i thought that and stayed with that until i was a freshman.  where i met a guy, my first boyfriend and kiss.  he turned out to be my first everything.  i was curious, so we did it.  i think it was a big mistake and has ruined some parts of my life.  i say you should stay abstience from sex before you are older or married.\n\nps:  age 16

not all girls do. in fact, i would go out on a limb and say MOST dont save sex for marriage. But there are some of us who do. I'm a Christian, and thats part of my beliefs.\nim not talking about saving it for someone special, that just proves my point that women in the US dont value themselves.

I am still a virgin, because I am not married. It annoys me so much that people now think that marriage is an option before having sex.

i had sex before i was married, i lost my virginity young and did not care to stop did not think of the fact that god did not like that , that it was a sin. i finaly stopped at 21 years of age, and repented for my many years of sin of having sex befor mariage and did not have sex till  i turned 25 when i got married. so yes i believe i was forgiven, but i still wish i had not had sex till marriage.

"believe in" is a strange way to put it. It isn't Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.  It is a choice. Some people choose not to because of thier religion, others don't.  Whatever works for you. Some people are OK with it, and others can't handle it.  But once you reach a certian age, it is normal and accepted that you will have premarital sex - sexual compatibility is as important as any and every other type of compatibility in a marriage.  It is probably best if teens don't have premarital sex, but they for the most part will. But after age 18 or so, the 'dangers' become less - and people need to grow up sometime. It is bible versus reality.

I don't think that 'marriage' should come before sex; I think a true, loving commitment should come before sex.  Marriage is just a piece of paper or a ceremony that represents that, but a lot of marriages are made without that commitment.\n\nPeople can have casual sex and do well, but generally, having sex first before a relationship and dedication can muck things up.  That's my two cents!

No, if a Muslim decides he/she never wants to get married they r not allowed to have sex outside marriage.. It is considered a sin. Also Christians in the Eastern cultures u r talking about do not have premarital sex, they consider it a sin. There r Muslims and Christians who do not commit to that but they know it is a sin anyway.

well you really shouldn't do it. I wish I had saved my virginity for my husband.... No you should do it because then you get it out of your system.... no you shouldn't do it what will you tell your children.... DO IT!!!! How else will you get the experience... DON'T DO IT!!! Let yourselves learn from one another. This is how I feel but as for the rest of society I really have no clue. It is something you will have to figure out for yourself. It is one of those things that you know what is right but tend to do what is "wrong". If you believe in God, He thinks that pre marital sex is wrong.

you got it. Its a cultural thing. Its a sin to indulge in pre marital sex. for 18 or more years they are told its wrong to have sex before marriage. You cannot convince them over a few months to change such an instilled value. Unless they agree on their own. And don't you dare go on forcing yourself on them because its not your right to do so.

Uhh...I think it is not a matter of religion but of a moral standpoint.  I do not believe there is anything anywhere that says "You cannot have sex untill you are married."  Like I said...maybe it was a moral issue in the 1900's.  You know what....I think you are on to something.  If people would wait until they got married to have sex there would be less spread of disease, abortion and teen pregnancy.  Plus...if you get AIDS could you imagine yourself saying that "The sex was WAY worth it!"  lol  Is it really so bad?  Half the time I think it is more fun on my own anyway.  hahahaha

Unfortunately we have, as a society, divorced sex from marriage and even from relationship.  Because it is so freely availible in so many forms, some men balk at the idea that it is anything more than a biological function.\n\nDon't despair, there are still men out there who understand the two are related.  My husband was 36 when we got married.  We waited.  I met him at church, so we had the same values.\n\nI didn't think I would ever meet an eligible bachelor in church.  I went there for years without a single one being there.  But God and the Marine Corps sent him here.\n\nThere is no higher compliment a man can pay you than to consider you worth the wait.

No, I don't.\nI will wait till married.\n\nThey who think as your question, I think it's just sex for pleasure. They don't think about marry at the moment, even about love ( if they really love each other, they would thinking about marry).\n\nMy opinion, virgin will marry with virgin, and not virgin with not virgin.

When you're ready to have sex you are ready to have sex.  If it's before marriage, cool.  If you're not ready until marriage, that's cool too.\nI think sexy before marriage is a good thing.  People speak of how it's more special when you save it.  But honestly if you wait until you're married you're going to suck at it.  Not being able to please your spouse on your honeymooon (a very special occasion) would be a shame.  On the other hand, if both partners are inexperieced they'll at least have a chance to grow and learn about sex together.\nHowever, I think it would be foolish to marry a person you've never slept with.  Sex is a very big part of relationships and if you marry a person without knowing  whether or not they can please you sexually you may find yourself in a very dissatisfied marriage.\nJust think about this:  Would you buy a new car without ever giving it a test drive?

Sex before marriage is sex without commitment.\n\nExodus 20:14, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Psalm 66:18, 1 Corinthians 13,\n John 8:11, 2 Timothy 2:22 and Genesis 39:7-12.\n\n If you do not like your partners, you can change and find somebody else. Such casual relationships destroy the integrity of the person by reducing it to an object to be used for personal gratification.\n\nSome, who feel hurt and used after sexual encounters, may withdraw altogether from sexual activity for fear of being used again or may decide to use their bodies selfishly, without regard to the feeling of others.\n\nSex? God created it and therefore it is reasonable to expect that it is good. But when man distorts it by ignoring God's specific standards, it becomes harmful and destructive. \n\nAn adulterer was a man who had sexual intercourse with a woman he was not married to, either a married woman or one who was engaged to be married.\n\nSex is a good thing and the only way to keep it a “good thing” is to follow God's guidelines.

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.
