Agreed. Sex should be between one man, and one woman, in wedlock.

I'm waiting.

The happiest couples I know are the ones that wait for marriage. I'm not just saying that either. It's true.

I agree, because you would lose all respect for yourself and the one you did it with

Whether you're religious or not, studies are pretty definitive that the couples who report to have the best sex and to climax most often are middle-aged married couples. If you're not religious, sex before marriage is not bad. But sex within marriage is freaking awesome, so why not wait to have it even better?

Let's keep it real simple. There is absolute evidence that the cause of today's marriage breakups is the sexual revolution. That is, when one looks at the data about frequency of premarital, intermarital, intramarital, and extramarital sexual relations starting in the '60's it directly correlates with the increasing divorce rates. There are many reasons for this, but it is fact. Perhaps the best reason, for sex only in marriage, is that if you don't, you will never know what the best sex is like.

 Absolute evidence? Don't married couples divorce because they get married and cannot satisfy one another? What if you marry someone and neither of you are sexually compatible? Maybe you should have tried the shoe on before walking out the store with it...

Like all things that are meant to be enduring marriage needs a solid foundation. If a couple were to become friends first get married second then have sex there would be more successful marriages. Mark my word.

Sex before marriage is so common these days that people have forgotten the whole meaning of the act of sex. It isn't just to do randomly and it isn't for when you "think" your in love. It is something that you value and treasure for your husband/wife. It is something that you are supposed to wait for a lifetime commitment before you engage in it. Even people that are engaged shouldn't have sex, an engagement can be broken. Then the value of the act has gone down for the person that you will marry.

I agree because unless you are married you should stick with abstinence (excuse spelling) because the girl gets pregnant looks to the guy for help and support he backs out which makes a single woman raise a kid by herself. Pills aren't "foolproof" condoms can break so the only surefire way to keep any of that from happening is to not have sex

Edit: WRONG SIDE

But sex before marriage is neither good nor bad; it depends on the circumstances.

This is one of technical things.

I think that no one should engage in sexual activity without marriage. That is the theory, and in theory I absolutely agree.

In practice? Unfortunately, many people do engage in sexual activity that they have no business engaging in.
It is disrespectful to one's own body to have sex without monogamy and commitment.
Unfortunately, in practice, it happens.
Reality versus Ideality.

 "engage in sexual activity that they have no business engaging in.

how is it disrespectful? My body says do it so i think im respecting my body. All marriage is is a legal agreement to support eachother. Lets say i have a girlfriend and weve decided were not goign to get married but were going to spend the rest of our lives together. Am i being disrespectful by having sex with someone i'm going to spend the rest of my life with even if we decided to not marry?
"Reality versus Ideality"
Yes but sadly not everybody has the same ideals as you.

I'm against it unless you are in LOVE!! Sex with the person you Love, and are going to marry is probably one of the best physical, and mental stimulating things in the world, as long as you want to please him, and he wants to please you, learning about how too, is even better!

Have we just learned the reason Joe9 is so anal about things sometimes?

And yes I know that your use of "he" is technically correct.

There is nothing wrong with sex before marriage. In fact, I would be in favor of sex before marriage instead of sex after marriage. It is almost a fairy tale when you hear about couples waiting before they are married, and then when they do get married they have the best sex of their life. Most couples don't work out this way. I am not dependent upon sex, but I think that a physical attraction in the bedroom is a good portion of a healthy relationship. If my girlfriend and I weren't sexually compatible, we'd still be happy, but we'd long for that compatibility, which would cause an uneasyness between us. I'm just glad that she is the woman I am going to marry and we are completely compatible in every way. Sure, we could have waited and we would have been fine, but what if we weren't?

Sex is a very important part of marriage...you need to make sure you can actually do it an be happy. A women actually ended up being allergic to her husband's sperm and they divorced. Condoms are just....not fun...

 that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. even if sperm allergies are real, that is no reason to have have sex before marriage.

I’m in favor of the concept, but the word “marriage” should be replaced with the term “responsibility” in my opinion. I believe responsibility is far more important when concerning such an issue than just a simple legal ceremony joining two spouses. Keep in mind that you can get married and still be one of the most irresponsible people in the world. Marriage doesn't automatically make a person responsible in any way.

 I can see how that ties in with my post here,
with the first two in place responsibility is as certain as it would be in your model.

Sex before LOVE isn't a good thing.

Some people think that if they have sex they must be so mature and in true love (young women especially). It only takes 1 of 2 to make the relationship wait until marriage (sex is consensual). If the person really does care for the other they should put up with the "no sex until marriage idea". You have the rest of your life to do it. Don't act like this 1-2 years has to be dedicated to the horizontal mambo. Everyone see’s sex differently, but if your partner want to wait you will wait if you really care about them. Plus, that night is going to be AWESUME!!

What on earth is wrong with sex before marriage. Nothing, if you are in a loving relationship your not gonna lose any respect for a a person if you have sex with them, that's just stupid. People who are not virgins when married are no different than people who are virgins when married.

It does depend on the maturity of both of the people in the relationship.If the guy does backdown if the girl gets pregnant then maybe you should not have gone with that kind of guy,if he does have a bad reputation,or apparently he is not a real man.If you want to have a good relationship with someone,and if you might get pregnant,and want the guy to take care of his baby,then maybe,just maybe you ,make sure that you choose someone that is a REAL MAN! Here is an even better idea,go on the pill,and use a condom,then maybe it will prevent pregnancy,and also make sure that you have a job,before you start to go have sex,so you will be able to take care of your baby. Smart idea,right.

If it isn't a good thing then a lot of people are "bad" people. Stop being childish and have sex. Its fun, i promise. :)

IT COMES DOWN TO THE MATURITY OF THE PEOPLE HAVING SEX. Sex and pregnancy have potentially serious consequences. If the people involved know what they're doing and are prepared for the consequences then it doesn't matter if they're married or not. Frankly half the married couples I know also lack the maturity to be doing it either.

I'll also add that ideally you'd be having sex with the person you married for the rest of your life so it's actually good for mate selection if you already know what sort of sex you're going to be getting. Frankly a bad sex life is the 2nd leading reason marriages fail (the 1st being money matters).
