    Well truthfully, Im sort of against it (because of religion) but I dont think its the worst thing in the world. Im against it, but if you do, its a "eh" kind of thing for me

    I'm not against it. If you are attracted to the person enough to get married, and you both care for each other.

    Whoop de **** if it's questioned sometimes.

    Also:
    In before ****storm.
    In before Darktemplar_L whining about his Lounge topics.
    In before somebody saying something.
    In before ItzaHexGor debating the F*CK out of this with probably the person above.

    I'm all for it. I mean, it'd be a fairly important part of the relationship, and I don't think anyone would want to get to that stage before finding out there's a problem. It's just like living together. You wouldn't want to be going out with someone for ages, propose, get married, ask them to move in with you or whatever, and then find you're constantly treading on each others' toes and have completely different views on how things should be run. Apparently my 'rents weren't living together when they got married, so maybe I'm just clueless.

    Though, having said all that, I'm not all for just sleeping around and jumping on anything with a heartbeat. Not drastically opposed to it, but not all for it.

    Yeah, it was a lot easier to go into the intricacies of living together than it is to go into the intricacies of sex. :p

    Willy, you also should have said in before communism was mentioned.

    i don't agree with it because my religion, but it's also my own personal decision as well. if people want to, and did, fine, be stupid and get pregnant or some STDs. and if you're gonna do it, least use some freaking protection. tired of seeing pregnant girls in my school and 17 year old mothers who are going to have a hard time with the rest of their lives, or all the abortion cases from girls in their teens who are making the baby die because they couldn't control their urges. People have diluted sex in this world. Sex is used to make kids, and no one thinks of it for that, they always just want the pleasure it offers. true, it's alright to enjoy it, but i think people should wait. i don't think people who are younger have the mental maturity to handle it. but then again, older people do, too. in all, i think people should only so it with someone they love. even though people argue about those people who then never have spouses.

    I'm all for it. Highschool experimentation is one thing, but for mature people who will commit to each other, it's one of the most important parts of a relationship. I can only imagine what it would be like to wait until after marriage for sex, but it seems like such a decision would just put a barrier between you and your loved one for no good reason.

    Assuming we teach people how to be responsible about it.
    Also I favor privatization of marriage.
    So with those in mind...

    I'd say sex before marriage should be slightly encouraged at most and "do whatever want" at the least.

    Too late there bunker.

    Sex is an important part of any adult relationship. There is more to the relationship then sex, if it isn't, then there is a problem, but sex is still very important thing to do with the one you love.

    Sex is an urge, but when you have such a strong urge for the one you love, it is sweet and romantic. *romantic*

    Now that doesn't mean the sex is sweet and gentle no. For me sex is very passionate and being a sadist not gentle. Gentle is fun sometimes, more so when it is your first few times all together, or your first few times with that person. You need to learn them first.

    Though I am not gonna lie, I have had sex with people that I do not love. Simply because I have the urge to. I am not a fan of myself for doing this. The person I love has confessed to me that she has done this once too, but you know what. I love her for it. You like someone for their perfections, you love them for their flaws.

    I agree with others who have said that sex is an important part of an adult relationship. Accordingly, I don't have a problem with anybody's sexual decisions. If you want to wait until marriage, fine. If you want to only have sex in serious, committed relationships, fine. If you want to have sex for fun, that is also fine. When it comes down to it though, make sure you are ready. Too many kids nowadays think they are ready, when they are really no where near mature enough to do so.

    If you are having trouble with the decision, here are some things to think about:
    -You are not ready to have sex if you are embarrassed to buy a pack of condoms at your local convenience store.
    -You are not ready to have sex if you haven't pondered a worse-case scenario (e.g. if a pregnancy occurred, what would you do?).
    -You are not ready to have sex if you are unwilling to talk to your doctor about it.
    -You are not ready to have sex if you wouldn't talk to your parents about it. I'm not saying you should be like "Hey mom guess what I'm about to do!" I'm saying that if for some reason your parents asked you about sex, you would be willing to tell the truth.

    If any of the above apply - you need to wait. Otherwise, have at it. And don't be stupid - use protection every time.

    what really bugs me is the way sex ed is sometimes thought in some countries, at least, i heard that in some schools you actuallly learn that condoms are devices of the devil

    could have heard wrong though



    it is really weird how many teen moms there are in america, compared to for an example Europe. In the Netherlands where the common age for sex is 15 there are far fewer teen moms by comparison then in America

    Also agreed. Sex education needs to be completely comprehensive. Too many teens are woefully un-prepared when it comes to sexual matters. This probably contributes to America's higher number of teen moms.
