Purity seems archaic; abstinence impossible. Why wait when everyone else is getting the goods now?
So many people think that sex before marriage is stupid! But to a lot of people especially religious believe that sex before marriage is sexually immoral. That God designed sex as an expression of love between husband and wife.
Here are some quotes taken from the Christian and Hebrew bible.
1 Corinthians 7:2-3 – “But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.” (NIV)
Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”
1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 – “It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holyhttp://christianteens.about.com/od/whatthebiblesaysabout/f/Sex.htm
I think that in this day and age especially for youth there is a lot of pressure to have sex, even underage. At school we tend to think that everyone is doing it, when in fact their not. Or on that Friday night we get absolutely wasted and end up having sex!! No excuse but still it happens. Plus premarital sex is everywhere Magazines, news, music and movies its almost like they won’t youth to have sex before marriage.
I don’t think people should be judged for having sex before marriage. A lot of people don’t even won’t to get married, and what happens to girls who get raped? Does that count as premarital sex? Because if it does I think that IS wrong!!

This is a interesting blog, I apree with you when you say that there is a big pressure on people to have sex, especially youths. I think the media play a massive role in that too, I mean you've even got nakedness in adverts nowerdays. All this exposure and the openess that British TV has about sex and being comfortable with being naked on screen kind of makes sex look like a casual thng. That is why when people learn that in certain religon's sex is seen as being sacrid and that sex before marraige is sinful, they get shocked because from what people are exposed too with the media, sex is not that big of a deal to some people. This is not always a good thing though, we all are aware that teenage pregnancy is a big issue in Wolverhampton and that sexually transmitted disease rates are rising. So if the presure was lifted off youths it would have a lot of positive affects. I also think that some youths need to respect themselves and hold onto their dignity and realise that they need to be comfortable in their own skin before have sex with someone. Religous beliefs are all about being pure, dignified and sacrid, I understand that some points are not for everyone but I guess no harm could come from waiting.
