[LordScouticus]

I'm in support of sex before marriage. From my experience, kids who decide to wait end up getting married early because they want to have sex. The need for sex also often results in poor partner choice on the part of those individuals, which means unhappy marriages. When a relationship ends, you have heartbreak whether you had sex or not. While I do condone committed relationships, there is no reason why signing a piece of paper makes you more ready to have sex. It's an individual choice.

my ex mess up leaving a great guy like me. we started dating for 2 month she started talking about sex. i told her it too soon i wanna wait longer or better too wait till marry and she tell me how can we be together with out sex. so she broke up with me. since she broke up with me i knew right then she promble just wanna me for sex. cause sex is really not the meaning of love. i want someone who loves me for who i am. and how great there personally is. it hard to find the right girl :(

Why does a ring and a piece of paper matter it's about weather t o people love eachother. English is not my main laugage.

@eric0100 You are right it is very hard to find the right woman.

@sweetsweatyfeet Exactly--but everyone makes mistakes, and if you can prevent yourself from feeling regret or heartache, it's smart if you do..i don't see what good it'll bring to anyone messing with it. religious or not, sex especially early or before being in a committed relationship is messy. I have no obsession with virginity but I do think people should wait for that one person that they know theyre gunna stay with at least. How would doing it early be good? O.o smh

[sweetsweatyfeet]

@abercrombiegal09 Like it or not, the obsession with virginity into marriage IS rooted in religious doctrine even if it's been somewhat modified today. The fallout from all this are puritanical prudish attitudes which afflict many of the religious.

You are welcome to wait as long as you like but I take issue with proscribing it for others and pronouncing it immoral if they don't. My only regret was that I didn't get laid in my youth---it would have done me a world of good.

[abercrombiegal09]

@sweetsweatyfeet No, but most people with a working conscience can see it's disgusting. Waiting for that person makes everything else a lot more meaningful-- I hated and made fun of God as much as a teenager could but that was still something I strongly believed in. There was no religion in my life, and society is gearing more and more towards having sex earlier, yet I was still strongly against it. And obviously in modern times it's not focused on female virginity,but everyone, for many reasons

[sweetsweatyfeet]

@abercrombiegal09 Wait for what? Marriage? Do you consider people who don't wait to be immoral? It's religion that has assigned all this absurd moral baggage to human sexuality; especially in it's condemnation of things that don't conform to it's blinkered view of sexual behavior, like... Christianity's oppression of homosexuals and it's obsession with female virginity. Virginity is not a requirement for males in the bible.

@sweetsweatyfeet smh.. It's partially true but everything we do isn't just based on nature. it's part biological and part morals.. so completely relying on the having "normal healthy biological urges" excuse and saying it's a NEED doesn't work.. everyone gets urges that doesn't mean you should always find a way to fullfill them. Honestly, as people mature they see that it's the best thing to do to wait anyways, i don't see where the "fear" is in that.

@eric0100 don't worry, in time you will be really glad you avoided that bullet, there is always someone out there for everyone, you got the values though man.
