What are good reasons for why you shouldn't have sex before marriage?

Answer 1

you should only have sex if it feels right to YOU
if YOU feel ready and that you honestly love this man
dont let your boyfriend and/or friends preasure you
they may be ready but its your decision if YOU'RE ready

Answer 2

Ya, the thought of having an ex's part in your place most likely will turn you off... if you leave the person you have sex with.

STDs you can get even after marriage so that one's not that great a reason. If you're worried about STDs, have your partner and you go get tested together.

There is a possibility you can get pregnant even on the pill and with condoms and diaphragms, so if you don't want kids, you might not want to have sex.

But, I'd say there's nothing really wrong with sex before marriage.. so if you want to and are responsible enough to deal with the consequences, go ahead. If you do have sex beforehand and you liked it and decided to stay with them (hopefully for other reasons), at least you know you'll have someone good in the sack every night ^.~ and if you don't stay with that person, you've had practice for when your real Charming comes along.


edit: and all you people that are saying adultery is wrong, adultery is not having sex before marriage, it's defined in the Bible as when a married man (or in this case) a married woman, has sex with another person WITHOUT their husband/wife's permission/knowledge. So yes, adultery is wrong, but having sex before marriage isn't, according to your own book.

And the first time for me was not any different from any of the other times. When I did find my man, it was just as special as the original first time, because I knew this was the right one, I knew he loved and cared about me, and I gave myself to him not only body but soul as well. I think the first time with him was actually better than the original first time. This virginity thing is a load of crap as far as I'm concerned.. all it is, is a little wall of tissue. Purity is in the mind, heart, and soul. The nastiest prostitute can cleanse herself spiritually and become just as pure as she was before she started selling herself. Look at the prostitute Jesus saved.

If you must save a part of yourself until you know it's the right one, save your heart. That's what truly matters.

Answer 3

There aren't any. Sex is good, a ceremony and piece of paper won't make it any better. The reasons many people think it's wrong are either erroneous, outdated or simply based off of false assumptions.

STDs can be caught within wedlock, just so people know. Many STDs don't actually require sex, they just use it as a means of transmission. Unplanned pregnancies also happen within a marriage. Lastly, the line of thinking that says that virginity is a gift is creepy.

Answer 4

Don't assume that because you wait until marriage that your partner didn't get an STD beforehand. Even if they are a virgin there are other ways to get an STD contrary to the name. Assuming you're going to use as much protection during marriage as before, the biggest worries would be emotional.

Answer 5

u don't put yourself at risk for STDs or an unwanted pregnancy, u don't lose something special to someone u may not care about, u'll have the ultimate gift to give to your spouse...
personally i don't think u should necessarily wait til marriage (if u want to, good for u), but til u're in love...plenty of people have sex b4 marriage that don't have STDs, pregnancy, or regrets. It's a wonderful thing when u love the person

Answer 6

sex can mess up a relationship before marriage,because u don't know each other all that well.If u don't think that u r ready for marriage or dealing with the consequences that come after sex including kids,STD,etc then u r not ready for sex before marriage.

Answer 7

because sex before marriage will usually destroy the relationship. because there is nothing to look forward to in your wedding night. (I'm trying not to sound to cliche here) but if you are that person thinking about sex B4 marriage you should know the answer.

Answer 8

When God makes a covenant with people, blood is shed. When a husband and wife have sex for the first time and the hymen is broken, that seals their covenant as husband and wife...or that is the way it was intended to be, from what I understand. However, tampons, bananas, zucchini, carrots, etc. have ruined this for some people!

Answer 9

this is a hard one to answer .Only you know if you want to wait or not and why you can't to. what's the hurry? or on the other hand, you will know what you are gitting. but that you spoil the surprise ,,, so wait for the big day and lay back and enjoy. ;]
