I think that sex before marriage is not the best idea. Not because of religion, although that does play a part in my decision, but because you may not be ready emotionally or physically. You may think that you are prepared to take that step, but if you do end up sleeping with someone that really didn't love or respect you, you are going to end up hurt, and in more pain than anyone ever should be. There is also the danger of getting pregnant. Even with many methods of contraception, accidental pregnancies do happn. If you are pregnant and not in a relationship, or not married it is a very uncomfortable position for you to be in which brings up other issues such as abortion.
Keeping all of this in mindm I would say that it is up to you personally, but that I would think it through well. Sit down and talk to the person that you want to share yourself with. I will say this though, if you aren't comfortable discussing sex, contraception, pregnancy, birth, abortion, adoption, and marriage with him than I would NOT do anything sexual with them at all. You should be completely comfortable with that person.
Otherwise, be safe, and have fun :)

The answer to this does depend, mostly, on religion. If you are religious and your religion says it is a sin, then it's wrong.
But I suspect you're not religious. You may have been brought up by your parents in a certain religion, but there's no rule that says you have to follow that religion if you don't believe in it.
So if you're not religious, it's not wrong. It can be dangerous, but it's not wrong. So if you are trying to make a decision, you need to think about the risks you are taking, not the morality of it.
There is a very high risk that you could get pregnant, if you don't take precautions. There are also a lot of diseases that you can catch, and some very common ones have no cure - in other words, you will have to live with it for the rest of your life.
If you're female, you need to know that teenage boys have raging hormones and are absolutely desperate to get laid. Even the nicest ones will tell you lies to get there. Don't be pressured. Any boy who dumps you because you won't do it, isn't worth having anyway.

If I ignore the religious part for a minute, I would say: The downside of it is, you put yourself at many risk. Such as, unwanted pregnancies, std's, and people that can take advantage of you. Once you start "doin it", you most likely won't stop. It can become a part of natural behavior. On the flip side, would you want to marry someone you don't enjoy sleeping with? What if you are not physically compatible? Don't rush into something that you are not ready for and be responsible at all times.

Things are labeled right or wrong based on precepts. Nothing is inherently right or wrong; thinking makes it so. The only thing I would say IS wrong is taking away someone's right to determine for theirself whether something is right or wrong. You'll have to make your own call on this one. Either that, or be a sheep and surrender your autonomy over to some religion and allow them to do all the thinking for you and make all your decisions.
My opinion (which applies to myself and is in no way a command for you to do the same) is that it is not wrong. It's just that sex can create problems such as diseases, unwanted pregnancy and it can also create emotional attachment in one partner but maybe not in the other, which leads to emotional pain.

Taking out all morality and just answering the question practically you have to consider a few things-
Are you ready for the possible consequences of having sex- such as parenthood. No birth control method is 100% effective.
Are you emotionally ready to give up your virginity and does he really deserve to be your first?
Can you deal with having a disease that you might carry with you for the rest of your life, such as herpes or HPV or even HIV?
When you are able to answer yes to all those questions, then consider your own moral beliefs about premarital sex and make your decision.

This is a question that can cause some debate, so let me try to help. I have been faced with this with my fiancee, she believed that you should wait , and I did understand her point but I felt differently. If your serious with someone and you think this is going to be a long term relationship, then i say yes you should before also make sure he is safe to have sex with, if he has been with others then make him GET TESTED!
the reason I say its important is because you don't want to be married with someone you are not sexually compatible with. your commitment goes further than sex true but sex is very important to both of you so that's my thinking on this , I hoped it helped!

I always try on the shoes before I buy them or test drive a care before making a purchase. Hopefully, you know where I'm coming from. Everyone has different beliefs. Guys have needs as well as girls with their certain needs. Why not have someone help you itch that deep spot.

Sex should never be given or taken , religion and marriage have nothing to do with true love . You will know when the time comes if it`s right or wrong , trust your gut feelings

I don't think it is but I think I might wait just to tease 'em.. HE HE HE!. Have sex when ever you want... just make sure you won't regret it. We are animals duche, but usually animals have one partner their whole life... so do you think that's like marriage? For animals? How old are you? I bet you're like 14 and you wanna loose it to a 22 year old or older guy. Well guess what kid!? JOHNNY DEPP IS TAKEN!

I think that if you are sure you are in love and your sure that this will be the only one you ever want to be with, i would wait till it was really serious and that you knew that they felt the same way. Than i think its fine. As long as you use protection and be safe about it.
