POLL : pre marital relations?

of course, yay.

It is an infantile superstition of the human spirit that virginity would be thought a virtue and not the barrier that separates ignorance from knowledge.

Nay

Well...it feels YAY, but the big picture is NAY. I'm trying myself not to give in.

YAY....

For any and all pre-marital relations that do not produce unwanted children or spread diseases.

The Practicing of Safe sex by responsible adults is the key to reducing the number of abortions and the number of children who will grow up in poverty as well as reduce the number of STD's that plague our healthcare system.

I was raised to save myself for marriage but I didn't. I don't regret it. Sex is important in a relationship and is hard not to do in this day and age. Even all the guys at my church have had sex. It's a sad thing but this world has come to it. You can't really save yourself anymore. And if you do, you won't find someone else who has. As long as you aren't sleeping around and being a ho bag, I don't see anything TOO wrong about it.

Well define "relations."

I believe it's better to have no sexual intercourse until marriage, but there's nothing wrong with pursuing a romantic relationship.

It is no longer dangerous in this day and age as we have contraception, so go ahead. Just be honest with everyone about your intentions, lying is still wrong even if rubbing genitals isn't :)

Of course. Sex is a perfectly natural function when done properly and carefully and with consent can be an enjoyable and beautiful thing.

nay.

it is a sin to indulge in pre-marital sex.

Nope.
