The discussion revolves around the question of whether there are valid reasons to abstain from premarital sex, particularly from the perspective of a 20-year-old seeking clarity on the topic. Key points include the acknowledgment of potential risks such as pregnancy and STDs, emphasizing the importance of communication with partners about these risks and personal readiness. Participants highlight that if one feels the need to justify their decision to abstain, that may indicate uncertainty about their choice. The conversation also touches on the emotional implications of sex, such as the potential for developing strong attachments and the impact of sexual relationships on future commitments. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards making informed decisions based on personal values, readiness, and mutual respect, rather than succumbing to peer pressure or fear.

Has anyone of you thought of that the simplest way to avoid pregnancy is not to engage in sex acts that may lead to conception? :smile:

For those of you unfamiliar with Arildno, fatherhood is not something that he needs to be concerned about.

I would posit that pre-marital expressions of sexuality are not only important, but also an inherently valued aspect of species survival.

Reproduction requires (disallowing laboratory conditions) partners of opposite sex. If Arildno were not so irreplaceable in his job as a particle physicist, he could most certainly be snapped up to replace Freddy Mercury as the lead singer of 'Queen'.

And as a side-note: if I didn't agree with pre-marital and/or extra-marital sex, I would be the world's only 50-year-old virgin !

Lots of controversy over that passage. Lot of sincere Christians believe Onan's sin wasn't spilling per se, but outright disobeying the direct command of God.

Jus retailing interpretations of an old story folks.

I was fooling of course but thanks for the info, not being religous myself it's sometimes hard to tell what that story is suposed to be saying :smile:

Well here's something I thought about. If whoever I had sex with for the first time was my wife, would it help me be more attached to her? How much would it help?

Well I did this. One thing it brings to a marriage is improved trust. I could honestly tell my bride I was a vrigin as she was. And since I had never built up an expectation of multiple partners by catting around while I was single, I didn't have any real problem staying single. I knew a couple where the man cheated on his wife and it just about destroyed her. It wasn't just that she felt betrayed, which she did; it was that her self worth just plummeted because in effect he had told he she wasn't worth his full attention.

Sorry, Chi. I have enough trouble with the acronyms and home-made smilies [ :0 , :) , etc.]. That one went right over my head. :redface:
