I feel like having premarital sex is okay in certain cases. Depending on ones age, relationship status, and all around common sense. Teens having sex is not a good thing but it is very common, preteens having sex before 16 is a bit early but as long as they are smart and safe about sex it can be okay. I do think teens under the age of 16 are to young, but i started at 15 and i am std and child free. I think when your child gets to the point in where they are dating and having alone time with someone of the other sex is the time to discuss it. I don't think talking to your children is promoting it, you have to make sure and stress the seriousness and the things that can happen. I think parents should promote abstinence to a certain age, but when they know their child is to that age of experimenting it is just as good to just express the seriousness and responsibility of having sex. If you are a religious person and live a religious life then it should definitely be involved in making a decision.

I feel is it okay to have premarital sex in certain situation. It will have to depend on the relationship status, the age difference, and the level of maturity of the couple. I don't mind that teens are having sex during a serious relationship but it should be at least the age of 17 before even thinking about having it. I don't think sex is just a thing to do with someone but should be with someone, you truly care about. I feel at the age of 17, you are almost an adult and almost in the next chapter of your life. I believe that the right age talking sex should be junior high since kids these days know about sex around 3rd to 5th grade. I don't think talking to children about sexual health is promoting sex because it is giving the resources and the educational needs that they need to know about it. Parents should not promote abstinence about sex but should let their child know that they are their for them whenever they need and never to be afraid to ask for help.

I premarital sex ok? Pre-Marital sex between two consenting matured adults is perfectly alright. When these two people know what they are doing and are okay with it, then no one else definitely has anything else to say in it.
What is your opinion about teens having sex? My personal opinion of teens having sex is that it is inevitable. Whenever i have kids, and they get older I will teach them about safe sex, how to properly use contraceptives and the risks of having unprotected sex. I will offer to buy condoms and birth control for them. I think that having an open and honest relationship with your teens about sex is the only way to ensure that they make smart and well informed choices. I would hope i could teach them to wait until they are 18, but teens are having sex at earlier ages these days. 13 is a good age to start talking about sex with your kid.

No it’s not okay to have premarital sex. I think that teens should not have sex. I believe that there is such thing in being too young to have sex; teens are an example of that. I think parents should start talking to their child about sex and sex health at the age of 7, I say so young because it gives them the knowledge and I think would stop the child from doing that and with this generation kids are having sex really young. I think talking to children about sex would make them not have sex, with diseases going around and getting pregnant and feeling convicted by God would stop them. Parents should promote abstinence when they talk their children. Their body should be shared with their husband, If you are Christian that should be involved in making a decision whether to have sex or not. (Sharday 8:00)
Ive been trough this topic plenty of times. if you feel as though you a ready then you are ready. don't let morals get in your way or other things, if you are waiting for marriage its your choice, but if you are ready and the time is there go for it who knows what is going to happen tomorrow if you are even going to be alive. I mean be safe about it to don't do anything you are going to regret in the future don't do it for the sake of having sex but if you are in the moment of it, this is hard to explain. For example if you are getting pressured in it or everyone got laid but you and you just want to join the group then don't do it. Now if you are with someone and you are in the moment then go for it. Nothing is wrong with sex its human nature.

so in today society it is common to have premarital sex. i have premarital sex all the time and i lost my virginity when i was in the Th grade. i say that when you reach high school is when teens should be having sex because they will be more aware of the problems they face if something bad was to happen.and yes there is a such thing as being to young to have sex and they should be have sex. parents should talk to their children when they hit puberty. when you have health teacher talking to the the students about sexual heath they are just giving them the truth and what can happen when you do certain things and if you don protect yourself than bad things will happen.

I think that premarital sex is okay in certain situations. Young teens should not be having sex but they do it anyway. I think that people should at least wait until they are 17 or 18 years old to have premarital sex because at that age teens are a little bit more mature. Parents should talk to their children about sex earlier now because kids are having sex a lot earlier today than they were 20 or 30 years ago. I still think that it would be better to wait until a person is married to have sex or at least in their late teens to early twenties if they are not married.

