Do you believe in sex before marriage?

I believe in doing whatever makes me happy. Why do people assume that someone has to be married to somebody else in order to have sex with them. Imagine I don't want to get married, ever - then what? I'm going to die a virgin? xD

I love to have sex and I love everything about it and I am not ashamed to admit it. If I want to have sex, I will and nobody is going to stop me. This is my body, my life and my choices. What I do in my bedroom, when I do it and with who is nobody else's business because it doesn't affect anybody else's life but mine. This of course doesn't mean that I will have sex just with anybody and endanger myself, but that also doesn't mean I will live by society's imaginary rules.

Don't let people get you down, do what makes you happy with whoever makes you happy : ))

Nope. I believe that sex is something incredibly special and should only be shared with one's husband and wife. I can list dozens of awesome reasons why it's better to wait until marriage. It's not for everyone, though, since many people don't have the patience. I'm not religious, btw, but I just think it's logically and morally better. I'm 20 y.o. virgin male in university and in a relationship for 4 years now. This is my first relationship and so far I can already reap the benefits of abstinence. Our relationship is grounded on trust, care, and genuine love that grew naturally over time. Our judgment was never clouded by lust or sex. Overall, abstinence allows you to get to know each other better, it relieves the pressure of thinking about sex too often, and lets you to connect emotionally and truly learn to support each other in life. I can go on and on, but that's what I think :)

Yes I do (i believe I don't need to add any detail) for my own reason and others should agree because humans are like nature things fall in place and if you don't believe in it than its just childish because you are creating fake value by thinking its better to get married first and than sex people have to remember that marriage is just a label with a definition and not an actual thing to physically stop humans from expression fun

I believe in sex before marriage, as long as:

1) The two people having sex with each other truly love each other.

2) The people having sex with each other are in a committed relationship.

3) The two people involved in having sex are truly ready to have sex

4) The sex that takes place is safe sex.

5) The woman on the side of the relationship when it turns sexual doesn't get pregnant before marriage and that the male doesn't impregnate her.

You'd be taking a big chance not exploring that part of a relationship before getting married. It's can be a very big problem being married to a person that doesn't have a reasonably similar sex drive. Getting married planning on "finding out how things go" is beyond risky. Honestly can't recommend it.

Of course, this is a socially and culturally loaded question. Different families, religions and communities around the world have traditional or progressive attitudes about sex before marriage.

No offense intended but asking people around the world (such as you are on Yahoo Answers) may be interesting but the answers won't be at all affective for making that decision for yourself.

Your heart knows the answer for yourself and your culture and if you aren't listening to it, you'd be making a mistake. Think through for yourself and stick to what you believe to be right for you.

I don't. Personally, I want to be the best i can be. Self discipline, is important to me. self control is hard but God makes it possible. I want to honor God with my body. Also, i want to respect my body for the person i will love forever, the one i will marry. Because you may think you love someone then months later love someone else, to me this is very disorderly. I don't know something in me tells me when i'm acting wrong, and that voice tells me i can be much better. And i want to be much better. That' just me. no right or wrong answer since you asked what we thought sex before marriage lol

Yea I agree, people like that still have morals, thats a thing that a lot of religous ppl refuse to accept. We are only human and we have sexual feelings, if you want to avoidthe guilt and marry just to have sex in marriage so that it is acceptable the marriage will eventually crumble, unrealistic expectations

I believe it's a couples' decision. However, if you're under age, I'm against it. 18 in the USA and 16 in the UK. also:

1. commited relationship, sure they will get married

2. safe- BC and/or condoms

3. emotionally ready- not just physically

4. I was 24 when I gave my man my virginity, we were each other's first and will be each other's last.

Sex is a seal between to people for life by God. It's a bonding agent us, Americans put way to much stock in.

On the flip side. Every one is so f####d UP any way it's hard to know who your with, with out going there first.
