Sex in calculus? Did you discuss being derivatives so you could lie tangent to curves?

Hahaha.

Oddly enough, my calculus class talked (read: screamed) this over for an hour, and I'm still recovering, primarily because the teacher, who has a liking for graphic mental imagery, stepped in.

Saving sex for marriage just because it will be more "special" is not a valid reason when applied to the entire population.

I've no energy to argue this. Oddly enough, my calculus class talked (read: screamed) this over for an hour, and I'm still recovering, primarily because the teacher, who has a liking for graphic mental imagery, stepped in.

It just really bothers me that some people forget this is an opinion and not a fact. Not that I'm accusing you of that, chipsandfish.

I think that, if for no other reason, there are so many STD's going around that sex can't just be treated as some casual thing. Not to mention the emotional effects it has. Bottom line, make sure you and you're partner are ready, and have talked about it before hand.

Against.As conflictingzest said, it would be best to experience it with the person you truly love. Marriage is when you and your husband/wife experience new things together making it (new things such as sex) even more special and meaningful.

Some of those involved in premarital sex are teenagers and most are done out of curiosity. So sexually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancy aren't considered because they and do it for pleasure. Also, sex should be done with someone you truly love.

Three cheers for free will!!

I think it's a personal decision. If you want to have sex before marriage, go for it. If you don't, then wait. It's all up to you whether or not to have premarital sex.

Ha!

Thanks for that, Aguagon. Thought I'd be hypocritical while I was at it.

Against. Emotional attachment aided by physical attachment doesn't equal a good relationship. Plus think of how much better it will be with your wife, knowing that you made it something special to be shared with only the one. Plus i got 3 letters for you premarital sexers S T D s Things can happen. Condoms break, etc... why take the chance? Plus Pregnancy, it's not ALWAYS planned.

Basically, what Khary said. Marriage seems like an arbitrary landmark to set to me, but if it's what you've got your heart set on, be my guest. I'm not gonna get on your case for not having sex.

I'm a firm believer in abstinence until you're ready. Ultimately, sex is what you make of it. If you don't wanna have it with anyone but a longtime partner that you feel great about, that's fine. If you just wanna fool around with someone else who happens to have similar feelings, that's fine too, as long as you both know what your feelings really are. If you know yourself, are willing to handle things sensibly, and you feel ready, that's the right time.

And to state the obvious, "because" is never a reason.

Indifferent. I don't have any ethical or moral objections to premarital sex so long as all parties involved are on the same page. Protection, outside of serious monogamous relationships, would be a good idea though.

Both. Neither.

It all depends on the relationship and the circumstances. I don't see my self as having sex before marriage, but I never know, and I'm not going to condemn those who do.
