Sex before marriage...?

here's a question for you all...after seeing more and more questions popping up on here about people's thoughts on the whole above mentioned topic I just wanted to ask...

is it the general theory that as soon as sex becomes an issue, he loses respect for you? Or, is it that as soon as you do, you're doing wrong? I always thought it was a case of love and trust surpasses what goes on behind closed doors. Well, it does for me I've been with my OH for nearly 10 years, we have a son together who is 2 and we're getting married next year. It just seems that, I've done all the things that married couples do, just without the piece of paper and a change in name (that comes next year!), and so far everything is fine. I'm not damned or anything haha!

I just thought I'd ask what people's general thoughts were really. And no abuse...to each their own. :)

    to me even before me and my husband married i felt married because when you fit with someone and your compatible and in love with each other ,what does paper mean i have many friends who have been together for 10 and 20 years and there not married but most my friends are and so am i ,you can make it however you want,i know why marriages fail once your married doesant mean the fun has to stop just because you have kids does not even mean the fun has to stop,i have 2 kids me and my husband dont go out lots but we do have great in nights even a bit wild .in the end why should it change anything ,if something starts to change you you feel less loved me vocal about it,sadly now a day when people get married that's it ,its like lets get into this boring routine,NO get out there have fun have give each other lots of hugs and squeezing of the bum good luck dont worry nothing should change when your one.xxx

    Its not that as soon as sex becomes an issue he loses repsect - he'll lose respect if it happens too soon. They like sex, but they want to chase you for it (but not too much of a chase.)

    Personally I think if theres love, and trust, then it doesnt matter at all if you're not married - some ppl never want to get married! That doesn't mean they're wrong or unethical.

    It's just that people tend to judge umarried people coz they cant 'figure them out' but all you gotta do is ignore those ppl, they're ignorant.

    At the end of the day, if you're happy, who cares if ur married or not? x

    really depends on your values and yours alone not others. personally I think hell ya and as for respect that is something that is either there or not before or after is something they lose it. they don't know the difference between being chased for it and that is it vs someone who really does care for them. as to weather it is right or wrong depends on the person but it is a natural thing to do and it feels good. if 2 consenting adults do it I think right on hopefully they enjoyed it and played safe or have to deal with the fall out if there is any. I don't think anyone else really should have a say in what you and someone else do behind closed doors unless you open them and ask questions or have them join you. marriage paper is just the goverment and religion giving their stamp of approval on your situation. and shows those around you that you jumped thru that hoop

    My auntie and uncle have a son who's seven and a daughter who's six, they've been together since before I was born and they never got married. Don't do it just because you think you should, it's not an important part of love.

    As for your question of damnation, I don't know how much you'll value my answer, since mine is one of the few religions that actually condones and in fact encourages sex.

    Remember, if it was evil or purely biological, it wouldn't be fun! Be who you are, be human, and don't feel illogical guilt for something oyu do that isn't hurting anyone or yourself.

    Well my personal opinion is to wait, but in certain cases it has worked out for people not to, but it is very rare for it to work out---Just think about it this way, sex=babies, condoms=protection, bc pills=protection, condom breaks=babies, forget to take pills=babies, decide not to use condom=babies-----SO, SEX=BABIES---if you aren't ready for a baby, I suggest not letting the cherry pop until there is a ring on the finger ;)

    i never have and never will believe sex before marriage is right

    so it worked out for you, great, you are one in a million on that one

    you're not damned until you're dead by the way

    maybe you meant to say nothing bad happened to you, ok, like i said, you're one in a million on taht one

    its no reason for anyone else to expect it will go well for them too, that's all i'm saying
