God calls premarital sex a form of "Pornea".  Pornea is the Greek word for pornographic.  A lot of differant things fall under the catagory, Biblically such as homosexuality, pictures and prostitution, not to mention premarital sex.  Sex is to be enjoyed by men and women that are married to each other, not to be taken advantage of by unmarried people.

same could be said why sex is so important to you people after marriage...whats the difference? ok, obviously no one wants to be with a "whore" but then again i think that people would want to be with someone that is experienced, i know i would. Cause lets face it, peoples sex lives play a very important role in marriage today, 73% of marriages fail due to this and/or they are deeply troubled because spouses are not faithful and loyal to their signifficant other due to inexperience or unfullfillment in that department. I for one, would like to know that my souse can not only satisfy me spiritually, emotionally but also physically. now, with that said, there are those that feel this way, and then there are those who are extremely active. to each his own but thats where i stand. Hopefully my answer has shed some light on the opposite side of you acusations.

I'm going to take a guess here since I can't be sure what a buch of ***'s refer to. Here are the precepts that can be gleaned from the Bible regarding sexual practices between married couples.\n\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - What Does the Bible Say?\nCouples often ask, "Is oral sex a sin?" The best place to look for answers is in the Bible. Hebrews 13:4 says, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." The first point the Bible makes very clear is that sex - all types - is designed specifically for married couples. Non-married couples are not to practice premarital sex. \n\nThe Bible never indicates exactly what a husband and wife are allowed to do in their sexual relationship. However, there are some sexual principles that we can consider. \n\n\n\nMutual Consent - 1 Corinthians 7:5 says, "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." This verse indicates that each sexual activity should be mutually agreed upon. \n\n\nAdultery is Sin - The Bible is very clear that any form of adultery is sin, even if both people in a marriage relationship agree to it. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God." Adultery also includes "swapping" or adding sexual partners. \n\nViewing Pornography is a Sin - Matthew 5:28 is very clear. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Pornography viewed alone or together as a couple is sin. 1 John 2:16 says, "For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."\n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Practical Application\nWhen answering the question "Is oral sex a sin," it is important to remember that God created sex to be a beautiful expression of love for married couples. When the husband or the wife does not feel that sex is a "beautiful expression of love," then changes need to be made in that couple's sex life. Evidentially, the actions are not mutually beneficial to each person. Nothing in the Bible says that oral sex is a sin, however it may not be appropriate for every couple. \n\nIs Oral Sex A Sin - Questions to Consider\nConsider these questions when answering the question "Is oral sex a sin?"\n\nIs oral sex voluntary and have both the husband and wife agreed to it?\n\n\nWhy do you want oral sex? Is it for pure sexual pleasure or is it to fulfill a sexual fantasy derived from porn?\n\n\nHave you or your spouse been convicted by the Holy Spirit that oral sex is wrong?\n\n\nDoes oral sex edify and fulfill both you and your spouse?\nWhile answering these questions, pray for guidance from God. He will reveal the answer to you - for your relationship. \n\nhttp://www.allaboutgod.com/is-oral-sex-a-sin.htm

If you are a Christian you won't have sex until you're married at which time it won't matter. It's basically up to the couple then if they want a baby or not. Nice try though but as I said a Christian would not have sex outside of marriage.

First of all, as a fellow brother in Christ, I want to commend you on your commitment to save sex for marriage. Too often we see people today giving into the pleasure of a few minutes, only to suffer a lifetime of pain and hurt in the future.\n\nI don't normally answer questions on here, but the situation you are in is too similar to mine for me to ignore.\n\nI have been a Christian all my life, and constantly seek to glorify Him by living and dedicating my life to Him. I also believe that sex is the ultimate expression of physical love, and is the most special gift anyone can present to the person that they want to dedicate the rest of their life to. If someone commits premarital sex, they are giving that gift away, and tarnishing any future romantic relationships they may have.\n\nNow, obviously, I am a virgin; and am extremely proud of this fact. I cannot wait to let my future wife know that I've saved myself for her. Instead of channeling my energy and resources to fulfill sexual needs, I instead look to strengthen my character and serve others.\n\nBut I've recently fallen for this girl.... She's a born again Christian, who was saved this past summer. However, her previous life was filled with sin, as she drank and had sex with guys before me, enough guys to number on 2 hands.\nI was so devastated when I found out. I was literally torn because I only had one romantic relationship before this point, and had only gone as far as a kiss.\nNeedless to say, I was more than a little hurt. In fact, I don't believe anything or anyone else hurt me as much as she did when she told me that.\nI was ready to just end things at that point.\n\nBut then I remembered. If God, who is the only one who is perfect and holy, can forgive us for all our sins without judgment, who are we to judge others and use their past against them. If she really came to God after her mistakes of the past, and surrendered herself to his forgiveness and mercy, then she is literally, emotionally, and spiritually a new person.\nGod calls us to forgive one another, and if a perfect God can forgive our sins, both past and current, without question (as long as we are sincere!) and love us with the greatest love of all; shouldn't we as Christians (who are also guilty of sin) replicate that love toward one another?\n\nI'm not saying it's easy. My heart aches and burns daily from the suffering that her past brings to me. But I trust that God will allow us to overcome this obstacle, and allow our relationship to prosper. As the first guy she even kissed after God came into her life, I know that she's changed.\nI'm going to continue to trust in God that He will allow me to get over her past; because who she is now is someone who makes me happy and has allowed me to experience love.\n\nIf you really love your girlfriend, pray about it. She's a new person now, she has Jesus in her.\nPlease keep Jesus Christ in the center of your life and of your current relationship. That's the only way that your relationship will be able to reach it's true potential.\n\nBe blessed.\n\nIn Him....

