I completely kow how you feel I went through the same thing with my husband the only man I was ever with and still with. I couldnt wait for him to marry me so I could finally enjoy our sexual relations,I even remember crying during sex the guilt was so bad and I'm not even Catholic but in my faith along with most this is a major sin.  I dont your stat with you boyfriend but it wont get better until he marries you .  I bet you had parents who made you feel like everything you did you go to hell for.  I will end it saying this even though it will only help if you can truly belive it yourself "God is mericiful,and his mercy out weights his wrath",also I bet you boyfreind thinks your parents brainwashed the hell into you to make you feel this way and he probably hates your religion because of that..Good Luck I hope you can have a wholesome satisfing relationship soon and feel good about your relationship with god.

The Catholic faith does not permit premarital sex.

No it is not.  It is called the sin of fornication.  That is what sex before marriage is called.  Certainly a true Christian would not be actively engaged in sex before marriage.  A true Christian, who made a mistake, would be repentant and try not to be doing it anymore.

That depends on the situation. My wife and I felt that we were married in spirit before we were married on paper. Our daughter was born 4 months after we were married on paper, but we feel that she was conceived in the loving bond of spiritual marriage. If other people do not agree, that is their problem.\n\nI am not justifying a promiscuous lifestyle. A spiritual bond is more important than a legal bond, in my opinion, and in the situation that you are spiritually bound to another, I do not see the problem with it. Other's may not agree, however.

I have no idea. Personally I don't have a problem with sex before marriage as I would want to know what I was getting before I got married to a man for life. Not that sex is all a relationship is but I think it's an important part. I don't think you should sleep around indiscrimately regardless of being married or not though.

Religion often makes us feel guilty about the most common human experiences, usually related to sex. This clearly contradicts nature. Sex is sex. If you're of the legal age, with another consenting adult, and aware of the risks/protection, then knock yourself out. This really has nothing to do with morals, mostly just religion.

If you are religious, it is wrong to have sex before you are married.  It is a sin, it's called fornication.

If the person has truly found Jesus and has repented of that unfortunate decision there is forgiveness and a new life in Christ. Then if that person is honest with the person they are going to marry I would see no problem in that.

Yes.\n\nJudeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:\n1. Single people should be celibate.\n2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).\n\nThe Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."\n\nChastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.\n\nMasturbation is contrary to the human dignity of the person and anyone about whom the person has lustful thoughts, and the dignity of human sexuality.\n\nWith love in Christ.

I believe in sex before marriage. I don't believe people should just sleep around though. If you've been with a person for awhile and truly loves them, I think it's ok to have sex.

they look at paul as their role model, who was celibate, and also try to be, though he said that theyre better off being married if they're going to want sex, than to want it while swearing it off, and being tempted all the time.  celibacy is not for everyone, only very few, and priests really should not have to remain in that condition unless they feel that they actually can, and it should be a personal choice

I really don't think it's an issue of what's wrong or right or if you "sin" that's a bad thing.  The point of all the preaching is about what is best for you spiritually.  The people that do the preaching have turned it into what's bad and good and make it a morality issue.  \n\nReally, what you need to think about is what does sex do to you.  Promiscuous sex solely for seeking pleasure can run the risk of addiction, disease, etc., and isn't good for the soul or heart.  In a karmic sense, sex in marriage as an expression of love is less of an attachment - meaning one is less likely to get caught up in it and with love and responsibility of the marriage it kind of nullifies the lust from sex.\n\nSo the question is what is your spiritual quest or goal?  Nothing?  Just getting to heaven?  Or do you want to become a saint?  If you just want to get to heaven then I don't think sex in marriage or with commitment and love will keep you from that.  If you're looking to be a saint then letting go of desires and being celibate is probably necessary.

In the bible it says that sex before marriage is wrong if there is no commitment between two people. "Marriage" as referred to in the bible is symbolic for a relationship/connection/love/commitment.\n\nThus you don't need to be married (literally) to have sex but you need to be committed.\n\nI feel that it is all about morals and there is no right or wrong. it's your own decision. Personally I believe that sex before commitment/love is wrong

No, if he is a virgin he is probably nervous and feeling guilty. If he is feeling guilty he may not be able to get off.

Sex with another woman when you are married is not innocent...(It can also give you sexually transmitted diseases.) It is disrespectful to your relationship and to your wife.  How would you feel if your wife is having sex with another person?  Even though it is okay in your religion, it is not okay in your relationship because you have made a commitment to love your wife.  Think before you do something that you'll regret.  Good luck.

dear mohammad i don't know where do you live,i guess you are in west,but your name says that you are muslim .i am muslim girl .in islam girl shouldn't have sex before marriage.of course we feel love and romance but our religion and traditions protects us from falling.it's a great protection for the girl and for her husband in the future who will be happy to be the first man touching her and will feel happy that this woman will bring up his children.and believe me this is not only in islam but also in christianity.the christ and the holy bible order people to stay away from sex without marriage but these morals have changed in the west due to ideas of liberity.liberity is very important for everybody but it doesn't mean making sins.God bless you daer friend and your future wife and protect your children from her.

If a Catholic were to become weak, and in that moment of weakness commit a sin, then the church would forgive him when he asked for it.  If he were to become weak, and in that weakness stop going to the church, then the members of his church would come looking for him.  If he were to become weak, and in that weakness have sex, and in that act create a child, and in fear or a knowledge of the concequences allow for an abortion, the church turns his back on him.  THe catholic church is wonderful at having back up plans for everything, but their priorities on sex are squewed.  A condom is a backup plan.  In case I'm weak, I have this.  It's the same as having the number for a cab when you go to a bar.  In case I'm weak, I have this.  They will forgive a rapist, but a teenager who gives in to temptation is on their own.  Abstinence is hard in todays society, especially for those who don't have the self confidence to stand up to peer pressure.  Give them a back up plan!  In case they're weak...
