Deciding About Pre Marital Sex

The most frequently asked question is if it is okay to have pre-marital sex. Every teenagers heading in the direction engaged in intimate relation and are not sure what to do, ask this question. The mind is in an impasse. On the positive end, there is the fulfilment of sexual pleasures, peer pressure, hope of pleasure. But then if looked at the negative end, there is acceptance from the society, moral turpitude aberrance, fear of disease and pregnancy and guilt. How to know if it is right?

Is it morally correct?

If you ask this question to your friends, there is a fair probability of them ridiculing you. But inside even your own conscience is annoyed and confused (conscience being your gut or your inner voice). But then again, how do you know if your consciences will make the right decision for you. After all, it’s a part of you. So people resort to bible. Bible doesn’t say sex. It says fornication. And fornication means sex intercourse without being married to one. The only difference that bible clarifies is that adultery is immoral. Adultery is intercourse of a married person with n unmarried one.  but according to bible, premarital sex is as immoral as adultery.

Is premarital sex unsafe?

The next most asked question. A fact is that around half of those who are infected with hiv are in between the age group of 15 to 24.  Also using a condom decreases the chance of sexually transmitted diseases by 85%. But these statistics hold no prominence if they’re ignored. So next time you think if you should have premarital sex, take notice of these facts first.

What is the limit?

Very commonly, teenagers don’t know where they should draw the line. What is the limit? If the decision is not to have sex at all, then where should the physical relationship end? Again, if you go as per the bible, nothing more than hugging holding hands, and light pecks on cheeks is moral. Any kind of sexual activity should be only and exclusively for the married couple.

What if the sin is already done?

Highly tensed question from the guilt. What if we have crossed the line and it’s already too late? Well, then, remorse is good. But then you should abstain from repeating it. Ask for god’s forgiveness, guidance and help, and remain sexually pure till before marriage. That should help.
