was one of the best decisions we had ever made. We did get into a church years later and are living for God now, but aside from that, the fact that we had waited brings us so much closer and we are still reaping the benefits in many areas. I can't describe how awesome it is knowing he is my one and only and I am his. There are no exe's to deal with or regrets there. It's just really awesome.
Yes the Bible does tell us to wait, but there is a reason for that. It's not just to impose a restriction, it says it because God wants us to be blessed with wonderful marriages. Regardless of what you or I or anyone believes, or even what the Bible says I know first hand what a wonderful experience it has been, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
By the way, Pynki is right, but that's a whole other story. ;)

I think that the times we live in it is imperative that we wait to be married. The problem with with your point is this.....there are not really that many people who are responsibly having sex. If there were....the STD rate would decrease or be non-existant. AIDS would be decreasing, oral STD's would not be on the rise and unwanted pregnancies would be a thing of the past. YOU might think you are having responsible sex, BUT is the man you choose to have sex with being responsible? I don't think the whole wait until your married is just for religious purposes, it is a practical one. Also, think about this, for a woman, sex is emotional and for a man purely physical. While you are having an emotional affair, he most likely is just having a physical affair. Pre-marital sex can be damaging emotionally and physically. That is not being religious, that is being logical.

Well religion is ONE of the reasons that I want to wait, but i'm sorry to say that it's not the biggest one. I want the guarantee of marriage, and it's supposed to be better if you only sleep with one person all your life because then you don't have anyone to compare them to, and you'll always be happy with them. I think that's the most important for me. And, it's guaranteed that you don't get pregnant. You also will have a much lower chance of getting STDs. I have plenty of friends who have had sex and I'm not going to tell them that they are wrong, even though I am a Christian, because it's their choice, and everybody does things wrong sometimes. I'm not perfect either.

dont have sex. have a courting and get to understand the guy if he's a jerk or no longer first. dont set your self up in circumstances the position you may 'supply in' too quickly like his position or yours all on my own etc. you may have that 'hearth' kept interior and keep it only a idea and a grin on your face once you be conscious one yet another. enable your personalities run the courting instead of the sex. you'll discover out if the guy truly needs the guy you're and under no circumstances the body. good success

No sensible woman needs religion to lead her down the path of chastity. Those women who don't want to be forced into a marriage because they are pregnant or get an STD. There is only one guaranteed way to achieve those two goals and that is to remain a virgin.

I think that the issue on this is that people are wanting their children and persons that they know to save themselves for a more personal relationship. As far as people making a bigger deal about it than more important issues that is a great question. Some people want to have a say in everything and this is just one thing that people want to be heard on

well, I am 14 and used to believe in that but then I started thinking, if male and female love eachother then they do it, it is love and they are responsibe enough, there are more people out there who need help, peverty, rape, sexual abuse, killing, hostage, and much more, I am not saying that now because I do not believe pre-marital sex means I am going to go out and have sex, I am going to wait till I am older, but you have definalty made a pount. thankyou for bringing this ? up.

I guess I have a few reasons why I won't have premarital sex...1 is because of religion. But also because I want to save myself for whomever my husband will be. Kepps from spreading nasty diseases around everywhere.