I think that if both people involved are mature enough and completely sure, not pressured by the other person, which that other person should be aware of, and they both take all precautions, talk about all POSSIBLE outcomes and how to handle them, then I think that they have talked enough about EVERYTHING involved then they should be able to make up their own minds-TOGETHER. If even ONE thing is left uncertain then a sexual relationship can end up being a huge mistake. Relationships are hard enough without sex. Think about it, you have gotten in disagreements with your best friend, your family, well, sex is a very close personal relationship that will make it even more important to be totally up front with your partner. All of these things must be taken in to consideration. Teens, though WAY more mature than the past are still going through the age that they are the most emotional and very susceptible to peer pressure and how much attention they can get from being promiscuous. When they get older they will realize that but, at a young age it is very hard to ignore your feelings. Teens will do what they want, I just hope that they are mature enough to handle everything that goes along with a sexual relationship. My grandparents were married at 16 and were married for 67 years. They never looked at anyone else. So it's possible that teens may meet and stay with the love of their lives, and if they don't let's at least hope the relationship is healthy and dealt with maturely.
I believe it's ok to have premarital sex. I think its basic on your gender. If a parent has a daughter the parent sex is a " non-issue" when I say " non- issues" I mean sex shouldn't ever happens. But if you have a boy it's more incouraging. If you see a girls with a different guy everyday she a " Hoe" but if you see a guy with a girl everyday he is a " Stud" for decades teens have been becoming younger and young so it's basically children raising children.Around 13 when they are attending middle school when there are just developing after going through puberty. I don't think they should prohibited, it may make the child want to explore and discover on there on but they should talk about protection and teen pregnancy. Religion should be apply to everyday life I have friends that practice absentants, and I have friends who don't practice it. It seems to have no obvious affect.

Whether you think premarital sex is okay depends on what you believe in and what your religion is and how much you follow your religion. If you know you are going to have sex with one person and one person only for the rest of your entire life and you dont want to wait till the wedding day then do what you want i guess. Bless these poor kids their baby's making adult decisions and its disgusting. Girls and boys are having sex younger, and younger and younger. Yes there is such a thing as being too young to have sex are you kidding me??? If my little sister in jr. high has sex i'm going to straight up punch her in the face. Because your a baby who will probably end up having a baby and you arent old enough to really enjoy what sex is supposed to be about. I think you need to talk to your kids as soon as they get into jr.high i think its too young for anyone in that grade to be having sex, but lets face it..it does happen and if it doesnt they most likley will when they get into highschool and they need to be prepared. My mom never talked about it with me and it's crucial that all parents talk to their kids. No i dont think that talking to children about sex is promoting sex. You're making them aware, and they need to be. I think that you should promote abstinence, but you also need to promote SAFE sex, which is the most important thing of all whether you want your kid to have sex or not. Whether you want to have sex or not is up to you and what you believe is the right thing to do and if that involves your religion then do whats best for you

In my opinion, I think that in this subject a person ha the right to decide when they want to have sex. Though, I believe that if you are in the ages of a child and teenager years you should not even think of sex. My opinion about teens having sex is that there are times that kids and teenagers are having sex when they can’t even take care of themselves. School and a job is what should be in the mind of those kids. Like I said before, I think that there I a point in life that you hould even consider the fact of having ex but I do think there is such a thing as too young to have sex. There are kids who be having sex at the age of twelve. In mi opinion though, I say waiting until marriage would be the appropriate time to have sex but that just isn’t realistic to many humans. They see it as something normal to have before marriage. I think that when the child is old enough to understand about sex and all those things, that is when parents should talk about it to their kids because the more warned they are then maybe they can at lat have confidence and protect themelves instead of getting pregnant at such a young age. I think that talking to them not only will let them know about it but then that is when it is their decision because parents do not have a say. Eventually, their child will find a way. I agree 100% with the idea that every parent when talking to their children about sex should promote abstinence. The reason for that I because they should show their kids to value themselves and to let them know is nothing wrong with it. Now like I aid before, it all depends on the way the child decides but at least talking to them about it lets them think of a possibility of abstinence. I believe that a person should have the right to decide their religion so that said, religion should not be involved in the decision of whether to have sex or not.

