Is premarital sex a moral problem?

Question

What do you think?

Answer 1

Only if your morals identify it as such. Cursing is just words, morals make them "dirty words." Premarital pregnancy is a result of copulation with ineffective or lack of contraceptive devices, religious beliefs make the birth "illegitimate." In cultures in which premarital sex is the norm, abstinence would be viewed as a problem.

This is not to say that premarital sex could not become a social problem. But then social problems do not carry the personal Whammy of
moralistic judgments of being a sinner, or weak or evil.

Answer 2

Sex is just that sex. So no premarital or not its not a problem.
Before the canonized bible and the official laws premarital sex was not a problem but then came the big gap in education where children were popping up all over the place because people were taught to suppress their emotions in favor of spirituality.
But I'm guessing you are asking about having sex with someone you love if you are not married. That is between the two of you and nobodies business.
People have too much guilt (myself included)

No its not immoral society knows it happens. it has always happened and it always happens what causes the problems is communication.
If all you want is physical gratification be upfront
If all you want is a life long commitment be upfront

Over 2000 years over 3000 languages and we still don't know how to communicate.

It does not say in the bible though shall not have sex before the ceremony that the Pharisees have to do to let everyone in your tribe know you are taken. and please don't bring up Paul's gospel. The man had issues he was unhappily married and hated women. That's why he was never with his wife.

Think for yourself i say. If you have all the facts you can make the right decision for yourself.

Answer 3

It is if you believe it to be. Premarital sex is considered a moral problem mostly due to religious beliefs. I personally think that the immorality only comes from using sex for malicious purposes. For example it's not morally wrong to have sex with someone because you care about them and you both consensually agree to having sex. It becomes morally incorrect if you use a person solely for sex leaving them with the impression that it means something more to you. Basically deception in any way is what would make an otherwise act of love morally incorrect, marriage or not.

Answer 4

I dont believe in marriage, so premarital anything is not a problem.

I believe that if two people are in love, they can have a committed relationship without a ring, wedding and attorney involved.

Marriage is nothing but a piece of paper you have to sign stating that a third party will be involved if ever you decide to divorce.

Marriage is just a weird concept to me, it makes no sense. It has no value anymore. If you can get married in a drive-through in Vegas, it kind of loses its value.

You can committ yourself to another by simply having a committment ceremony, or simply not being an idiot and cheating on someone.

Marriage, in my opinion, is just something that no one really thinks about, but just does because everyone else does it. Well, I could care less what everyone else does in this society. Our society is messed up because all everyone does is conform. We need more people to step out of the crowd and stand up for their beliefs.

Sorry I wrote a book. Im just venting. Hopefully, this gives you something to think over. I encourage you to think outside of the box.

Answer 5

I respect others answers. But when you think of the science humans were put on this planet to reproduce as all other creatures do. I say get that wild instinct out of your system before you are tied down to one person. If you don't that is when end up with a sh*ty relationship or a divorce. Pulse physical attraction is a big key in a relationship. I don't mean sleep with anybody with legs, make the right decisions for yourself that follow your morals, not the people's around you.

Answer 6

Well I don't really know what moral means, but I do think that it is a problem for people who are Christians because it goes agianst their belief, but many Christians have sex before marriage anyway. Although I am a Christian, I don't really think it's a major deal as long as you're not extremely young and you really love the person you are with.

Answer 7

Yes. People are way to casual about "Hooking up" There is no thought about love, it just isn't special anymore. It used to mean something! It was a commitment. When two people are in love and faithful to eachother sex can be wonderful. We are not wild animals here. People are spreading S.T.D.'S. I do think it is a moral problem.

Answer 8

It depends. I would prefer to find out what I am getting into before it too late. People are not as docile as the olden days. Some couples remain sexless after their children grew up. What life? They found out they were not sexually imcompatible too late but had to live through it due to social pressure. In this modern world, its different. Though I wont encourage it if you really love a person that much to the extent of discovering that your hubby is impotent or overtly active sexually.

Answer 9

It depends on the person. Personally I wish I would have waited longer before giving in to temptation, but felt at the time it was the only way to go. I also feel you need to know if you work in the bed room as well as in day to day life. I was all for marring a guy but we just had no chemistry in the bedroom. I am glad we both decided to split up.

Answer 10

It all depends on your view about sex. Some people think that sex is just sex and you should do it as much as possible with as many people as possible. For me it was more of a personnal preference. I choose to refrain from sex until I was married. With all the STDs out there you don't always know who has what or even who has slept with whom which has what. But sex is also more of a religious and spiritual idea for me. It was my way of giving all of myself to the woman that I love and marry.
