Do you believe in sex before marriage?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes.

Lifes too short to waste time waiting for that 'special person' when there's no guarantee of actually meeting that person.

Answer the poll, it's my first one.

Yes, so long as one isn't careless or unsafe. It should still mean something even if you aren't married.

i believe it's up to the person, and my views should not be allowed to affect whether a person engages in premarital sex or not.

Personally, I see marriage as asking for God's permission to have sex. You only need permission from yourself and your partner

Yes.

I'm quite sure it exists.

Sex is good clean fun! That is, if you're safe about it.

I don't think that marriage means anything besides what you want it to. There are two components to it--cultural and legal. You can pick either, neither, or both. Personally, I don't want anything to do with marriage.

My sentiment.

Perhaps the best way to word it is "Do you think sex before marriage is acceptable?"

In that case, yes, I feel that is ok to have sex before marriage. And I will only date people who have that same viewpoint.

Absolutely! Physical compatibility is very important for the long haul of a marriage. No matter how much you may be in love with someone, there will be times when you will need to just be able to get through it and physical compatibility can be a key way to do that. It's not all fairytales and roses.

I 100% agree with you. I think physical compatibility is very important to a marriage relationship and I think people ought to know if they are compatible sexually before they get married. That would be a sad reason to end up going through the whole messy divorce thing, finding out you're not compatible with your spouse that way.

That said, I'm not against people waiting. I just wouldn't, personally. Marriage has enough surprises! lol

This was basically the point the I wanted to make. Personally, I'd never marry someone without having sex with them first.

I've known religious people who got married young simply because they wanted to have sex. Then when they'd get divorced because they'd been to young to really know what they wanted from a marriage, suddenly it was okay to have premarital sex...since they'd already had married sex.

I do. I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as you're careful.

I always wondered what the fuss was. It depends upon the two people involved, really. I know a couple who is going to be married next week. Apparently they have been living together for 7 years. After they're married, they're going on a honeymoon. What's the point? Just my opinion.

Yes, at least in theory.

The fact that my last girlfriend didn't think sex before marriage was acceptable was one of the factors in us breaking up. The main reason it didn't work out was because we were polar opposites in other aspects of life.

agreed

I'm in the minority, sex outside of marriage is trouble.

I think the life long connection should be established first, and then have the fun physical time together. Emotionally, without that commitment... being that close to someone is scary. Sex to me is the helps to build that connection, it's something special that we will not be sharing with anyone else... it's all for us and brings us together.

Having sex with just one partner, makes the other partner more special in your life and it'll make the sex more special.

Plus the potential to have kids, and other problems that can arise from being too easy about having sex. It's easy to say as long as it's safe... but putting it into practice is a bit trickier...
