It is immoral and wrong to have sex before marriage, no matter what the case (unless rape) agree or disagree?

Question

Please give reasoning for your answer.

READ:

What I meant by the (unless rape) bit, is that if someone is raped, of course it's not their fault! It's the criminals stupid fault, and of course the victim is not immoral for that, it wasn't their fault. That's what I meant.

Answer 1

i believe the right thing to do is wait till marriage.

the fact that most people are too weak in faith to uphold that value does not make intercourse before marriage any more right.

but that's just my personal opinion.

Answer 2

Some people think it's wrong to have sex before marriage. If you ask me, no matter what ANYONE says, sex is a very big part of marriage and being a couple, and can sometimes make or break a marriage. No, loving someone & wanting to spend the rest of your life with them is not about the sex, but how are you going to know whether you two work well together if you don't try beforehand. I'm not saying to have sex with everyone you date, but marriage is for a lifetime, and wouldn't that suck to get married and THEN find out that after trying to make things work, it just doesn't. I'm not trying to sound shallow but when you say the I do's theres no going back.

Answer 3

There is no correlation between normal sex between consenting adults and rape! Rape is sexual assault, it is immoral and wrong for the rapist, but not for the person that is the victim of the attack! That is just common sense. As to regular, normal sex between consenting adults, that is up to the individuals to determine if it is within or without their own moral standards. Morality is a societal standard that varies among families, localities, ethnic groups and religions. Most morals are based on religious teachings, which are of course all based on man made religions, since there is no true deity based religion. So anything set as a moral stanard is something that was determined or dictated by a religious leader or leaders---all based on their own personal opinions since they are all interpreting man made religious texts.

Answer 4

I am a devout Christian but I believe that the world is a complicated place and it's only up to God to judge our actions. I've known "born again" people who go back and apologize to all the people they slept with because they feel so horrible about having sex before marriage. That to me is unhealthy and frustrating for the other person. If you are in a loving, committed relationship and willing to handle the consequences for your actions, I don't see the big deal. A lot of Christians think way too much about what goes on in other people's bedrooms and lose sight of the real problems in our world.

Answer 5

Disagree. I don't think it's immoral to have sex before marriage if it's someone that you really love. I think morality came into place for a couple of reasons. First of all because girls tend to become more emotionally attached after sex has taken place. Second, because they don't want people to go around huming everyone they can for the sake of having sex.

I think that it two people are serious about each other and are willing to BOTH deal with the consequences of possible pregnancy and/or STDs, then it's fine. Just take the proper precautions and don't deplete the welfare system--that's all I ask. Oh, and don't come crying ot me if you get pregnant or start to itch in a place that you shouldn't be itchy!

Answer 6

It is not wrong, I don't think so anyway. I look at it this way, in the Bible, Eve obviously had to have sex with both of her sons to keep the human species alive. Also, humans are the only "animal" to have sex for pleasure, all others do it only for reproduction, if God wanted us to be married, He wouldn't have made it feel so good. Also, rape has nothing to do with the victim, it's entirely not their fault! It's only the rapist's problem and they should burn in hell for that crime...

Answer 7

Is it immoral to have sex before marriage? According to the Bible, consimation is for having children between a husband and wife. Yes, it is a sin to be reconciled...... I dont believe in rape.

Answer 8

People have their own views on what is considered moral and immoral so I couldn't tell you if it's wrong to have sex before marriage. I can tell you that it's always good to save yourself for the RIGHT person. =) That way it's extra special.

Answer 9

I think you should wait untill you really love somebody...you don't have to wait for marrage but you should really be sure you love them because if you loose your virginity to somebody before you are really in love there will be no knew step to take with that person that matters the most. There will be no true difference in your relationship. I don't think it is a sin to have sex beforeyou are in love I just think it is a disadvantage and a loss if you do.

Answer 10

Sex is a natural desire ... you can be too young but why is it so wrong. Of course there is nothing wrong waiting for the right person.

A long time ago rulers of lands kept large harems of women. These harems were guarded carefully to prevent any males except the rulers from having access to these women. The penalty for sleeping with one of the ruler’s women could be, in an extreme case, your own death. So it was only natural for the leader to promote monogamy because there was such a shortage of women.

Thats where all these laws originated from

Answer 11

No, it's not immoral. Lots of good, moral, respectable and productive members of society have sex before marriage.

Your sexual relationships should not effect the person you are to the world at large. Unless you are abusing sex and sleeping around (be a tramp or slut for women and a pimp/player/womanizer for men), then we is sex bad.

Plenty of people having meaningful and successful sexual relationships outside of marriage.

My sex life does not indicate how I will treat people on the street, at work, in a church, at school, etc.

If you think someone is "immoral" b/c they had sex before marriage; then you are just as bad as you think they are.

Judging someone based on their healthy sexual relationships is wrong.
