I use to say that I wouldn't have sex until the day I married. But now I don't know if I will indeed get married one day.

Clpo, could you describe to me what love is to you?

I thought you were supposed to be "pure," so to speak, for the person you love, not the person you marry. One person could marry two or three (possibly more) times. How is this any different than people having sex before they get married? Sex is about love, not marriage.

i think that sex before marriage is wroung. i say that because u r suposed to be pure for the man that u marry.but people these days dont belive that so they just do it.its a shame that u cant date ne one with out getting the good so to speak

Well personally i think that sex is completely okay if both people want to. Sex can be associated with love, but it doesnt have to be. People should just do what they want with sex as long as they know what they're doing and are using protection

Well yes, that's true. It's all really based on personal experience, opinion, morality, and beliefs.

The issue is too subjective for there to be an answer.

I actually don't know what to think. I can see both sides very clearly at the moment.

Personally, I think sex goes with love. I think clpo13 has it right. Love and marriage do not necessarily go hand in hand.
Additionally, even though love would be a big deal for me when considering sex, I realize this isn't the case for everyone. And, it may change for me in the future. Things change, relationships, marriages, views, all change.

For me sex is a big deal. I want to wait till I know that the person I am giving it to is the one that I am going to spend the rest of my life with. However that is me and everyone is different.

Sex for some is a big deal. For others, it's not. It all depends.

Not the usual kind of perverts. Math-freak perverts.

Hm, and I thought that was in every class. Or maybe my school was just weird.

I think the root of the matter is that the class is full of perverts to begin with. If myself and a couple other people weren't loudly discussing depraved, deviant sex to begin with, she wouldn't be so tempted to jump in and top us.

Yes, but the stuff she throws at us is funny as hell.

Well see, that only makes me curious. :P

So just don't be an idiot. And if you decide to have kids, wait until you're self sufficient and have enough resources to support another human.

And if sex is for love, we can also observe a simple fact about love: it dies out.

I am totally against it. Premaritals (whatever they are) should never have sex! We need to eliminate their race from the Earth!

...wait, I think I've got the wrong idea.

In all seriousness, sex before marriage is no more special than sex after marriage. Save it for the one you'll be with forever? Yeah...ever heard of divorce?

Marriage is not a guarantee that you will be together forever. You could get divorced and remarry. Your spouse could die and you remarry. Any number of things could happen that would invalidate your spouse from being "the one."

Not only that, but it is possible for an unmarried couple to be in love and feel as if they want to be together forever. I will agree that sex and love go together. But I won't agree that sex and marriage go together.

I love this wording: "for or against".

I'm not sure where I stand on this topic. Yes I have had sex and it was great. I don't regret doing it yet at the same time I feel like I should be against it because I do believe in the bible.

Yes, but the stuff she throws at us is funny as hell.
