I think a woman should stay a virgin until marriage,what do u think?

Question

A woman is more respected if she does not have sex until marriage....

Answer 1

I have to agree with you. But I think that's the way it should be, where both the man AND the woman should stay virgins until marriage, not only the woman.
I know that me and my fiance are waiting until we're married.
Throughout my life, I realized that I wasn't just gonna "give myself" to the first guy I layed my eyes on.
I want my first time to be with someone who I love and truly care about, and this person is my soon-to-be-husband.
I think EVERYONE should stay virgins until they're married.
take care.

Answer 2

I have to laugh at some of these answers. You can totally tell which female posters are virgins and which are not. ha ha. The fact that you imply virgins are more respected than them really sets them off, but you are right. Virgins are more respected when they choose to wait. Its also true that when a man knows a woman has the morals to resist other men based on her principals, he trusts her more. If a woman had slept with 100 guys before she got married, do you think the husband really thinks she is going to stop now that she is married? Most women in america dont wait nowadays and if you can find a woman over 18 thats a virgin, its pretty rare. In the philippines you can find plenty of women that wait until marriage to have sex which is the way i think it should be.

Answer 3

A woman may be more respected by YOU - but most people are in the 21st century and respect a woman by what she achieves and how she cares for people etc rather than an outdated idea that the woman should be kept 'pure' for her husband.
With birth control now the point of only 'doing it' on the wedding night is out modded. The reason was one of property and ownership and to make sure the woman did not have children with other men. This is therefore an outdated idea in modern society.

Answer 4

Sex is worth the wait!

The Bible says it is wonderful when a man is with a virgin...

"There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yes, four which I do not understand:
The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin."
Proverbs 30:19

I think the Bible encourages having sex within the marriage union, and not outside of it.

"The New Testament writers and Jesus realize this when they wrote of not engaging in sexual immorality. This is expressed clearly in Paul's writing to the Corinthians (another society that struggled quite a bit with sexual issues): "Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body." (1 Cor. 6:18, NLT). Throughout the New Testament the sexual union of two people is held as a sacred thing to be done in the context of marriage."

I think a lot of the reason our society is having sex before marriage is because people seek to satisfy their own selfish ambitions.

Answer 5

I'm waiting until marriage for self-respect, not just for the respect of others. I don't expect people to respect me because I wait, I expect people to respect me because I am who I am.

What about guys who break up with girls because they won't have sex with them...those guys don't respect us more. Our peers don't respect us more. I can't count the number of times I've been talking with friends, and they're all talking about sex in my presence, and I feel left out because I've never done it. That's not very respectful. At the same time, it's not more respectful to say "Hey, we're gonna talk about sex now, so leave."

I don't think it's really about respect. It would be nice if it was, but it's not.

Answer 6

why is it that guys think that only the women should be the virgin, why dont the guys keep it in their pants till marriage,

everyone should deserve respect unless they do something horrible like cheating, i think thats something more to worry about more than being a virgin

if you think about it everything is sex based both on tv and what you see in stores along with that are temptations of everyone doing it around them, i know a few of my neices who are 17 to 21 are not virgins and are not married but they wont taught to respect their own bodys by their mothers who is going to teach them

the same goes for males guys can brag and brag about who they have done yet they are not expected to be a virgin like women what happened to be equal

so for any guys who think that the women you are putting their points down about the respect and think they are not virgins what about yourself

Answer 7

It's the woman's choice if she wants to stay a virgin until marriage. Like me, I chose to stay a virgin till marriage and I still am one. But, like I said, it's completly up to the woman.

Answer 8

What about men? It seems you are claiming this is true for women, yet you say nothing of men.

I do not think it is necessary for anyone to be a virgin at marriage. I think sex is a very natural and healthy part of an adult loving relationship.

Answer 9

I think it is really up to the woman to make her own personal choice. As far as respect, that is more about cultural or religious views. Not all cultures respect a woman less if she loses her virginity prior to marriage.

I think this is a personal issue and really no one else's business.

Answer 10

What about a man? Are you preaching a double standard, or do you stand for abstinence before marriage for both sexes?
