The white wolf u ar not getting the point that some of us ar trying to say. When u do find that specal some1 and do have sex and then for some reason not knowing why ur marriage fall apart. However thier is a specail bond between u and that person but u will just end up asking ur self why all the time. U will some how end up with someone else weather u got an a divorce or a widower. Every one has thier own reason when to have sex or not, but I do give u props for saving ur self.

I believe that sex before marriage is not a good thing for a couple of reasons, first of all I think it's immoral, I know this only my opinion so it may not count for some, but also it has proven to be very insecure. Couples that never had sex before they were married are much more likely to stay together. Lastly, I think it also adds meaning to marriage, otherwise it just seems like a big party for no reason.

"It sucks but just about everyone in the U.S. is having sex before marriage. It is all good and romantic, but not having sex before marriage has been a rarity for some time.

For almost every decade that passes, there is aproximately a 10% increase in the population who has sex before marriage.

What makes abstinence before marriage efforts even more difficult, is that people are getting married later than they use to, and more and more people are choosing not to marry at all." - Armenian Medical Network

Yes, abstinence before marriage can create a more emotional bond and what not, but since you all are a dieing breed...well of course the results are in your favor. It isn't necesarrily a reliable survey when you compare a handful of people to millions.

I haven't yet seen any real solid proof that abstinence before marriage is better in comparison to not, so could soemone throw up a pie chart or something? Maybe a link that doesn't involve the bible so much? Just curious really.

"Oh oh, just noticed, approx 95% of Americans have premarital sex. Hmm, another interesting diddle is that apparently those American teens who have vowed to abstain from sex before marriage have the same rates of STDs as sexually active teens.

As many of these 'virgins' had not been attentive during sex education classes (or had not had them) they tend to have sex without protection more often than other kids.

The survey was funded by the NIH (National Institutes of Health).

Researchers also found that these kids were less likely to seek medical help when they did catch a STD - probably because they did not know what they had.
THE RESEARCHERS SAID THAT PLEDGING ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING RESULTS:

-- Kids had sex later
-- Kids had fewer partners
-- Kids got married earlier

PLEDGING DID NOT ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:

-- Fewer incidences of STDs
-- Fewer teen pregnancies " - Medical News Today

How fun it is to learn. Now some of those so called "virgins" are pretty full of **** it seems. Interesting and amusing.

Just because you read some passage on abstinence in the bible, doesn't make it immoral. Sleeping with everybody you hook up with no matter if you love em or not is immoral. If you love each other with all your heart, and are truly compatible is what counts. No piece of paper is going to make you stay together. It just depends on how strong your love is, how you work together as a couple, How you personality's work together, and how you two handle the stresses of life together as a couple.

There will always be those who are against premarital sex and consider it immoral, we can't do much about that. Let them say what they want, it really doesn't matter, because probably the majority are just talk anyways it seems.

"Approx 81% of American adults identify themselves with a specific religion:
"The proportion of the [American] population that can be classified as Christian has declined from 86% in 1990 to 77% in 2001." ARIS Study. 4" - ReligiousTolerance.org by the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance

285million would be the population for Americans who have Premartial Sex
231million would be population for those Americans who are Christian

As you can see, it doesn't matter what most say about immoral or not immoral about this subject, because either way, most are going to have premarital sex anyways. Those who oppose seem to jump the gun even earlier or just give up with that self discipline.

It is all good and romantic yes, but in the real world, most of those "virgins" or self proclaimed abstinence users, are all talk in the end. Growing up is part of the game and people change...stick close to those beliefs as long as you want(or can is the most appropriate), because you are a dieing breed.

Go ahead and say that it is immoral, but first understand that most of your fellow worshippers don't act what they preach and the roll of the dice say you are in the same bucket.

I would have to say yes, many people are doing it and more and more people arn't even getting married because the term married it self, they find it as a restriction on life, so they live as a boy and or girl friend. well thats my thought on the sumject
