Should people wait until marriage before they have sex? Why or why not? Do you think it's okay to try sex first if you think you're serious about someone? What if you're not serious? Is it okay to be in a relationship just for sex? What if you decide you're never going to get married to anyone? Is it fine to have sex then? Does marriage even matter anymore? Why or why not? If you're not married but want to have sex, does it matter how old you are? If you're not married, is it okay to plan to have children?

I personally think it is the persons decision on if they want to have sex before marriage. If they want to then they should use the right protection and make sure they are ready for what having sex actually means. I think if a couple is serious about one another and they trust each other then if they want to they can have sex. If the person is not serious about someone then they should reconsider sex. I don't think it is right just to be in a relationship with someone just for sex then they are just being used. If a person never gets married I think they are eventually going to have sex. Yes I do think that marriage still matters if someone has had sex with a lot of people it may be harder for them to find someone who is okay with that. Yes people who are not married can still have to plan children maybe they just want to be alone for their life and that is just fine.

I do believe that people should wait till they are married to have sex. But I am a Christain and that is was I was raised and have been told. I wear a purity ring because I have made that a promise to my parents and to God. This doesn't mean that I think that everyone can't have sex before they get married, it is up to the person's descion what to do. But it is also my opinion that if you love someone and they say they love you than you both should be willing to wait. And if you are not serious about eachother than in my opinion it is insane to sleep with someone that you have no feelings for. And if you decide that you do not wish to ever get married than in my opinion you shouldn't have sex either. In my opinion marraige is a very important thing, it signifies that you belong with eachother, forever.If your not married and want to have sex I think that year age definately does matter. I think that you should wait until you are an adult and mature enough to make that decision. And if you are not married and start making plans to have children that is fine. But it is not okay to just have sex to get pregnant. I think that you can plan to have kids but that you should wait until you get married because it would be more likely that the guy would stay with you. If you really want kids, but you don't want to get married, then I believe that you should adopt children.

No one waits until marriage anymore. Yeah, sure, it sounds good to wait for that one person that you're going to be with for the rest of your life. But, that is most likely not going to happen. I don't really know why people don't wait, but I also didn't know how people could. It something that makes sense, it's just hard to explain. If you are serious about someone I don't see why you can't try sex out. When you love someone that is a way to show it. Most people don't even see sex as love anymore. It's so sad. If your not serious I don't think you should have sex with that person. You don't know where they've been and they don't know where you've been either. Being in a relationship just for sex is ho-ish. For both men and women. Learn some self respect. If your not going to get married then just have sex in the relationships you feel enough trust in. Most people don't really think like that though. Yes, marriage matters. I've been with my boyfriend for over a year and we have talked about getting married when we are done with school and I can't wait till that day. That's when you become really "taken." I think it would be and is a great experience for anyone. You have to grow up and learn to care for other people, start a family and make new memories. Kids these days are so pathetic. Having sex at the age of 12? Thats insane. No child of mine will ever be doing that. Personally I wanted to wait till i was 18. I guess I didn't think I would be ready until I was considered an adult. But age does matter, 12 13 and 14 and are pretty young if you ask me. After that when you feel your ready is when you should do it. Don't be a ho though. I never want to have children until im married. I pray that my plan falls in place. It's so crazy and scarey how so many young people are having babies. How can they take care of a baby when they can't even take care of themselves?

With the way the world is today, not to many people wait to get married to have sex. It is really up to the person and their believes and values. Just because you are not married, but you are in a relationship with someone and you feel you want to have sex then it is okay. Everybody needs to make their own decision when is the right time to start having sex.If they are planning to have children, they should make sure that it is with someone that is going to be their for them.

i personally think that it is your choice to have sex before marriage. it use to be something huge if you didn't wait, but nowadays, i don't think anybody really cares. i'm still waiting for someone i'm really close with, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's gonna be after marriage...some people are really happy together and have children but they aren't married, i guess it kind of depends on the relationship. i guess i go both ways, just because i'm still a virgin. i mean, if i've gone this far without having sex, i shouldn't waste it on just anybody.

No one waits until marriage for sex anymore these days. But i think you should wait and make sure that the guy/girl you do have sex with is the right one and is committed to this person. I don't think that it's okay to be in a relationship just for sex. It's not healthy. If you never decide to get married, but you have a steady relationship with the person and want to be with that person then yeah, i think it would be okay. It's okay to have children and not be married. there are plenty of single mom's and dad's out in the world. I think it is the persons own decision about this. If they're ready, they're ready.
If you don't want to wait till marriage to have sex then that's fine. But I don't think you should wait till your fifteenth birthday either. Sex is a part of life in America you see a form of it everyday. I don't think that the bible should hold someone back from having sex. If you think you are ready for sex, then you should find the right person that really cares about you and wants to be in a relationship with you.

Your sexual life is totally up to you. If you are in love or not or just want a friend to have sex with, no one can stop you. I think everyone knows the consequences of having sex unprotected or even sometimes protected, so if you are willing to accept that you may get and STD or even pregnant then go ahead. Think before you do. There is a lot of pressure when you are in a relationship to have sex with that person but in the ends it is up to you. For me I'd have to be with someone for a long time and know I can 100% trust them before I will even think about having sex. I think waiting until you are married would be the smartest thing because if you love that person you shouldn't want anyone else to know you the way that person will once you do have sex.

I don't think it is a good idea to wait till after you are married to have sex. What if you are totally incompatible physically? I know this sounds a little odd coming from someone my age but, I think you have to make an informed decision about this. You are going to be with that person for a long time and you better make sure of all of the aspects of marriage before you seal the deal.
I think marriage is very important eventhough the devorce rate is so high. It shows that you are committed to that person no matter what.
It does matter how old you are too. Kids shouldn't have sex until they are ready to handle the responsiblities that come along with it.
I think that it is a personal choice to have kids if you are not married. You and your kids will have to deal with the reality of that one.

I feel that decision is up to the person or ppl thats having sex. I dont see anything wrong with it and some peple dont ever want to get married so
Ashley Mitchell
think that it is wrong to have sex before marriage. Yeah it is the persons choice if they want to have it. I just think that you should be in a committed relationship before you have it. I think that people are having it to much before they are ready and with someone that they don't truly love
Jessica Brooks
I disagree with Matt about people being oversexed. I think what Heather says makes sense. Sex has been shown to relieve stress and help us handle daily situations better. In a study I read about couples who have sex every morning for a month were more productive and less stressed than couples who had sex only once or twice a week. So do yourself a favor and have sex every day (and night!--with people you love only of course)
Natalie Coors
Sex Sex Sex, everything is sex. T.v., magazines, romance novels, ect. ect. Sex is out of control and in some ways really pisses me off. Sometimes I can't watch tv with my kids cause the content is inappropriate for them. Sex sells and people are out to make money and that's bullshit, I can't smoke in public places anymore because it's hazardous, well sex is hazardous to my 3 and 8 year old.
Autumn
No, I do not think people should wait till marriage to have sex. If they love eachother enough to have sex then go right ahead. It is all up to the people that are together and if they are both ready. People way back when would have sex at young ages so I do not see any differences from now and then.
