Sex is reserved for marriage.

The Catholic view is the same as the bible: sex is for married people only, and every sexual act must be open to life, which means no contraception. This is because sex is a gift, a celebration of the marriage convanent between man, woman, and God.
God bless.

Sex is a beautiful gift from God when celebrated within a sacramental marriage.
Pope John Paul II gave a series of 129 lectures on the "Theology of the Body" in which he describes the spirituality of marriage, love and sex. Here is a link: http://www.ewtn.com/library/PAPALDOC/JP2TBIND.HTM
With love in Christ.

Wait till marriage is what the church teaches. I'm pretty sure there are people from every religion who don't wait till marriage, but it's not what we teach. Believe me there will be more grace for those who wait.

Nope...pretty much the same...they say wait until you've exchanged vows...

I am proof positive that catholics bone each other without the benefit of marriage...unless I was a miraculous conception.

Why are you more concerned what a religion may say about something like that, if its right there in the bible?

You can love...you can have sex, but you have to feel a lot of guilt about it.
