<p>There are… but sex is a way to bond with your partner.</p>
<p>I have a way to end this. Are you the person having premarital sex? If not, then let the person live THEIR life. Don’t Micromanage and judge based on some Natural action by inserting your social construct or moral “rightness”.</p>
<p>
Shave it all off? </p>
<p>It’s fine if people want to live their life a certain way. No one could care less as long as you aren’t hurting someone or yourself. But don’t push your beliefs onto someone else or claim that everyone who thinks differently is “bad”. It’s hard to respect someone who doesn’t respect you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s what happens to EVERYONE that has sex.</p>
<p>Well…</p>
<p>First off, TrueLove: You aren’t helping your side. Talking like that isn’t going to do anything except fuel people’s prejudices.</p>
<p>As for me, I’m a Christian. I believe that marriage between a man and a woman for life is the way humans were designed to work. However, I also believe that we are the show grace towards others. The story of Jesus and the adulteress comes to mind…</p>
<p>

<p>Ah, leave him alone. He’s a math major. Proof is his life 
</p>
<p>eastafro- you are ignorant and need to grow up if you believe half of what you say. I’m sexually active and as free of STIs as you are.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your ignorance amuses me.</p>

<p>Not sure how many of you trust WebMD, but throwing it out there.</p>
<p>Plus I was watching 1000 Ways to Die. There was a couple who waited until 14 years after their marriage to lose their virginity to each other. They were just a timid couple… but anyway when they finally did it, both of them had heart attacks and died. True story, just sharing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wholeheartedly agree with this. I always say people should be allowed to do as they please as long as there actions are not harming anyone else.</p>
<p>@Chocolate Banana-I totally appreciate your argument. As a Christian, with a boyfriend of 2 years who is also a Christian, we feel like religion is really the only thing stopping us. I mean, we love each other and we’re almost sure we’re gonna get married… However, every time we “mess up,” not only do we feel guilty, but our relationship is strained. God really truly meant for sex to be in the confines of marriage, because its supposed to be a special thing to share with the one person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. For any normal person, its NOT EASY! Trust me, I know! But I find whenever I follow what I believe to be right, I am so much happier, and my relationships with my boyfriend (and God) are so much happier, as well :)</p>
<p>Gypsy, I could care less what other Americans or anybody does. Look, I am just rediculously in love with this Jesus Christ guy. He’s got what I want – an amazing heart – a True Love with which I am in desperate need. I, by nature, am a selfish person who would love to do whatever I wanted. But, something in me says that just is too easy, too animal, too selfish, too gross. I love how Jesus was about making other people’s life beautiful. He did that by telling them how to live in such a way that they would never have to feel guilt or any bad feeling. He showed us how to live with love that would never put ourself first. I want to be an amazing blessing to others by encouraging them to live life with pureness that frees people up in their conscience to by very dynamic, loving people. Woops, I am way too verbose. Sorry!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We are talking about whether we should stop people from doing it. We’re arguing about whether they should be chosing to do it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>says who? you trick!!!</p>
<p>Since when is Christianity the greatest religion out there? Is it the see all end all? Last time I checked, there were many religions. What makes yours the right one?</p>
<p>@MosbyMarion, where is the not suppose to be?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Honestly, I have no issue with your faith. Heck, I’m happy you have it. But really, sex is natural. It is not natural feel strained and bad every time you “mess up”. I am a normal person (no really, I am) and sex for me is easy. It is simply another form of love.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Economically speaking, because the comparative advantage of having premarital sex far outweighs other forms of sexual stimulation. </p>
<p>People do find activities that can match or exceed their perceived pleasure of sexual stimulation. But often, it is simply easier to invite your significant other and spend the night together. I can’t just go sky diving every few days. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that what constitutes a comparative advantage is, in this case, entirely up to the individual.</p>
<p>I think I may be within the minority (maybe growing majority?) who thinks sex is just sex. I’ve never been in a committed relationship yet I’ve had sex. I didn’t feel any emotional distress or guilt and I don’t feel the need to develop any relationships anytime soon.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree. Jesus = <em>insert word that doesn’t exist in the english language but than means awesome^64</em></p>
<p>But that isn’t really helping the argument at hand, is it? That explains why YOU don’t do it. It doesn’t really get us very far about other people.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Trick? I’m afraid I’m not familiar with this terminology. </p>
<p>@TrueLove- Let he among us without sin be the first to condemn. Jesus taught us to love everyone, not just everyone who fit our rigid set of criteria of who was a good person. There are plenty of perfectly good people out there who do not live exactly according to Jesus’ laws. He saw that and I hope in time that you can too. Best wishes on that front.</p>
