Sex before marriage is a thing promoted not in the bible & many forms of religion. Is it too much to ask or is it possibly a way of freeing ourselves of much stress, heartache & so many other negative aspects they're too many to list. Before we begin let it be stated that we firmly believe that sex before marriage is too dangerous to for most people to engage in & if one is going to have sex before marriage they should at least (meaning at the very minimum) be dating that one person (& only that one person) for at least 12 months before deciding if it's time to start having sex. These time restraints are not written in stone & every situation is different, but the point is to ensure we know who we are going to be with. Often we wait 2-3 dates or a time period less than 2 weeks to begin having sex with someone, who really is a total stranger that we're attracted to, & sometimes not even attracted to.
This is an example of some of the consequences of sex before marriage.
1. Sexually transmitted diseases (to many to name)
2. Rregnancy (this effects the economy & one's personal pursuit of dreams)
3. False expectations
4. Loss of time
5. Bad decision making
6. Increased loneliness
7. Loss of spiritual & mental self worth
8. Being used for sex & becoming disappointed
9. False emotional attachments caused by sex
This is not a protest for celibacy. What we are trying to do is warn people of the many dangers they are already aware of. Sex has a way of temporarily blinding us to these dangers. Even worse sometimes danger is fun & feels good. It's easy to become addicted to something that we think will satasify our needs but never does. If it did we would not have to...... Anyway let us make informed decisions not based on how we feel.
When these facts are presented to people, they say we are taking things out of proportion & these views are way overboard. The same people will defend their actions & continue in this path that will only destroy them. Again we are looking for something to satasify us that can not. How can we feed a spiritual & mental need with physical activity? This is a self made trap in which is formed by our belief system which tells us what we "need" "need to do" & who we "need to be". When controlled by these vairous distortions our decision making will always be self-destructive based on self-deception.
