I was looking through the first few pages. And I was thinking, wait a minute, isn't this thread at the first place was for us to state our opinion on having sex before marriage? Everyone has their own point of view, so why flame those who stated their opinions? Let them be..
Personally to me, it's up to us to do whatever we want. Everyone has been given a brain each. They can think. If they think it's bad or the other way round, it's up to the individual. Having sex before marriage is common these days, but when you're an adult, you should have been able to think straight. So if that is okay with you, so be it.
IMO, teenagers, most of them are just full of lust. Youngsters, still learning, cannot control their hormones. But underage sex, is bad. I mean, no matter who you are, what you believed in, having sex when you're not even 18 is just not good. Not only that you're still young and not fully matured yet, you can't even think straight. The consequences are unimaginable. What will happen, if the young girl got pregnant? How is she going to continue her school? What will happen to her? Will she be accepted in the oh so judgemental community these days? Will the guy take the responsibilty? What if the guy is also, still so so young? Not to mention it can totally destroy your future. With or without protection, it's still dangerous. (I'm talking about underage sex).. while sex before marriage is okay to most, let's not forget that it is, indeed, not good for the underage.
And I, being trully honest, agree to sex AFTER marriage. My point of view, that is. I respect yours.
