| No sex before marriage(Dr.Phil) Posted: 5/5/2007 8:04:42 PM | | The Catholic Church has a class for engaged couples required. All these things are laid on the table before they marry. I believe it is called the Canna conference. The church has an eighty six percent marital success rate. My son just got engage and he and his fiance are taking the classes. The church knows what its doing; its been around since Jesus walked this earth; I believe about 2000 yrs. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 5/5/2007 11:20:17 PM | Hmmmm... I don't think I can do that long without.. So for me the answer would be a definate NO I don't agree with you. Once you've tasted something, you always want seconds if the taste is right. So in sex it will be no different. But I do admire people holding out till they get married. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 5/5/2007 11:28:01 PM | I dont believe in it because i would wanna try out the goods before i brought it but i dont think it is a bad thing if you believe that saving yourself for someone special is the way to go well then good on ya chick.
Question: what are you going to do if you dont get married?????????????? | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 5/6/2007 7:18:24 AM | | I am 42 and never married still thinks that it is a good idea. To wait and save until marriage what a pure relationship to Honor God and to put God first. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 5/6/2007 8:20:00 AM | | in the begining i was going to wait but i decided im not going to wait. im just going to make sure my first time i have protection on me. dont get me wrong i want kids but not now because i have my whole life ahead of me. and my first time im making sure that its with someone that truly has respect for me and my body. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 5/6/2007 3:17:09 PM | | You will certainly find a few people who will agree that it's a good idea, but not very many. There was a study quoted just in the last few weeks I think on the Yahoo Web Site on the subject. According to the article as I remember it, for younger people, around 90 percent have premarital sex. If the age range is extended past 30 the figure is close to 95 percent. Whether this is good or bad is open to debate but the figures speak for themselves. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/14/2007 9:17:05 PM | | My gf and I have decided to wait, but I don't believe the "don't buy a car before the test drive" comparisons. You can make love without actually having sex, and there are spots on the body that are actually more pleasurable for her ( kissing the neck really does it). We both really like foreplay, so whats the matter anyways? | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/14/2007 9:28:05 PM | sorry but when i buy a car i don't just kick the tires pop the hood and look at the motor i get in it tool around a little | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/14/2007 10:07:41 PM | The reason for waiting goes way back to the early days when men were animals....wait!..they still are! So a girl is considered smart to make him wait because once a man gets "it" he runs looking for the next kill. So make him wait until after he's committed, then it isn't so easy for him to run, especially if you also happen to get pregnant. See???
The problem with this theory is: How many men will wait until after marriage? How many even want to get married in the first place, much less have kids?
So either way a girl goes, she is bound to be very disappointed most of the time.
BTW: Many women who do wait and find out sex with the husband is not fun at all, will see movies or hear other women talking about how "good" it is, and become curious, eventually leading them to cheat and/or get divorced so they can hopefully have "normal" sex and love instead of some guy always doing It , and probably everything else, His way. The few women who do stay, do so out of obligation to him and the kids, but hate having him touch them, so move into another bedroom with the kids, later grandkids, and even later dogs in the bed with her - works better than any chastity belt! | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 4:01:17 AM | I completely agree with no sex before marriage and actually have a 2 step process before even getting married.
Step 1 is to date for at least one year, if after one year both people in the relationship feel the other is the one then comes step 2, moving in together. When you live with someone you will actually see any and all bad habits the other may have, after a year of that both will have a good idea if they still want to spend the rest of their life together.
Some of my friends tease me about my steps but I have seen too many people get married after only doing the dating thing then be divorced only a short time later because they didn't really know each other enough.
Anyways, that's my opinion on this and if this makes it harder for me to find that special someone then so be it.

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 4:59:49 AM | I completely agree with the fact of no sex before marriage. From a pure statistical point of view, people BEFORE did not have sex before marriage (at least most people) and we didn't have as many medical problems as today (e.g. stds, hiv, aids...).
If you strongly believe in your faith, then your partner will truly appreciate you. However with today's society's constant sex obsession, its harder to maintain your position on this matter.
The "test before you drive formula" doesn't apply here. Why? Because even if you don't click with that person sexually, it is the spiritual and mental bond that makes both as one.
I'm not saying anything new here. I'm just repeating what has been proven for centuries ... | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 10:56:50 AM | | Sure, this country, which was founded on Judeo-Chirstian beliefs, gives us the right to choose. Some choose right, but too many choose wrong, and thats why this country is turning to crap. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 11:12:10 AM | | Right! Except that guy watching the porn had hidden that from his wife while they were dating, as most men do. Most men hide a lot, because they Know it's wrong, then we find out all the weird, perv things after it's too late. A married man who thinks he has to look at that crap is wanting to cheat, and should not have married at all. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 2:13:05 PM | Do you have previous negative bagage from a past event that happened to you? Cause the last 3 post = MEN ARE IDIOTS!!!!
Not all men are like you say, and maybe your probably not aware, but women lately are acting the same as men ...But men and women today are equal (which is a good thing ), and their both behaving in the samer manner. So its not just men
Is this good or bad, depends who you talk to!
Good luck! | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/15/2007 2:16:31 PM | sure, its a great idea. its one that requires discipline and a lot of patients (on the other partners side of things)... it requires one to be passionate about why they are doing it and be able to stand firm with themselves and to others...
however.
i personally think its an outdated idea. i think sex should be between two people who are connected to each other and in a relationship, but i know that sex is important enough to meh, that if its NOT good, then it puts a bit (or lot) of strain on the relationship.
and i'm just too shallow to deal with that. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/24/2007 9:28:57 AM | Yes I think it is a good thing for two to wait untill marriage it shows more faith and trust and true love comes to be more fact .It always shows the strength of true love .Sex is much better when they wait till marriage and it is much healthier for the heart. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 9/17/2007 6:58:14 AM | | I agree. In an age where 'sex' is bandied about until its not special anymore and in a world where I am one among few that are hopeless romantics, I would like to wait. I believe its not 'sex', its making love, and I will do that and only do that with my partner of love, my partner for life. I dont like the idea of contraception, the cost, the bother and its not always reliable. When I eventually do have sex I will not need contraception because I will be married and want babies. Stick to your morals. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 9/17/2007 7:05:20 AM | I would hate to be married to someone that I was not sexually compatible with.
I did not wait until I was married to have sex for the first time, nor will I wait until I am remarried to do so agin. | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/11/2007 9:27:30 PM | | sorry.. if I did that I would have been 36.. and would have missed many years of great sexx... | |
