I want to have sex with my boyfriend but apparently sex before marriage isn t acceptable?

It depends on how religious you are, you realize that some people don't give a crap about sins and basically just ask for forgiveness when something has been done.

If you are true Catholic then they will say to wait until marriage.

Obviously the only reason you don't want to have sex yet is because a book is telling you that you will go to hell if you have sex before marriage. Seriously, just do what you want. As long as you aren't harming another person how bad could it be. If God is so mean that he would send you to hell and everyone else for that matter that didn't wait till marriage then you will probably do something else that is considered that much of a sin and be sent there anyways.

but apparently sex before marriage isn t acceptable?

- It isn't acceptable to psychopaths and morons, but we who have functional brain cells see no problem with it.

is this Catholic belief that it is bad to have sex before marriage.

- Try doing some actual research. There is nothing against sex in the bible EXCEPT what the church wrote in 1000 years ago, for the sole purpose to control people.

Is it so bad if I do it anyway?

- No, it isn't, but fundies will tell you that.

Is that the same thing or is sex like really bad?

- It makes no difference. All you have to do is kiss the ecclesiastical a$$ and you can be in heaven leading the choir with Hitler and Dahmer.

Yes, people do these things all the time and once, God destroyed the entire world because of it. Do you really think that good and bad depend on the number of people agreeing to them?

No, sex is not bad. It is wonderful and a gift from God but it was meant to be confined to marriage. What does the bible tell you to do in your circumstance? Or does the church you belong to, not teach you what the bible says?

I'll make it easy for you. It tells you to get married before you commit a sin and offend your creator.

BTW There is no such thing as a minor or major sin. All sin is rebellion against God. In His eyes, murder is no worse than stealing a paper clip from the office. None of those who rebel against God will be allowed in the next world.

P.S. The commandment was not to TAKE God's name in vain. That means not using it for a wrongful purpose or calling yourself one of His people when you are not or preaching in His name without authority. His name, by the way, is Jehovah.

Sure you want to have sex! Your young, healthy, and ready for the next step. But its dumb to call it Love when all you want do is drop your pants and he will certainly help. But if it was Love, he would stay around even if you didn't want to play doctor! Love is wanting to hang together if there was a line in front of the girl's house, next door, and you both knew why! Love is caring for you, even when you could care less!

But don't listen to me. Tell him you want to try oral sex. I hear its great and all the kids are doing it! Try a 69 today! And he just might fall in love!

I'm afraid it is a sin. It doesn't matter whether you feel ready or not. You are not in a position to have sex, and the only time you are in a position to have sex is within the confines of a marriage.

Sex REALLY screws up the teenage life. Having sex before the age of 25 is likely to ruin you life. There is about 90% chance that the two of you wil split up with 6 months of having your first sex act. YOU will feel guilty and dirty, like a little tramp, and HE will get this "been there done that" feelling, and be bored with you.

OF course, you will never belvi me until you try it for yourslef, and then it is to late.

Kinda like asking"Does it hurt to die?". You KNOW that the ONLY way to know for sure is to actually DIE. But then, who you gonna tell, "it hurt like a M*****F***ER! DON'T EVER EVEN TRY!!!"

You want to be with him forever? Promise him sex AFTER you are married, and then just DATE until you BOTH have graduated college.

".... my boyfriend...each other." has been said so many times by people who now can't stand each other. Don't get love mixed up with lust. I guess you're aware of the CC's stance on artificial birth control. Would you be using it? "People do it all the time..." is a poor rationale for you also to do it. How long have you been together?

Sex before marriage is cheating. If you hate cheaters don't do it. If you and your boy friend cheat with each other now then what will stop from cheating with another partner later.

If you really don't know how bad a sin adultery is, then you're not as ready for sex as you think you are.

You've been indoctrinated by a religion who's rules and doctrine were written by iron-age priests, almost 2000 years ago, who were trying to start a religion and control all it's worshipers. Use your own common sense, and make your own decisions. Here's a hint: If it harms no one, and causes nobody any damage, it's not a sin even if sin exists.
