<p>Ultimate sin or "something inevitable?" There is a thread on the parent's forum loosely about this and I wanted to know what some of the HSLer's think.</p>
<p>Is it okay if it is a conscious choice and there is protection? </p>
<p>And how the heck do you deal with this subject with your parents?</p>
<p>I believe it’s ok, but I have no idea how to deal with it with parent.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that premaritial sex is up to the discretion of each individual. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it persay, but I also don’t think that you should just have sex with any random guy that falls into your lap. I think it should definitely be with someone who you really love and care about. Otherwise, you’re setting yourself to be screwed over mentally and literally. </p>
<p>And how do I deal with this subject with my parents? Hah… I don’t talk to them about it, because their views differ from mine. They’re all about “wait till you get married,” whereas I think it’s more of a “wait until the time is right and if you’re not married when that happens, then oh well.”</p>
<p>I will never have premarital sex. Never do I want to be with someone that would not respect their body and soul well enough to give themselves to another, outside of a legal commitment. </p>
<p>I simply have no respect for those who want to break rules. Those who love to do right all the time are the ones I am attracted to, bar none. </p>
<p>Living like Jesus Christ wants me to live is the sexy thing to do for me. Seeing the opposite sex honoring God with the body He gave them is my turn on :)!</p>
<p>I don’t like hookups - I want to have sex with people I’m in a committed relationship with. But that doesn’t mean I can only have sex with one person, or that I have to wait for some arbitrary legal definition of marriage.</p>
<p>^^Sarcasm…or stuck in the 1950s?</p>
<p>I think its a very personal decision and that people shouldn’t be judged by what they ultimately decide. But I believe that everyone who intends in premarital sex and don’t want the consequence of a baby, should definitely use protection. Personally, I’m planning on waiting till marriage, but I definitely feel that if you feel its right for you and you use protection then it’s fine. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What rules?? What is considered " to do right all the time"?? This statement is coming off very judgmental and intolerant. You have your beliefs, and others have different beliefs can you not respect them?? Your sarcasm doesn’t come through too well</p>
<p>I can’t figure out if TrueLove is being serious or not.</p>
<p>TrueLove had a little fit over my post on this topic in the Parent’s Cafe a while ago. </p>
<p>I also don’t know if she was being serious or not. She was calling people who have premarital sex sluts so I just figured it was a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Premarital sex should not be done. It is not “right”.</p>
<p>^Once again, sarcasm or not?</p>
<p>^^You and Truelove should hook up.</p>
<p>Oh, there is no sarcasm intended. Those who do not wish to live by the rules of He who created their body, Jesus Christ, always cry “judgemental” to the Christian. You know what you’re supposed to do. But you choose to live loosely. The consequence is that you muck up your body, soul, and spirit in ways you do not understand. </p>
<p>I respect the opposite sex so much that I will NEVER play like a married adult, until I am one. I will never dishonor the opposite sex, myself, or my God who lent me this body. It is His. And I will honor Him by not mucking it up by living by my rules. I understand many who choose to be rebels will fight this. But, just look at the mess it causes. Potentially bringing a child out of wedlock or worse, choosing to murder an unborn child, STD’s, broken hearts, losing respect for one’s body, losing respect for the opposite sex, the list goes ad infinitum. </p>
<p>Show me someone that gives their body away, and I will show you their pattern of a gross, undisciplined, deceptive, messed up life. Show me someone who waits for marriage, and I will show you a person who everyone would say, “Now that is an honorable person”, whether they would want to live that way or not. I know you will argue this. That’s okay. </p>
<p>But this 16 year old is going to journey on the road less traveled, knowing each step of the way is directed by God in honor of Jesus Christ. He has already proven to have honored me by awarding me our nation’s highest award given to youth in D.C. and has blessed me with an outstanding D.C. internship with an amazing assemblyperson. I love living like Tim Tebow. He has so much joy and love for Jesus Christ. What an awesome person!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am pretty sure someone else gave that to you…</p>
<p>^^And how is THIS not judgmental:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, everyone who has premarital sex is the devil incarnate and everyone who gets married a virgin is an angel. Great logic.</p>
<p>Yes, please</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Could you show me a “gross, undisciplined, deceptive, messed up life” without knowing their sexual beliefs, or does this sort of judgment come after this information is revealed to you?</p>
<p>It’s personal, and I certainly won’t judge. However, I’m still surprised when I find out my childhood friends have done it. Maybe it’s because I remember when they still picked boogers. :p</p>
<p>“You know what you’re supposed to do. But you choose to live loosely.”</p>
<p>You act as if your religion is the only religion…you come off as very intolerant.</p>
<p>@aero–people’s actions show me their belief constructs. Who or what controls one’s life is dictated by the principals by which they govern themselves, which, ultimately, “shows up” by how they act. I am simply presenting my opinion on the matter. It will never be accepted by those who are rebels, who are not attracted to doing the right thing. In fact, it will be a lifestyle that is condemned and will be rejected and fought with vitreol to the end! And that is okay. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. So, take a deep breath, attempt to quell any guilt, and take any path in life you wish. Have fun discussing :)!</p>
