[QUOTE="observer77"]No I think people should have sex before marriage becuase if you don't know yourself and your partner sexually you could end up with someone you are sexually incompatiable wit and end in a failed marriage ofcourse I also beleive if one has sex before marriage they should use contraception so as not to end up with accident children that run rampent over the world.Solid_Snake325

Right, that would be under sexual problems. Why would you think that would cause divorce?

Nope - I think people should be incouraged to co-habit and 'test the water' before they are married.

True, true, I'll admit I was wrong on that. I forgot how important sex was in marriages. Guess I'd have to be in one to see it.

I think people should wait until they're married until they have sex. If they did the world's population would probably be a lot less than what it is now and there wouldn't be so many abortions. What's your opinion?Hungry_Jello

As long as they're responsible and have carefully made the decision, sure. Honestly, two consenting adults should be able to experience as many facets of their relationship as possible before marriage. It gets them as familiar with their partner as they can and helps stave off divorce. The only reason why the statistics make it SEEM as though those who engage in pre-marital sex have less stable relationships and a greater rate of divorce is due to those who wait till marriage often being devout Christians, who will often stay in marriage no matter what due to their faith.

well i dont plan to wait that long but respect people who do wanna wait. if every person were to wait till marriage there would be alot less STDs around. I remember hearing that if for like 100 years "everyone" stopped having sex outside of marriage then there would be no more or at least alot less people with AIDs (as in the disease wouldnt continue to spread and everyone with it would die off). if you think about the world would be a better place if we did do this but still it will never happen so what can yah do:?

No. Marriage is an unnecessary label. Though, I do think that is should be held off until you feel great affection for said person(s).

I think it's generally a good idea, but if it's going to interfere with one's relationship exceptions can be made.

No. Sex isn't purely for baby making. Babies being born outside of marriage is due to the fact the couple are irresponsible for not using contraception, not due to the fact they weren't married.

yeah sex drive is a big thing I would think if your wife wants more than you can give I see things getting hard but then again alot of sex drive incomatablibity problems statistically are men going outside of the marriage because the women doesn't want to have sex as often or just doesn't have the energy which can cause problems that's kind of funny I didn't even think of that as part of sexaul incompatability problems but then again I guess there is a lot of things in that phrase that don't jump out at you right away.

Lots of people divorce over sex (or lack of).

That's why you try it first, before getting married. Then it becomes just a breakup.

No, because I don't believe in marriage. I think people should have sex when they feel ready for it.Neon-Tiger

I agree with you on that, I mean like say IF someone believes in love, and they don't find anyone "special" til their like 40 odd, and they've been in "close" relationships before, it would strike you as immensly odd.

No, unless they want too. Aslong as they are responsible and protect themselves then it usually goes okay.

the way i see it, having sex after marriage is like "human wz human"because love and intimacy are involved, having sex out side marriage is like"animal wz another animal" because the only thing that drives you is instincs, but still it is up to the person and his/her belives and traditions, i mean no offence but it is my opinion.

No. 1) It's just sex. Once you finally do it you realise how trivial and normal it is, and how ridiculous it is that our culture builds it up so much into something it's not. 2) Sex is a big part of a relationship. You can really like somebody's personality but if you're not compatible in THAT way very few people will manage to make the relationship work. If you find out that your partner is completely different from yourself in that regard, and you've just gotten married, that's not a great situation to be in.Ninja-Hippo
WRONG! Sex is too big a part of relationships, the fact people have made is so big a part of a relationship is why so many fail. Relationships should be based on Friendships, Communication and Trust but NEVER sex. I can't believe this society has gotten to the point where a woman could say he was great guy, nice, smart, funny, loyal and they got along great and were beautiful together....But he could do me right so I dumped him. Lord, and people wonder why the divorce rate is so high. BTW, your second comment contradicts your first. You also act like moral conservatives have never had sex, well they have and the feeling never changed for them.

Actually it seems to be coming back. Just ask some tween rolemodels like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. BTW, it depends on the person for me. If you do good for you, sex is not half as important as people make it out to be. If you don't, just use common sense and at least love the person you are with. Me, I would not wait. But thats me.

I think people should wait until they're in love to have sex. Nothing's wrong with sex before marriage. But I can understand if you want to wait. It's pretty noble and romantic.dreDREb13
And shows they got a good head on their shoulders and are looking for the right things in a relationship. Seriously, sex you can get anywhere so why base a relationship off of it?

i totaly agree that's why marrigae is important, because it is not only based on love and communication and trust but also it intesifys them and sex with your wife is another factor to streghen the bond between you two, can any one of the people who suppoer sex outside marriage tell me What is the basis of that action? i have an answer instinct, if you have another answer tell me

Define 'relationship.' 3 a: a state of affairs existing between those having relations or dealings Looks like sex itself is a relationship....
