how come gurls who indulge in pre-marital sex were regular chuchgoers?

Churchgoers or not, irregardless of status in life, nowadays teens are exposed early in pre-marital sex. Would you believe, some girls would have sex with their male friends for just the heck of a good time? They don't care, they just want to be thrilled at the moment.

Yes, there are regular churchgoers who can go wayward. But that research actually has those columns and the incidences of pre-marital sex among different sub-groups. And the incidence is NOT necessarily the highest among regular churchgoers, even if there are girls from this group who engage in premarital sex.

No, there is no one-to-one relationship between church and premarital sex.

So why do girls do it? Well, primarily because the boys egg them to allow it, insisting that they "prove to him" that she loves him. Actually a very irresponsible ploy, but this trick still works.

There was a campaign before that teaches girls to JUST SAY NO. I say sex education should start at home, with parents teaching the kids. The more they know, the less they will experiment.

Thank you for bringing this up. Helpful to our big audience out there.

I actually agree with all the answers above.

Firstly just because a person goes to church doesn't mean s/he will/does obey all the Commandments. Who are all these girls having sex with, is it with the 'innocent' boy.

I think if that survey used other fields of comparison it would gleen a clearer picture e.g. how many girls who drink soda have had pre-marital sex or how many girls who wear denim jeans have had pre-marital sex etc. etc.

There are people who really feel they can break whatever law/rule pleases them and that all is forgiven as long as they go to church on Sunday and follow up with a confessional with a 'promise not to do it again' and so the cycle continues.

Because church is for the sinners..that is the purpose of religion - so people can cleanse themselves from evil. If people were perfect and righteous, there will be no need for Jesus. Virginity before marriage doesnt constitute the entirety of merit of an individual soul..and to hastily make such a claim, is bigotry.

Morality is a factor for many people when deciding whether or not to have premarital sex. Is it a factor for you? After all, the messages we receive from most TV shows and movies these days tells us "everyone is doing it." In light of today's permissive attitude, your peers may think you're weird to even question it.

But maybe there is something inside you, like a voice in your head, that is making you uncertain about whether or not sex before marriage is a right or wrong action. Many people refer to this voice as their conscience. How can you know if your "conscience" is right?

Most people don't consider the emotional effects of premarital sex. You see, sex is an emotional experience and it affects our lives in ways we don't understand. After engaging in premarital sex, many people express feelings of guilt, embarrassment, distrust, resentment, lack of respect, tension, and so much more.

Why is this? Yes, sex is pleasurable, but in God's view, the primary purpose of sex is not recreation, but rather re-creation.

It's because they are just like other girls. They have hormones, boyfriends, and want to find out about sex. But the better and bigger answer to your question is probably that while they do go to church, they have not fully matured as Christians, so they are still subjected to temptations like any one else. Additional many girls who attend church do so because it is required by their parents and not of their own free will. So, maybe many would not be attending if they had a choice, and it is a large part of that population that admits to having premarital sex.

1. It could be a biased survey.

2. It could also be a case of a biased author referering to a certain survey.

3.Anybody is prone to temptation.Catholics and even Protestants.

Jesus calls us to "watch and pray."

Premarital Sex and Emotional Baggage

I always warn students about the emotional consequences of premarital sex. Unlike the physical consequences (pregnancy, etc), emotional consequences happen 100% of the time. They are an unavoidable part of sexual intimacy outside of God’s will.

One of these consequences is emotional baggage. I’ll explain this:

I’ve done some research and had some frank discussions with some of my (male) friends who engaged in premarital sex. Here's what I've learned: their past sexual relationships followed them into their marriage bed. They visually compared their wives to previous sexual partners. Past experiences came to their mind while in bed with their spouses. As you can imagine, there’s a great deal of guilt and grief over this. They were not able to enjoy the full freedom and intimacy that comes with sexual purity.

Such cases, of course, are not hopeless—many of these guys have gone on to have happy marriages. It seems time helped them heal from the past. But I’m sure all of them would have saved themselves for their wives if they could do it all over again.

Think about your own life. What will you bring to your spouse on your wedding night—purity or emotional baggage? If you have saved your virginity, keep saving it for your spouse—you will not regret it. If you’ve already given it away, I advise you to make some changes and stop collecting baggage.

i am not one of those girls. in fact, i hate going to church, it is soooo boring...

but i won't deny that i indulged in pre-marital sex when i was younger. my husband and i grew up together and we've been together since we were in high school. we were lucky because i didn't get pregnant before we finished college. i got pregnant right after college and we got married 6 months after i gave birth to our daughter.

and i still admit that i'm not a church-going type. it's boring. besides, i don't think god even grants wishes no matter how much you pray and go to church.

Who do you suppose those girls (spelled G I R L S ) are having sex with? Could it be with boys? Is that boy without responsibility? Do you think that boy might have persuaded the girl in some way? Maybe they both could share some blame since you are looking to fix blame and guilt on someone.

Before you tie her up to a tree and light a fire under her, you might consider your own faults and transgressions. Unless you are God Himself, you have no business nor authority to judge anyone else.

And, on this topic you brought up, unless you yourself are a virgin, you need to shut up.

They go to church because they make it as scapegoat. They're just being superficial. Make other people think and believe that they are good. And once they go to church they believe they are being absolve with their sins.

Even Satan goes to church. Not to pray but to check and count his followers.
