Because my friend said He wants people to do it to have children, and not for pleasure, but I'm not sure.
I'm not even a teenager yet, but it still nags at my mind, it must be a puberty thing.
I just wanna live a good life for Him.

Sex is to be saved for marriage, and not just to procreate, although that is certainly one of the reasons. It's also to give pleasure to your spouse, according to the Bible....that's what God intended it to be. Mankind has perverted sex, and made it something sinful, because it's outside the confines of the protections and guidelines that God so clearly laid down for us. When you save yourself for marriage, you don't have to worry about disease, jealousy, of a former partner, etc. Hope this helps. God bless you!

Sex was created by God so it is good because he said that everything he created is good (read Genesis chapter 1 & 2). If some one is single and having sex its a sin according to the bible. Also if you are married and having sex with some one other than your spouse it is a biblical sin. its OK to ask the questions even if you are not a teenager yet. Question everything and ask people where they are getting their answers from. Sometimes people say stuff is from the bible and it is not. You will find most of your answers in the ten commandants. The law of Love. The First 4 commandments you do if you love God. The next 6 you adhere to if you love your fellow human. Keep asking good questions. God Bless.

Well it is not a sin, IF YOU ARE MARRIED to the person of the other gender whom you are with.
God said that we should do both. Have children, AND enjoy our husband or wife. Why? Because we are humans, not angels. And just like angels have needs which we don't have, the need to bring children into the world, as well as the need to love and feel loved, is a human need.
Hope this helps. Take good care of yourself, and make well-thought through, balanced choices in life.

Sex is a beautiful thing God created for a husband and wife! Don't let anyone tell you that it's a sin for a husband and wife!
But outside of marriage it is a sin!
I'm 18 and when I was younger I had a lot of questions like that too. My youth leader done a great class with the girls in my church one summer on a wonderful book!
It was called:
"And the Bride Wore White: Seven Secrets to Sexual Purity" by Dannah Gresh
I'd recommend it to any girl! It's so great that you want to live for Him! Keep on living for God!

Man is created in such a way that if we are separated from God, everything will just go wrong.
However, if we are constantly focused on God. Everything else will seem right.
Sex alone is very selfish. It involves alot of deep emotion. One wrong step will lead to early pregnacies and abortions. Please do not end up like this. Abortion means a disrespect of lives. If a mother is allowed to kill her child. Then what are we to say to strangers killing strangers in war? It will be chaos then.
So, what ever you do, don't have sex before marriage. Because marriage is a sign that you are ready to commit to your husband in the eyes of God. That the two might become united forever till death do they part. :)
"Seek the kingdom of God first and everything else will fall into place"
So, see the world through the eyes of God. How small we humans are compare to the whole of universe. How short our lives are compared to the years that the earth has been around.
So, continue to love people as Jesus loves people. How do you treat people? Think how Jesus will treat them... treat them as Christ treats people.
All Jesus asks is this... "Follow me". So love and Christ loves and you will be okay. You will certainly live a good life for God by living the way Jesus lives. Love as Jesus loves.
Okay?

Well sex isn't a sin, but it can be sinful. there's homosexuality, rape, abortions, affairs, and more. But God did make it to be enjoyed (personally I'm in denial and hate the subject) so if it were just for having kids then women would all hate it and never do it. So it's both pleasure and kids. I'm almost 15 so that's my opinion, you should really talk to your parents and ask to go to a Christian point of view on sex.

The Bible says to save sex for marriage, and only with your partner. God made it pleasurable so that there can be another bond between married people, and of course also to have children. Remember, God created it, and it's necessary for the survival of a population obviously. But don't worry about it too much. ;)
Peace

You should have sex ONLY ONLY when you grow up and get married. Yes, it is a sin if you have unmarried sex. But, that is not the point here. If you really are as young as you say, then you should not even be thinking about sex.

You will appreciate it more if you wait for marriage. Value yourself enough to not be pushed into doing something you aren't ready for. Sex is a gift to be employed in a loving relationship such as marriage. For recreation and procreation.
