sex before marriage?

It makes no sense to me either. My husband and I had plenty of sex before we were married. No regrets. I also had sex with other people before I met him. No regrets there either.

Then again, I don't believe in sin, and I don't believe in fairy tales. My moral compass is completely internal and my conscience is clean.

No, you are not crazy. As a matter of fact you are quite normal. I think most people say you shouldn't have sex until you are married because it has been hammered into their skulls since childhood. Marriage is over rated. It is an institution created by men and for men. In the past when a woman married a man she became him property and a free domestic servant whose only jobs were to clean, cook, and bare children. This is still true for the modern wife who also works for a living. However, now that women have become independent, we don't need men to keep us. So, if you are planning on not getting married then, no, you can't be expected to never have sex. Never having sex is unnatural. We are sexual beings and our sex drives and the fact that sex is very pleasurable proves it. Also, waiting does not make it more pleasurable but being with someone you love with all your heart does. There is a distinct difference between having sex and making love. Now that I've said all this, I have to be responsible enough to say that you need to make sure that you are ready both physically and psychologically. I don't know how old you are, but there are very good reasons why a minor should not have sex. Here are a few and I'm sure you've heard this all before. Aids, STDs, and Pregnancy. Please make sure you consider all the consequences before you make any decision.

I don't know why they believe that sex before marriage is wrong. I think it is your personal choice, I do believe that it is an expression of feelings and should be treated as something special. However waiting does not make it anymore special....I was married and divorced before I realized it could be something extraordinary!! ; ) Follow your heart.

Actually, it's more of a tradition in this country (USA). Our society started out from Christian religions that wished to escape England. Most people that even when they have no religion, still keep this as one of those "Well, that's what my mother did, her mother, and her mother before her, and so on and so forth." It's a past down thing that we do. Then, if you have religion, your views generally tell you something on this. My Catholic beliefs tell me not to have premarital sex, and if that makes me crazy in your eyes, then I'm sorry, but then again, it's a free country, live the way you want to live even if it might be deviant.

Well, I'm a Christian and I believe in waiting until marriage. If someone else doesn't believe they should wait, then that's their opinion. Everyone doesn't have the same beliefs. People shouldn't be so closed minded.

Because it is in the Torah, Bible and Qur'an to wait to have sex until marraige. Also a man will respect a woman more if he knows that she saved herself for him and hasn't been with anyone else besides him.

Waiting until you have sex makes it so much more special

Well it is true that God said we are to wait, and that is reason enough. But aside from that, waiting does make it alot more special. When your spouse is you "one and only" and/ or you get to be theirs, it's better than words can desctibe. God knew what He was talking about when He said that. But even if He hadn't, it would be more than worth the wait.

sex before marriage...yes