Hi. I am a Christian woman. I am married now, but did have sex before marriage. I was not a Christian at that time, but did struggle with temptations as a Christian before marriage. I give all glory and credit to Jesus for giving my husband and I the strength to resist temptation before marriage. Our first kiss as a couple was at the altar.\nI think that a vast majority of people who claim Christianity as their religion either do not understand their claim well enough for it to be true and sincere in them or they are too caught up in the temptations of life and not caught up in the focus and strength of Christianity - namely Jesus Christ and His accomplishments in life, death, and the resurrection.\n\nIt is disturbing the number of people who claim allegiance to Christ and then fail to follow Him in His commands. None of us is perfect. Biblically we are all sinners in need of our Savior, Christ, and this issue is yet further proof that becoming a Christian isn't an instant fix of flaws. Christianity is meant to be a process of growing in relationship with the Savior who saved us once from eternal damnation in hell and is saving us daily from our own weakness toward sin which brings death into our lives (although some sins bring death of emotional, relational, social, spiritual, etc. not just the regular physical death you think of.) Those people who are truly "saved" and living daily in a relationship with Jesus Christ through His presence in our lives will WANT to or be motivated to "do the right thing" because we want to please Him. Those who claim Christianity as only a Sunday service or social lifestyle simply will not find the strength or reason, when it comes down to temptation, to do the right thing, or they do it for the wrong reason only to give in later. The reason is that they have not really "meet" Jesus Christ and confronted their need for salvation in a sincere way or they have, but they choose the religious box over the relationship that changes a life.\n\nI hope that helps a little. I applaud you in your stand for No Sex Before Marriage. That is an honorable decision that is too foreign in today's society.

Heb 13:4  Let marriage be kept honorable in every way, and the marriage bed undefiled. For God will judge those who commit sexual sins, especially those who commit adultery. \n\n1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

In this day and age where sex is THROWN at young people it is very hard to stay pure. I did not have sex until I was married BUT I fornicated with 3 men before I met my husband and I hurt myself and I hurt God. According to Websters dictionary fornication is any sexual act outside of marriage (I don't just mean a affectionate hug or a quick kiss on the cheek). I think it is beautiful that you are a virgin and Satan is a liar and says sex and fornication are free Honey it came with a HEAVY price when I had to humble myself to my beloved husband when were were engaged and tell him that I have had experience even though I did not have actual sex, my husband chose to marry me anyway and I am humbled and grateful. The 10-15 minutes of pleasure are NOT worth the consequences of hurt and betrayal. I hope this helps and God bless you for posting.

I don't think I agree with you here.  What does wearing a condom have to do with having premarital sex.  Has alot to do with not getting pregnant but nothing to do with not having premarital sex.  I believe Christian adults are doing a very poor job with our children in teaching them the holiness of sex within marriage -- of teaching them how to be set apart from this world -- of teaching them very early in life about sex and how it is intended to be a blessing to two people within the marriage covenant.  \n\nThe selling of sex in our culture around us permeates the thoughts and minds of our Christian young people because we have not taught them how to separate themselves from this world.  We let them view sexually stimulating movies and then are surprised when they act out the immoral sexual activity they have viewed on the movie screen.\n\nChristians are called to no longer conform to this world.  I see much more conforming of young Christians to the world than I see the world being transformed by young Christians.  And sadly that is because many adult Christians interact with the world in the same way.

That Bible does teach that, it can be a bummer if you aren't married whether you do or don't.  If you do, you feel guilty (at least I do) and if you don't then you are frustrated.  I would rather be frustrated (but, not always).  I am still working on it and as long as I am not seeing someone I am in the clear.

Most cultures have taboos regarding premarital sex.  Some have evolved from religious beliefs while others are merely a traditional more.  I think it is important for an individual to decide what role sex will play in their whole being.  If sex is just a rhythmic release of raging hormones and something to experience for pleasure then pre or post marital doesn't matter.  If however, a person views sex as the ultimate culmination of an evolving relationship between two people, then it takes on a more mysterious, almost religious aura...that special sex that binds a covenant between lovers should be reserved for marriage. Regardless of the level that sex plays in your life, it is imperative that you practice safe sex...not just to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, but rather to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases like HIV-AIDS, hepatitis, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea , and herpes.

