Sex is not just a physical act; the emotional component is very strong as well, especially for women, but for men as well. Casual sex is just scratching an itch. It satisfies a physical urge but ignores the emotional component. That can be harmful indeed.
I'd say you don't necessarily need marriage, but you need a genuine lasting committment between two adults. If one person is committed and the other is not, that takes a tremendous emotional toll. If neither is committed, then sex is empty and can lead to feelings of worthlessness and being victimized. And, sorry kids, but teens, even if they are in love, are not mature enough to handle the complexities of a sexual relationship.
If you are in a long-term, deeply committed relationship and are past the hormonal rush of adolescence, then it doesn't matter if you've made the final step of having a legal marriage unless you want children. If you're getting married next month, it doesn't hurt anything to anticipate the ceremony and remove the stress of having sex for the first time from the stress of the actual wedding. But until you have a relationship that is very like marriage, with ot without the blessings of church or state, then, yes, it is very harmful.

>83% of americans are Christian Huh? That gives me cause to doubt your first stat as well... As for the % of hypocrites etc. only God knows. Morey: Claiming to be a Christian is easy, actually being one is a little more complicated. Apparently the people doing the polling you're looking at don't understand how to differentiate. Also having actually lived through the 60s and 70s I find it very hard to believe the percent of people having premarital sex were the same as far back as the 50s than they are now. I went to High School in the SF bay area (i.e. not exactly the bible belt) and 95% of my fellow jocks weren't even claiming to have had sex in the 70s. Imagine how low the numbers must have been for the so-called geeks.

Remember these letters. P I E S S. Premarital sex can have negative consequences in many ways.
Physical -- Everyone understands the possible physical consequences. STD's , etc.
But few think about these.
Intellectual -- The decision you make to have sex before marriage can change your life and alter your ability to complete an education. i.e. preganncy Thereby, interfering in your intellectual development.
Emotional -- Having sex before marriage is much more likely to cause you emotional pain when the relationship you just KNEW was true love falls apart.
Social -- Premarital sex can result in negative social impact on how you relate to your peer group and how they relate to you.
Spiritual -- Premarital sex can have untold negative effects upon you spiritual well being.
Studies have shown that married couples have 1) more sexual encounters 2) longer sexual encounters 3) more orgasms than single couples. Now who is having the best sex. It ain't what the world would like you to believe. Studies have shown that MARRIED individuals are much more satisfied with their sexual relations.

It can be harmful to your body. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) are an epidemic. Some are never curable. Early pregnancy is the worst case scenario. In premarital sex, each person is using the other to satisfy their own needs. That is not what sex was created for.
Each time you have sex in the future, each person you have had sex with will be in the bed with you!

It depends on your personal beliefs and values. If you have safe sex with someone you care about, I see no reason why it should harm your body or your mind. If you have unprotected sex or sex with someone you don't care about, it may harm your body and your mind.

The recent studies say it is.
Many would say it is harmless, but we can all think back to if we could do things different we would.
It harms present relationships as well.
How strong would a bond be if we married and saved it for marriage?
We would no have the divorce we have, people would be more committed to the relationship.
Just my opinion.

In your opinion, what does difference get the sex after marriage with the sex before the marriage then?!
If it just is harmful before the marriage the same will be harmful after it......... Isn't it?!
Where did you read such absurdity?!
