Is Sex Evil?

Question

Some Religious people say taht if u have sex before ur 18 you go to hell.....is that true? o.O

I am 16 and i know the responsiblitys and stuff taht might happend....im still a virgin...yes i admit but.....im jsut asking because i dont really want it to be bad..

Answer 1

Nope. Not true. The church teaches that there should be no premarital sex - but that has mainly applied to females. It's acceptable for males. But, I believe that that belief changes when society does. Look a cultures in the past and compare it to this one. It's frowned upon, but it's no big deal.

Answer 2

Look, people just tell you that you'll "go to hell" to scare you away from doing things that are considered bad.
Sex at your age might not be the best idea in the world. It can mess with your head if you do it before you're ready.
It can also be a great experience, and I'm only going to say "if you're in love", not "if you're married", because in reality, who follows that rule!
Other religions also use sex to worship god or gods, so this rule is certainly not all-inclusive, and you have to decide if you want to stick by the rules your parents brought you up with, or if they're not working for you, to change your path.
Having said all that, YOU are the one with the conscience, and it's YOUR feeling that will tell you whether you are doing something bad or not. If you feel it's not right, then don't do it. If you feel it is, then go for it. Just be careful!

Answer 3

What they say is sex before marriage is wrong. Even though I'm not religious, I'd have to agree with them, though gladly for different reasons. Sex should only ever be an act of love. Have sex with a person that loves you and that you love. Sex shows your commimment to one another. Sex can be the most wonderful thing in the world, but it's best when you love the person you're with and you both enjoy it.

Answer 4

Sex without marriage may be a sin, but we all sin. That doesn't justify it. But you're not going to burn in hell for a mistake.

The Bible is not a rule book; the ten commandments tell us that we have sinned. It's obvious. We've all messed up. That's why we all need the savior: Jesus

There are natural consequences to pre-marital sex too.

But MTV doesn't tell you about the consequences. That would mean big profit loss.

Answer 5

Those religions should be closed down and sold off because they LIE! Sex is excellent, great fun and good for your health. Religious people who say otherwise deserve to find out there's no heaven early from the build-up of tension that results from a failure to release sexual tension. I'm living to 100.

Answer 6

I have never heard that. I have only heard that its not correct (meaning its a sin) to have sex before marriage. That doesnt make it evil it makes it a sin. In religion you could get married at 14 and have sex and it wouldnt be a problem.

Answer 7

no it is not evil,but u should practice it in certain circumstances;there are instructions not restrictions.u should be married to have sex with ur husband only,you have the right to choose the guy you will marry,love him sooo much and make sure that he deserves u.then go on.

as for having sex before 18 it is harmful for health and sometimes for psychology.

Answer 8

Obviously God made sex enjoyable, but was to be between a man and his wife. Peace.

But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Answer 9

You won't go to hell, but you will miss out on the pleasure of your wife being the only experience you've ever had. I can tell you from personal exp. that knowing your wife has been with someone else can cause turmoil. vice versa

God does not want us to fornicate, but he is there to forgive our transgressions

Answer 10

"Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love." - Proverbs 5:18-19

"This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves." - Song of Solomon 7:7-12

Sounds to me like sex is something to be thoroughly enjoyed as described (quite vividly) in Scripture. If you get married before 18, no problem.
