i think your value system is based on your self esteem and self worth...i choose to be abstinant until marriage because i have good self esteem and i have dreams that i want to accomplish...i don't want one night or one boy to be the end of that...and there are alot of risks that aren't worth taking when having sex while you're still in highschool...highschool is had enough as it is...

Any decision on abstinence depends on the condition that a person finds themselves in. My wife would be very disappointed (I hope) if I practiced abstinence. I would advise a very young person to think very hard before they gave up abstinence. Not so much because of morals but because of the physical and emotional dangers that come with early sex. I do not think that the world should consist of only monogamous people who were pure until marriage. I think there is a time in life for being sexually active before marriage. But I think this should be done in a way that is medically and psychologically non damaging.

I chose to remain abstinent before marriage because I saw the damaging psychological effects of sexual relationships before the commitment of marriage. I was 28 when I got married.
Our young people have been fed quite a few lies:
1) sex before marriage is ok
2) it's healthy
3) monogamy is boring and dangerous
4) safe sex is possible
5) sex without commitment is possible
6) sex without emotion is possible
7) sex before adulthood is ok
etc etc etc
Let's face it people, there is no such thing as safe sex, either physically or emotionally.

i was saving myself not for marrige but for that special person. someone i know i would be with for a while and only after the relationship began to mean something and i woulndt realy just go have sex with anyone but now that its not the first time an ocisanly casual sexual encounter *between friends* isnt ruled out but i owuld rather just keep doin it with someone im with because sex is a thing of feeling to me. but 3ways while with someone is okay.
personaly me and my girl havnt been sexualy active together for very long so a 3way is out but we waited over 2 years for the relationship to develope before we first made love

Prior to my marriage I looked for a mate who I could stand having sex with and remembering it for the rest of my life. I knew that when I finaly had sex I wanted it to be special and to be with someone that mattered to me. I also wanted to mean something to the person I'd be having sex with.
In the end that person ended up being my wife... I'm 24... and all the more happy that my first was my wife. I hope it inspires my children (when we decide to have some) to be as responsible as we were.

Well I've been on abstinence for one month now. And I'll still hold away from sex for a further month.
Here's my system of values: in one month from now, I have a date with a woman, and sex is guaranteed. If I abstain two months from sex, and then go to bed with this woman, I'll have great uninhibited and wild sex after the two months of drought. That's my system of values.

I really don't understand abstinence, it's not natural.