I think abstinence should be promoted at a young age and around 12 you need to have that talk with your kids to find out what they are thinking before it is too late. I have had too many friend that were a day away from taking their child to get on birth control and ended up with grandchildren from their 15 year olds. Once you find out what their mind set is at that age, you keep checking in with them so you arent taken by surprise. I have done this with good results so far. My 20 year old is not permiscuous and I told him a long time ago the expectation is that he is not allowed to bring home any random babies. That kind of thing believe it or not, sticks in their minds a little. I have a 12 year old and he is in the 6th grade. While this is very young to have sex, it is not too early to start talking about the expectation and consequences. Don't assume that your kids know. We have the responsibility of teaching them.If they don't learn from you, they will learn from someone else.

Pre-marital sex, in my opinion, should not be something that’s necessary to discuss in the 21st century. In this modern day and age, where contraceptives are promoted early in ones life, pre-marital sex isn’t even something that’s contemplated often.
Sex is just a way to make both partners feel good. Yes, it does serve a purpose via re-production, but contemporary sex is predominantly for pleasure. I do however; think abstinence should be promoted until a child is mature enough to understand the risks of sex. At that point (whatever age that may be), the child/teen should be educated on the correct protection methods when having sex. Concerning educating children on sexual health being a promoter of sex, I think there may be some truth there. An individual, who may possibly have been unaware of sex, may very well become aware of it and as such be more likely to have sex. On the other hand, would you rather a sexually educated child as opposed to a naïve one?

In todays world its normal to have premarital sex, they show it through media, and read about it in magazines, and books. In my personal opinion if your going to have sex before marraige at least be safe about it. I feel like its okay to have premartial sex. I know people who started when they were 15 or 16 and they dont have an std or a kid. As long as your having sex for the right reasons its okay. if you are in love with someone you can have sex with them. But I do agree with people being religious that its your choice, to make up your mind, you have to pick wisely.

Although premarital sex has become socially acceptable, I do not believe that it is morally acceptable. I will not judge those who do have premarital sex, I don't blame them, it's a hard thing to abstain from. However, I plan on waiting until I am married to have sex. God made sex as a way for a married man and woman to express love and to procreate. The idea of sex has been warped through the years and it has become more and more meaningless as the years go on.
I believe that teens having sex is just inappropriate. Teens are not mature enough or responsible enough to understand the meaning, not to mention the risks, of having sex. Teens are way too young to be having multiple sexual partners.
Children should definitely be told about sex and the risks of sex. However, they should be taught abstinence as well. If we as a society continue to promote teenage pregnancy, we will soon live in a world where mothers are too young and are not mature enough to handle themselves, let alone their children. If we teach our future children to abstain, there could be hope for a more morally conscious world.

i was young when i lost my virginity. looking back if i could have changed some things, of course i would have. i wish my parents would have acutally sat down and talked to me about the consequences of pre-maritial sex.. sex in general. I will say that there is no appropriate age. as a mother of two girls and a boy, i am going to start talking to them about sex when they reach middle school. i think then is a good time to start. believe it or not, thats when many kids start to explore. im going to tell them the TRUTH about sex. the good and the bad. im not going to be strict on them, but i will let them no the mistakes i made, and it will be up to them to decide if they want to follow in my foot steps. i can only hope that they dont. i know that i will not be able to completely stop them from doign anything. teens having sex is inevitable. i just think parents and any important adults in a kids life should go about teaching them a certain way. i dnt want my kids to be afraid or to think that having sex early is a bad thing. i just want them to be prepared. and if they feel that they are, at whatever age that may be, i can say that as a mother i did my job in trying to help as much as i could.

My belief is that premarital sex isn't ok, therefore age isn't the issue to me. I think that teens are generally immature, and are taking big risks that they rarely understand by having sex at such early ages. Premarital sex can have many heavy consequences: unplanned pregnancies can ruin any chance of educational and professional success, STDs can be fatal, and emotional damage from leaving your partner can remain with you for the rest of your life.
Talking to your kids about sex isn't promoting it. It is very important to teach them about sexual health because the risk of pregnancy or STDs is much more severe than the risk of caving into premarital sex.
As many religions have rules and expectations about premarital sex, it is only logical that it would be a factor in the decision whether or not to have it.
