Why should I wait until marriage to have sex?

History tells us that this was a rule created a couple thousand years ago by a culture where men commonly sold their daughters into arranged marriages in return for land and/or goods. Since a virgin was considered more valuable than a non-virgin, fathers forbade their daughters from having sex until marriage. Obviously, attributing this rule to a vindictive God, subject to punishment of eternal torture after you die, was much more effective than to say that this was just a rule created by the man of the house, where the only punishment would be not getting sold off into a forced marriage.

But since I'm a dude, this rule wouldn't even apply to me anyway. So why should I bother to wait?

    Sex is forbidden because it causes our Kundalini to rise. and is a natural part of life.

    Of course anything that is natural is frobidden to the church.

    Does he understand you favor to attend till marriage? If he's been with you for 3 years and also you have not had sex then i imagine you are able to manage 6 more suitable years. Why gained't you get married till you're a minimum of 25? all and sundry i understand has gotten married formerly that (ok, maximum i understand have). you're truly 19 and he's truly 20. there is not any such element as too lengthy of a wait because it really is not about how lengthy it really is been, it really is about once you're comfortable making that dedication. I wish i might want to waited, i extremely do. and that i lost mine at the same time as i replaced into older than you're yet i will continuously ask your self it would want to be favor to have a honeymoon for the authentic objective of having a honeymoon (the "on my own" time). i don't experience sorry about dropping my virginity because i'm with that similar guy (regardless of a 2 year lengthy cut up), yet area of me needs that I hadn't given in so extremely.

    The answer for people who do not bother about someone else's morality is:

    The more partners you have, the more you expect subsequent "long term" partners to be an amalgamation of the "best parts" of all previous partners, to the detriment of any long-term monogamy. You will always be thinking about an earlier partner who did some part of the act in a different and better way. Even if this is just one partner out of dozens, it does erode your enjoyment of your current partner. If you are planning on a lifetime of one-light stands, though, constantly experiencing a vast variety of style, types, and talent ranges in love-making, this may never really impact you. So - if you do not ever expect to attempt to maintain a long-term relationship, go ahead and tap whatever will accept you. If you expect to choose someone as a "keeper" someday, then know they will not be able to be "all women" to you, so you might want to make both your lives easier by not banging half the continent beforehand. Of course you may also end up with a host of STDs, but that is another problem entirely and assumes your partner will be equally commited.

    Whatever you like, I don't care. Doesn't effect me.

    Just, you know, be responsible and think about things like birth control AND condoms since neither is 100% effective of their own, discuss with the person whom your having sex with about what will happen if a pregnancy DOES occur...It would also be a smart thing if you were to know if they are CLEAN...STDS are generally seen as a "negative" thing.

  • because God said so.

    Matthew 19:4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

    1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

    Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

  • You shouldn't.

    Nature has hard-wired men to have sex with many different women in order to create as diverse a gene pool as possible. Monogamy is actually what's unnatural.

    Just go for it dear. As long as condoms are used all the time and every time then there is no problem at all. Practice makes perfect so practice and enjoy !

    Because sex should be an intimate and deeply profound and personal act only to be shared with the person you wanna share the rest of your life with.

    Also, unwanted pregnancies and STDs aren't too cool.
