Reply with quote | #31 | i think sex before marriage is wrong. God said in the bible not to have premarital sex. wait for the right person comes along for you if you think you found that person at an early age you still need to wait. sex is a special gift God has made for a man and a women. don't waste that moment on someone you want ever see again. find someone that is a Christian and believes the same thing you do. make a promise to that person and tell him or her that you love them enough to wait.

Hayden is absolutely right and correct and I’m really impressed by his analysis on the matter before us because that was the doctrine they fed us with right from our formative stage 'close your eyes and a miracle that will multiply your food will happen'. We now know the truth; the hands that added more food while we closed our eyes for prayers were not the hands of God after all. We should desist from using the scriptures to teach our children sexual moral. Let them know, through deliberation and not by any contradictory scripture, the pros and cons of 'abstinence' when they are young and the pros and cons of 'faithfulness' when they are married. Democratically expose them to the attendant trade-offs. Please tell your children in clear terms that there is Happiness In Virginity (HIV) or Happiness In Virtue (HIV) and that sex is worth waiting for. Sex is actually worth waiting for but you must know the person you want to spend the rest of your life with sexually so as not to have a broken marriage.
Most of the scriptures are spiritual anthologies written by several spiritual poets and novelists. In the New Testament, John, James, Peter, Matthew and others contributed to the anthology. Had it been Judas Iscariot were to be alive at that time when others got the inspiration to write, perhaps, he would have written the best piece. Do you think Peter was more creative than Judas? Look at the two sins they both committed and you will be the better judge. Scriptures written about one thousand years ago by these human beings...Did Peter know about HIV/AIDS in his life time?
“Goye into the world and multiply†and so brothers were sleeping with sisters in the beginning. What about the prophet that had it… oh… sorry, married blood sisters? What about the prophet that impregnated his wife’s servant? The other scripture says that it was the wife who lured her husband into sleeping with her servant because they were suffering from childlessness? God is watching all the writers/contributors/interpreters of these anthologies and will judge them accordingly because they are misleading us. Tell the children in clear terms that they should Avoid Intimacy During Singlehood (AIDS) to avoid HIV/AIDS.
Prophet Moses came and he was given the 10 commandments-'Thou Shall Nots'. Jesus Christ came and he started washing away sins with His blood-a very big loophole, an opportunity for the youth to commit atrocities. The youths know very well that if they engage in pre-marital sex, if they commit abortion, they would go on their bended knees before the Mesiah and the sins would be washed with His blood. Oh goodness! But how many cases of HIV/AIDS has the Messiah solved since its discovery in 1981? How many lost wombs, as a result of abortion, has he replaced? In Africa, especially in Nigeria potential bridegrooms nowadays want to be sure the wombs of potential brides are fertile before taking them to altar? One scripture says you cannot enter paradise if you are not married while another scripture prefers CELIBACY. So, we have Nuns, Reverend Fathers and Reverend Sisters that will die in CELIBACY. But we know how some of these pious men and women secretly quench their libidinous fire. I laugh! Deliberation is the answer!
Lay your hand on any record of HIV/AIDS, get any record on criminal activities, you will notice that the youths are more vulnerable, because of all these loopholes and contradictions embedded in the scriptures. Deliberate with the youths, talk and preach to the youths in clear terms and not through any scripture.

I think that virginity represents good character, determination, discipline, and the abilty to control one's desires. Sex before marriage is definitely not desirable and I would recommend having sex only after you have gotten married to your true love. By the way, true love lasts a lifetime, not a few months or years. I’m a 28 year old male, presently in medical school, and I’m proud to be a virgin. I got tons of opportunities from a bunch of girls but of course, I refused. True love is worth the wait. I'll only offer my body to the woman whom I truly love and the woman who truly loves me. My body is not a cheap piece of meat that I offer to anyone for free. -R |

Reply with quote | #34 | Raul, Virginity is like raw gold; True love is like diamond. These things exist in abstract nowadays. You are right, but you need to visit any marriage counselor around your neighbourhood and find out more about this issue. Sexual incompatibility has destroyed many homes! I got married five months ago to my love. If I had known, what I'm experiencing would not have occured. We are still childless because my love-wife has Pelvic Infamatory Disease (PID). I'm lucky because it is treatable. I'm just knowing her sexually. We are now using resources for survival to treat PID.

Reply with quote | #36 | Folorunsho, I'm really sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she gets well soon. I've heard another interesting analogy for love and sex: "Love is to beer as sex is to foam."

Ahahaha! Dear Rahul, that is a lovely one. I'll keep it in my memory. Sex is made in heaven, pure and simple. Go ye into the world and multiply. There are many things that are sweeter than it but nothing is exactly like it. It actually worths waiting for. Imagine some people are suicide bombers just because seven virgins are waiting for them in paradise |

Reply with quote | #38 | my name is zack, my girlfriend has something to say! her name is tabitha and i love her so much!........ Well i think if you feel right having sex before you are married you should! but like you should stay with them forever, and if you dont think you want to be with them forever then dont go and have sex with them! Just keep your pants up! You shouldnt have sex with so many people because you would be called a whore! Thats what i think about having sex before marraige and after! Its Not a big deal! |

Reply with quote | #39 | Zack and his girl friend,
Well, if you are not up to something mischeivous the moment you discover that you are not compatible sexually then you should settle scores amicably. I still do not see anything wrong with sex before marriage. A poser! which one do you prefer: Sex before marriage resulting to broken relationship or a broken marriage as a result of sexual incompatibility? on WHORE: Whore has no gender sympathy. It affects both male and female! Women are also guilty of sexual assualt nowadays.

My name is Patricia Leo from Huntington Park California I knew a guy at Macys were I used to work name Arsen from Burbank California. We were dating getting to know each other, He started out great I believe because I did'nt have sex with him. I was happy with him I liked him he told me he was very interested in me I trusted him I had sex with him in his car later when I was done I was sad I told him "Im affraid that you might walk away" He told me to trust him that he wont hurt me. I trusted him with my body cause I notice that he would still stick by me still talk to me so I kept having sex with him. I got mad with him once cause he told me that he wont be able to see me cause he is going to a friends party. I told him if I could go with him and he said " for what it is a family party" so then we argue. I send a text message to him telling him to leave me alone because he told me he didnt want anything serious with me. I wanted something serious with him. He called me over the phone and I did'nt answer so then he told me once that he was never my boyfriend after we kissed and had sex. So now he does not answer my calls or return my calls. I taught that something bad had happen to him that he would not return my calls, but then I called again and he hangs up the phone on me five times. I got hurt emotionally and felt used, I felt regret due to the fact that he was ignoring me and due to the fact that I trusted him with my body. Right now I don't know if he will every look for me again. I hope that he does not see me as a hooker. Sex before marriage can led to regret if the guy does not support you. I had felt like I was nothing. |

Reply with quote | #43 | Dear Patricia,
Different tales for different folks. This is life. What works for some people may be a disaster for others. It means premarital sex has its pros and cons. Okay, let's start deliberating. Who will name and frame this issue for us? Any help, please.
