Should you have premarital sex?

Well, what do you feel? I guess it's as simple as the question.

A man and woman hugging she has behind his back a condom.

Studies show that bad sex is a major issue in a marriage. I think it is important to connect with your partner both emotionally and sexually, and before you commit to marriage it is important that you know you do both.

You have to think rationally - you are committing to stay with this partner for the rest of your LIFE - it is your life we're talking about, don't you wanna make the best of it?

Of course you can get a divorce if everything goes really bad, but I don't think you should enter a marriage with an attitude, that you're just gonna get a divorce if it doesn't work.

Side: Yes

Studies on the topic show that people who have premarital sex before getting married have a higher incidence of divorce. Ironic, isn't it ;)

Can I ask if the premarital sex is only with the partner you later married, or several other partners?

I think it is cool, and probably a plus, that you only have sex with one partner your whole life, but I don't think that you need a paper to allow you to do so.

I feel it's better to figure out what's going on with your partner down there before becoming wed.

the reason premarital sex was forbidden in the first place is to avoid unplanned pregnancies and abortions and it was also a way to protect women. but now women are becoming more and more strong and independent. today marriage is a choice for women not an obligation. So why shouldn't we have premarital sex?

Side: Yes

You understand that arranged marriages were forced on both men and women, right? It wasn't much of a choice for the man or the woman, it was entirely up to the parents.

And how did making pre-marital sex a sin protect women? It stopped them from enjoying sex until they had an "its ok to have sex" ceremony (marriage) please explain how that protected women?

The way I see it, teenagers are told to not do three things: Drugs, Alcohol, and Sex. However, only two out of the three are actually bad for you. On the other hand, sex is healthy and good for you. As long as protection is used and both participants are okay with it, then it's fine.

Of course. No point in marrying them if they're not a good fuck...

Side: Yes

No one wants to marry a bad lay .

Side: Yes

I think that if somebody wants to have sex before marriage, than they have every right to make that choice. These days it is even acceptable in society. So I do not see why it should not be allowed, I think it should. Although I fully respect those who decide to wait until marriage as well. It is just up to every individuals own beliefs and opinion.

Side: Yes

You don't have to, but it's ok if you do. Sex is a way of exploring and developing your relationships. As long as you don't hook up with every random person you meet and it's consensual I think it's acceptable.

Yes, people who have premarital sex are usually more popular. Popular people have good people skills and are attractive. This gives them opportunities to join fraternities and sororities. This leads to networking opportunities at major corporations.

No. Premarital sex is a sin. I respects someone's right to choose though.

I don't think you should intentionally hunt down sexual encounters. It's something that's glorified a lot in some circles and frowned upon a lot in others. But uh, honestly it's something that can come along fairly naturally. I mean, if you really want to sate a curiosity, go for it. But if you lust after the act too much, there are problems that come along with it. A lot of 'em.

I don't think this is as black-and-white an issue as the debate poster makes it out to be, though. I'm on this side because I don't condone wanton sex, nor do I think it's essential.

Side: No

Considering sex is for marriage then it would be an abuse and sin to have it outside of marriage.

Side: No

How is it an abuse? If you'd please explain

It would be an abuse of it's original purpose, which is the context of marriage.

I'm neutral on this but leaning more toward no. I believe that oral sex and manual sex is fine before marriage because it helps you get more accustomed to being intimate in that way. What I don't agree with is having anal or vaginal sex before marriage. I mean, you usually get attached to the person you lose your virginity to so I believe you should lose your anal or vaginal virginity to the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with.

Side: No
