Does anyone agree or disagree? Many people have the willpower to choose abstinence(no mating) till marriage and/or procreation. Others are weak and give in to their desires of lust and this can cause major problems because they are not mature enough nor ready to engage in something so serious and risky! Unwanted pregnancies, diseases, emotional and physical injury may occur!
Please think about your health and the health of your partner. Save yourselves till the right time when you marry and want to start a family. It will be wonderful for both of you when the time comes. Be strong, show willpower! You can make the right choice to abstain, you can do it!

i agree with you! i just wish that someone had instilled the concept to me as a teenager. now that i am an adult i understand the importance of waiting. this is one thing that i will teach my two children. i hope that you keep putting the word out of how important it is to stay true to yourself and others by saving yourself for marrage and or procreation

Liberals aren't anti-abstinence. Liberals are anti-"Abstinence only sex education" There is a huge difference. One implies a belief that everyone should sex it up every day, the other means that you teach things like how to use a condom. How babies are made. The risks associated with sex (such as STDs and unplanned birth).
If every parent taught those things we wouldn't need schools to, but apparently not all parents do.
Recently there was a case in Kansas (part of the bible belt) where five 11 year olds were left unsupervised, one was used as a look out while the other 4 had sex in a classroom. That stuff just doesn't happen in liberal areas where adequate sex education is taught.
While I agree that a person should not have sex with just anyone, I think it is a horrible idea to wait for marriage. Many people rush into marriage so that can have "acceptable" sex only to end up in a horrible relationship.

Sex for the sake of sex can be a very negative thing, but I believe that sex can be very spiritual and emotional. I don't agree that one should wait for marriage, simply because marriage itself is subjective between cultures and individuals. Marriage is also associated with permanence in Western culture, and choosing your "life long" partner without having experienced the spiritual or emotional bonding would be a mistake.
I feel you are concerned about sex strictly from a lust and physical desire perspective, of which I can understand your view. However, sex is almost always more than this. Sex is not 100% about "procreation," rather is also a social bonding activity.

In some cases, yes it is probably weakness - not to lust but to peer pressure. However, I do not believe that this is always the case, and that some people who choose to have sex before marriage are both mature and strong enough. It is not a sign of weakness but a well-educated choice. Keep in mind that sex before marriage does not always mean one-night-stands and drunken encounters. many people no longer believe in marriage (for valid reasons), but nonetheless choose to have loving consensual sex with the partners. The risk they take is no greater than that of a married couple, and perhaps less than that of a couple unhappily married and staying together only for social and religious reasons.

What are u on about hey??
humans are going to do as they choose the choice is inevitably theirs.
Yes one should show will power...until they are old/ mature enough to handle the full extend of the consequences, such as pregnancy, diseases etc. those who cant do that is weak!!
but have u considered those that chooses not to get married in their lives?? should they abstain their entire life?? become a nun perhaps??
not everybody has an interest in marriage

I don't agree with using the word weakness to describe anyone that is not abstinent. There are several reasons why individuals make that decision. Without knowing these reasons, it 's unfair to write sexually active people off as weak.
Abstinence is not a sign of strength. Staying true to yourself is. And if being true to yourself includes sex well then so be it.

I agree, although I don't like the word "abstinence."
Sound teaching has been lost, and liberalism has had a very detrimental effect upon everyone. I don't see how anyone could engage in sex with someone they're not even married to.
Now I see we have some of the clueless punks chiming in below, who are shallow beyond belief, probably 18 or 19 years old and don't understand a thing about life.

I agree, but less on a moral ground than common sense.
With all the risk of disease nowadays, ppl should really think twice, and when they are in a stable relationship, first be aware of the other's status before they engage in sex.
Those of you who view abstinence as archaic, beware. It's a reality that we have to face.

I also am concerned about the risk of spreading disease's, but I still feel having sex before marriage is an individual choice. I see nothing wrong with it, if proper precautions are made, and I also feel it's great if you choose to wait for the "magic" moment.