Two virgin sisters would like to have children, so they get their father drunk, have sexual intersourse with him, and get pregnant. (Genesis 19:30-36)\n\nAn old king can no longer get an erection, so a beautiful young girl is put to bed with him. But alas! even she can't get a rise out of him. (1 Kings 1:1-4)\n\nA woman pretends to be a prostitute and entices her father-in-law to have intercourse with her. He does, and lo! nine months later she bears twin boys. (Genesis 38:12-30)

well, I think everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion, but let me ask you all this: Say you have been dating someone for a long, long time, know all about them, and think they are your perfect match, your soul mate.  I'm talking, that one person that is perfect for you in any and every way and you know you could never live without. Then, the first and only time you have sex is a horrible experience for one/both of you and you decide that because of that one time, the future between the two of you is doomed.....? To me, that sounds like a really stupid reason to not want to marry someone...if you really loved them, you would be able to "work" on it and look past it. Of course it would be diffcult to be with someone that cant please you the way you want them to, but with time and a continued strong relationship, it will happen.\nI, personally, am saving myself for marriage for both personal and religious reasons.  I'm not going to lie and say that it has been easy to remain a virgin, but I know that by doing so, I am saving a wonderful experience for my husband and I to share, as well as avoiding a number of problems that can come along with premarital sex.

Real simple: MARRY HER! What you're implying- SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE- is called "fornication" by God, which is SIN! You are VERY SELFISH! All you want to do is USE HER for your own gratification! The fact that you say you want to "convince her to go farther" PROVES this! You need to REPENT OF YOUR WICKEDNESS! See yourself as a LOST, GUILTY, HELL DESERVING SINNER! You are guilty of breaking God's law! "Thou shalt not commit adultery". Jesus said that if you "look on a woman to lust after her", you've "committed adultery with her already in your heart." (Matthew 5:27&28). Dude, you are A SLAVE TO YOUR PASSIONS! You are CONSUMED WITH LUST! Sex and all of the wonderful feelings that go with it are GOD GIVEN, and therefore "very good" as He pronounced after He had made Adam and Eve. But they were MARRIED! And that is why they were "naked and not ashamed". I would dare to say that your "girlfriend" is not your FIRST "fling", IS SHE? Are you still A VIRGIN? Even if you are OUTRIGHT, it's obvious you're not IN YOUR HEART! And I can guarantee that you are hooked on PORN, right? That stuff is DEADLY! You fill your mind and heart with ALL SORTS OF FILTH AND PERVERSION AND WICKEDNESS, and then you wonder WHY you have NO CONTROL over your passions! You're a slave to SATAN! The Bible rightly calls the devil "the god of this world". He ALWAYS takes what God has created as good and right and beautiful and perverts it into something very UGLY AND WICKED AND WRONG! That is what SIN is all about! The Bible speaks of "the pleasures of sin FOR A SEASON." You can "go all the way" or "part way", but EITHER WAY, it's still S-I-N!!! And it's basis is PRIDE! Notice how BOTH of those words have the letter "i" in the center! That's your problem: you are SELF CENTERED! You need to REPENT (turn from your sin and yourself) and TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SINS AND THE WRATH TO COME! One day you will die, and then you'll have to face the inevitable: ACCOUNTABILTY TO YOUR CREATOR FOR EVERY THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED! God loves you, and that's why Jesus Christ died on the cross for you! I beseech you sir: TURN FROM YOUR WICKED, SELF CENTERED WAYS TO CHRIST! And you need to do so TODAY! Tomorrow is too late! (You do NOT know when you'll die, now, DO YOU?) Quit being like so many OTHER guys today: A SELF CENTERED WHOREMONGER! Stop having this SICKENING mentality of just USING GIRLS for your own selfish pleasure! It really IS disgusting how so many guys will just SAY "I love you" to a girl SOLELY so they can "get what they want"! Love is A COMMITMENT! Everything else is LUST! And that is DESTRUCTIVE and ultimately leads to DEATH: Death in your body (STD'S); Death in relationships (resentment, mistrust, disrespect, divorce); Death in eternity (Hell fire for ever!). THINK ABOUT IT, AND TAKE HEED!

The only way a man can legally have sex (by Biblical standards) is to do it in the institution of marriage. All other sexual encounters outside of marriage is sin. Promiscuous sex is not condoned by God. We have many in this country that are living together, having sex, families, etc. without being married. The Bible clearly defines this activity as an abomination. Sorry, I didn't write the rulebook, but you asked. I am 60 years old, and I have been married to the same woman for 35 years, and have never had sex with anyone else. God's rules work if you let them. I am proud of marriage, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for asking - it allowed me to respond!!

Yes, of course I do. I don't particularly agree with marriage so it would make no sense for me to disagree with premarital sex.\nWhatever floats your boat.
