I'm in favour of safe, consentual sex.

As far as I'm concerned, marriage and sex are two completely separate things; there's no real connection between them. Have sex before marriage, after marriage, whatever - it's irrelevent. What IS relevent is that you have sex safely and conscienciously.

Come on now, be reasonable. No risk, no fun. If this wasn't true, bungee jumping wouldn't be so popular.


I'm against (other people using) condoms because the country needs to increase its population base. Of course I have no intention of having children for 10 years or more (hypocrit.)

What? You are deluded.

[Novis]

No, but people've been doing it for 1000s of years so I'm not shocked by it or anything.

[Retrodiction]

Don't see the issue with an act taking place between 2 consenting adults, and especially don't see how not having a piece of paper (marriage certificate) makes it any worse.

My view is that people should wait for marriage.

My view is that you STFU and run off a cliff.

I can only guess by the red bars that you enjoy giving controversial viewpoints...

[oo00oo]

Obviously in favour...

There's no negative consequences. Plus, sex is a natural biological function... marriage isn't. Telling somebody not to have sex before marriage is like telling them not to have a bowel movement before 5pm.

[Id and Ego seek]

I'm not religious; I see no problem in it whatsoever as long as you're using protection.

[Bellissima]

people should choose what they want and not judge others for what THEY choose to do.

personally for me, marriage is just a legal thing as well as showing eachother your comittment... doesn't mean anything sexually... so i would not be with someone who wanted to wait until marriage for sex.

You are wrong.
Christianity will never be obsolete. FULL STOP.

I am a Christian and I agree with the OP. The proper context for sexual intercourse is within a committed lifelong relationship in which the man and woman have vowed fidelity to each other before God. The white dresses worn at marriage should mean something (ie purity)- I certainly hope my future wife hasn't cheated me out of that.

"Buy before you try"- if we are going to use purchasing metaphors anyway. Human beings are not for sale. Sexual incompatibility is extremely rare in the experience of Christian counselors; it hardly (if ever) happens that a couple cannot have a loving and fulfilling physical relationship once they are married.

Like slavery you mean? Funny that well known Christians like Pat Robertson can abuse sourcers' labour in diamond mines with impunity. But, as the Bible condones slavery, I guess this should be expected.

Then again, you probably don't think anything of people having tattoos I guess. Always amuses me when Christians impose their beliefs on others without much criticism but if a Muslim advocated Sharia Law for civil matters, which the Jews already have, then the country explodes. This is just militant Christendom, as Baroness Warsi would put it. Well, it would be militant if it was atheism anyway.

[Frankie 007]

Absolutely in favour of it. And even from a religious point of view, the message that is at the core of most faiths is love! The rest is just human interpretation and manipulation!

Would you buy a car without a test drive?

If the car had money, a good job and a house. Yeah.

[minimarshmallow]

As long as its safe and consensual, who cares if someone is married or not?
Also, I don't plan on getting married, so it isn't pre-marital sex for me...

Reminds me of the Hart Devlin debate in Law.

I agree with Hart when he said that morality should be left to the individual and that acts in private were not a threat to society.
