What is PREMARITAL SEX?
I define premarital sex as the act of engaging in sexual intercourse before one is formally married.
As a youth, you may be challenged to commit this act and, if you refuse, others may accuse you of being weak. Though, some youths have come to feel guilty for refusing to have ready sex, and there are instances where female youths have expressed shame at still being virgins at the age of twenty-five. Is it a sign of weakness to refuse to enter into sexual relations before marriage? Well, which would you say takes more strength, to give in to passion or to curtail it?
Actually, any weakling can give in to the sex urge. But it takes a real man (or a real woman) to control that urge until taking a mate in marriage.
It is not fun that you visit a medical practitioner often all because you want to have a contacted sexually transmitted disease (STD) cured. Being sexually active before marriage will make you prone to contacting the dreaded HIV/AIDS, which is yet to have a cure.
What about children born from your act of premarital sex? Suppose you, if a girl, gave birth to such a child, who would care for the child? Your parents? You? How would you do it? And how would the child feel when he or she grows up to know about the circumstance that led to his or her birth?
If you, as a male, fathered an illegitimate child, would your conscience be at rest? Think of all the trouble and shame brought on the mother as well a your child. Certainly that is something to avoid.
Really, what good has ever come from the course of sexual immorality? Why is it that so many undesirable things are associated with it, including crippling veneral diseases, abortions, jealous fights and even murders?
You would be doing yourself a lot of good by abstaining from sex until your wedding day.
Sexual morality does make sense because those who hold to it have a far better likelihood of a successful marriage. In fact, the more careful you are to avoid loose conduct or the taking of liberties during courtship and engagement periods, the more likely will be your success in marriage. Then, neither you nor your mate will have nagging doubts of the genuineness of the others love due to suspicion that sex was the sole motive for marrying. For marriage, after all, it's not just a union of two bodies, it is a union of two persons. And there must be mutual high regard and love for the person if the marriage is to bring lasting happiness.
Love based solely on passion is not an endurance love. It is a SELFISH, GREEDY LOVE!
If you really want to stay free from premarital sex, then stay away from the things that lead to it. Things like conversations that always dwells on the opposite sex, also reading materials or watching pictures that depict sex or excite sexual passion. Keep your mind, your eyes and tongue occupied with clean, positive things, working toward worthwhile goals that bring enduring benefits and that leave no shame or heartache.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Premarital sex is unaccepted and shouldn't be encouraged, I am a religious person.
Me too. Thanks dear. I see we share the same ideology on this issue 😊
You have really made some good points, but I will say if anybody wish to do away with this bad act, such person have got to move with God. If you are a Muslim, do go to the masjid, and as a christian visit your pastors, they are there to always help you combat this emotional torture.
A good point you made there... People should learn to seek divine help when they find it difficult to control their urges.
Remain blessed!
Thanks, and you too...
I really lkve the part where you said....only weakling give in to urge while the real men and women control themselves.
Awww...thanks dear. God bless you!
Wow. I can't believe how short-sighted this is. Sex is an animal act and how are we morally superior to the animal kingdom? Marriage is an institution devised by humans to control the transaction of wealth and social status between families. This entire notion of premarital sex being sinful is quite frankly nothing more than religiously fueled dogma. Of course you shouldn't engage in a sexual act unless you know what you are doing, or without trusting your partner and monitoring your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, but this is reactionary hogwash.
Let me put it into more crypto-friendly terms. Decentralize the love and stop spreading the FUD.

Lol. @theblowtorch, clearly, the topic of the post says MY TAKE on premarital sex. Everyone's opinion varies especially when it comes to things like this. Also, most people are more religious than others.
I appreciate your shared view. Thank you!
But I still stand with my opinion 😊
Cheers!!!
Yes, but progress stems from discord, not acquiescence x

STOPFor me i don't feel is something evil or bad having premarital sex. If both agrees to have sex it is ok has far they play safe. It is not a must that one needs to marry before having sex or giving birth but it should be done with some level of maturity.
Well said, dear
Thank you ma!
