Question:
I'm Catholic (as you can tell from my other NOISEboards), and I'm proud of it! Not in a holier-than-thou kinda way, but a yes-I-have-beliefs-and-I'm-not-afraid-to-stand-up-for-them kinda way. One of the hardest things about my faith is when the general public clashes with my whole moral system, especially with premarital sex. I think it's wrong- what do you think?

Choices:
Yes, I think it's wrong because of my religion.
Yes, I think it's stupid to get so intimately involoved with someone with whom your future is unsure, but that's me personally.
No, I don't think it's wrong if you love the person.
No, I don't think it's wrong, period. It's just sex!
I'm not sure/ I don't care

Maybe she should judge because she does not have to be in the situation to form a correct opinion. I am not saying people should point out everyone's weaknesses, but i just hate it when people say that you have to be in the situation to understand. I hate that because it is completely false and illogical.

I don't think not waiting till marriage to have sex doesn't mean you lack any morals. Who are you to tell someone that the person they have sex with doesn't care or love them because their not married. Maybe you shouldn't judge unless you know every situation. Or maybe you shouldn't judge because you never been in the situation, whatever works for you.

I would think that people would wanna save themselves for "the one." i mean... if you were a virgin or if your are... wouldnt you think it would be more meaningful to have sex with your soul mate than a guy/girl who dosent care about you or love you. Dont you people have morals? I guess its your decision... i just think that people would have some common sense...

Funny how the virgins saying wait till marriage think they know so much about it.

ok, i dont even need to start on this subject cuz redrepublican and marine16 and jazzeykitten said it all!!!!!!!!!!! seriously--- sex is for marriage and marriage alone!!!

That's so sweet, that the majority that responded is saving themselves for marriage. I guess "everyone" isn't "doing it."

In the the words of Marvin Gay,

"When I get that feelin, I wanta sexual healin, sexual..."

I agree with you lemonpepper. Sex is a very important isssue and especially with first timers, It should be with someone that you wouldn't mind at all to be with for the rest of your life.

Sex is something really special.. woo that sounded corny but you know what I mean. I think that sex should be taken seriously and if you want to have sex it should be with a person that you love enough to marry.

"no it really DOESNT take the "excitement" out of it"

Okay, so you're married and already found out if that's true? I'm sure there are lots of people that don't care if they've "done the deed", as I like to say, before they get married, and that's fine. I'm not one to judge.

Realistically, many people never make it to marriage while being a virgin, but if they did it'd save people a lot of troubles and heart ache.

Besides, you're an 18 year old male... You would think that. Just kidding!

i think that as long as your not sleeping around with e1 and protect yourself you're ok.

Great! I'm glad that we agree on something.

Redrepublican is right, the Bible is far from outdated. I must re-emphasize his question - have any of you actually read the Bible, or did you just see the Passion of the Christ and fill in the rest yourself? If the bible is outdate then why can every story of modern literature be found to have roots to stories in the Bible?

YEAH! Thank yall for saying that. Geez, they won't listen to me. Look at the Methodist board under Ending the isms for the proof.

WOW A MILESTONE


i think we can agree on somthing kitten!

i agree with most of what you said.

Everything has a price. Premarital sex is risky. You have to worry about STDs, getting pregnant or getting your girl pregnant. Then you have to worry about money, and 18 longs years of worrying about your child... longer actually. If you've been bangin' around before you get married, it really does take out the "excitement" of it.

I think that more often than not, premarital sex comes about because you're not using your brain. If someone means that much to you, you'd be able to wait. Everyone makes mistakes and sex is something that you can't take back. Making sure it's happening when it's "supposed to" would be important so that you don't regret it later.

Sex before marriage is wrong for several reasons. Having sex before marriage ruins the sanctity of marriage and thus means one is living a lie if they have sex and get married.

the Bible is far from outdated. have you even taken the time to look at the index?
the last book, Revelations, tells of things that are to happen in the future sunch as the tribulation adn the rapture.
the virtues in the Bible still holds true today.
it is a matter of personal choice whether its wrong or not is a totally different story.

And just when I thought I'd found a board where we could agree on stuff.
Amaris and bauhaus, please, tone it down! Things like that are what NOISEmail is for, accually it isn't really but it'd be better than on the boards.
And finally, my opinion: personally I will not have premarital sex because of the risks involved and I don't believe it's right to be that involved with someone you aren't married to or going to marry ( in other words someone you're engaged to not your highschool crush who tells you you're the most beautiful woman he's ever seen ) But I think that it is a personal choice whether or not you have premarital sex.

IMO, premarital sex is fine, but people should also use things like condoms and other birth controal if they don't want to have kids. If they do end up accedentally getting pregnant and don't want to take care of a kid, they should, IMO, put it up for adoption instead of getting an abortion because I feel that abortions are a cruel and inhumane thing to do to a devaloping baby.

If people want to have sex before marrage, that should be compleately up to them and what they want. No one should force people to have sex, just as I feel that no one should force people not to have sex if they are ready to.
