Do you think people should wait until they're married to have sex?

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"][QUOTE="dreDREb13"]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

[QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] 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? CptJSparrow

2. connection between persons by blood or marriage.

3. an emotional or other connection between people

Don't use dictionary definitions to win agruments. Seriously.

Yes. I have quite a few reasons actually. Statistically, those who wait until marriage will not only be more satisfied with their love life but have a greater chance to not get a divorce. I have no link to back me up but this should be obviously true... Those who wait show signs of strong commitment which in response gives great likelihood of remaining in a relationship due to the stronger ability to remain faithful, show commitment, etc. By obtaining from sexual relations until marriage, not only is there (aside from rape) no chance of becoming pregnant or having an abortion. Not to mention the significantly less likelihood of obtaining an STD. By waiting until marriage, the bedroom becomes a much more special place within the marriage as they can not only give their heart but their body. I personally would rather not think of being a second, third, forth person to have "taken part." Also, it's against the teachings of the Bible which is extremely clear.mindstorm

Depends on the person and how they look at sex.

If you have sex 1 time when you 18 and a couple years later you get married it might not effect you marriage. If you have sex numerous times their is a higher chance you might get bored with your spouse. But in the end, it does depend on the couple and their realtionship.

Do you test drive a car before you buy it? ;)

no no no no no, generally in western countries the population is already dropping (with the exception being the us due to immigration), and why not have sex, its fun, feels good man, and its fun. I dont know what more to say. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Dropping? My good man I think you've got it backwards. The population seems to rising in the West. If the stupid teen pregnacies don't stop we could become the next China.

No. Sex isn't purely for baby making.super_mario_128

Western countries have either even or negative birth rates. Third world countries are pretty much the only places with positive birth rates. The only reason China limits children is because there are 1.5 billion people and only so many resources for them all.foxhound_fox

I assume you mean birth rate aling with death rate? Because the US birth rate is higher than its death rate for a positive number. So does Australia, New Zealand, UK.....

3rd world nations matter not, I was adressing just the west where some do indeed have positive birth rates. You made it sound like none did.MoonMarvel

In this study we also addressed the relationship of religiosity to sexual satisfaction. Davidson, Darling and Norton (1995) indicated that "our societal attitudes about sexuality continue to be dominated by the religious perspective that sexual desires are to be restrained" (p. 235) and sexual pleasures to be avoided. Thus, it seems that one's degree of religious commitment and one's perception of how religion (or God) views sexuality may also impact sexual satisfaction. Research that has addressed the issue of religiosity and sexual satisfaction has, however, been quite limited. Davidson et al. (1995) studied the relationship of religiosity and sexual satisfaction in a sample of nurses. They found significant differences between the degree of religiosity (as measured by frequency of church attendance) and the age at initiation of sexual intercourse and attitudes toward masturbation They also found differences in "physiological" sexual satisfaction, by church attendance, with those women who indicated that they had not attended church services in the last year, expressing the highest level of satisfaction. There was no significant difference, however, in "psychological" sexual satisfaction between frequency of church attendance.Article

I don't know which statistics show that, but in my life I have seen the exact opposite happening.And how come what you say is obviously true?

Those who wait show signs of strong commitment which in response gives great likelihood of remaining in a relationship due to the stronger ability to remain faithful, show commitment, etc.

Those are all theories, and very stereotypical. Marriage does not magically render someone faithful.

By obtaining from sexual relations until marriage, not only is there (aside from rape) no chance of becoming pregnant or having an abortion. Not to mention the significantly less likelihood of obtaining an STD.

Another faulty logic which is not based on facts. And even if it is, the fact that some people can't handle sex properly doesn't mean that marriage will save them. Marriage compensates for the lack of sexual eduxation, children receive nowadays, because by common belief, sex is a no-no....>_>

By waiting until marriage, the bedroom becomes a much more special place within the marriage as they can not only give their heart but their body. I personally would rather not think of being a second, third, forth person to have "taken part." Also, it's against the teachings of the Bible which is extremely clear.

Again here is like saying that marriage is some magical ceremony that makes everything special. You know it's not the ceremony itself that makes all those things special but how people's minds react to it. It's up to the people to make something special and not a typical ceremony.

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

Yes, all it does is create strugle when the woman is pregnet and abortion would be very low. Its not right to have sex before beeing married because thats what some the things of beeing married is.
