sex is meant for procreating, anything else is an abberation?  Well how does that fit in with a couple who may not be able, for medical reasons, to have children?  Are they not allowed to have sex?  Are they looked upon by christians in the same way they look down on gays?  it makes no sense, there are too many loopholes in your interpretation of the Bible.\nI like gay people

To my knowledge, it isn't forbidden. Some people may not agree with it themselves, but I don't think there is anything that says it is not allowed. I even know of a couple who are inter-racially married(and have kids) that go to a local Baptist church.

Dear fellow child of God,\n\nThe Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy. \n\nThe Church specifically says, "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."\n\nWith love in Christ.

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

I am a Christian as well but I honestly dont see anything wrong with it. If two people love each other they should eb able to express it how they please, no matter what the orientation or preference is.

Studies have actually shown that kissing helps to boost the immune system. So go for it!  There are few diseases that can be realistically passed from a kiss, and none serious enough to really be of much concern.\n-Duo

According to the Christian religion it is wrong. Jesus said specifically not to say any bad words without a qualification that being in the bedroom is ok. Now, we have a free will but He said not to do it.

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.

Maybe not the best place to ask for non glib answers...\n\nWell, firstly you'd need do your research for yourself, if the bible defeniately says, in your opinion, that it's wrong to act on those desires.  It also might be important to think about whether it says it's wrong to be gay, ir just wrong to act on it.\n\nIf you believe it says it's wrong to act on gay feelings, and you are a committed Christian, then I guess you will have to stick with it, and try to get some proper help on how to deal with the feelings you have.  \n\nDon't run out and marry someone though.  No point pretending to like women in that way if you don't.  You'll just have to go without sex.  There are worse things that could happen you know.\n\nYou can't fit religion around what you feel like doing.\n\nWhich is one reason why I'm not religious.\n\nAnd i'd like to add...the bible may mention that it's wrong to have gay sex, but the ten commandments says you can't lie, and how many people go around lying without getting hassled by supposed forgiving chritians for it.  It's a rather hypocritical subject really that gets blown out of proportion.\n\nOne of the postings above had this to say of those with gay feelings..\n\n"They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided"  \n\nAnd good christians could do well to remember this.

I'm a Christian, but I'd be that Christianity declares that about 90% of sex is sinful.  I can't see how it was a sin to sleep with my wife a few months before we were going to get married anyway...Sex is not a dirty little act that should be shunned by everyone...but the church thinks so.

It's more of a yes and a no answer. If it's nothing nasty, it's ok. Don't go beyond a kiss. A kiss is far enough. No, because it might interfer with your studies. Think about it, the answer lies within you.

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.

My understanding is, anything sexual outside marriage or involving more than just the two of you is sinful.

Simply hugging is considered TABOO in countries such as KOREA AND JAPAN especially with the older generations. So if that's considered a TABOO can you imagine what it woould mean to kiss someone.  BTW ,,, I work in the USA and kissing is/can be considered SEXUAL HARRASSMENT.

I think its healthy..expecially if you don't have a significant other. Not sure if religions forbid it, I sure hope not, because we all do it....
