I would and I have.

Absolutely. May not be the moral thing to do. but I'd like to live together also. I've done the moral thing and it's been close to a complete disaster!!!!! We all need to know all of our crazy little habits before we jump in.

It's too late, I've already have had sex before marriage.

Not right before marriage...just think of the wedding photo's, and the poor congrigation watching... Then again... no wait, the poor page boy, it would scar him for life.

Yes

I don't believe sex before marriage is immoral, but I think there's good reason to be moderate (if not celibate) before marriage. Sex is the most intimate activity in which a couple can engage; it's the complete giving of oneself to another and it marks that person special above all others. To make it a routine event diminishes the meaning and will eventually dilute the power and uniqueness of such a gift to your life partner.

I draw the line at writing your own vows. Adding sex to the ceremony is just gratuitous. There's plenty of time for sex in the receiving line at the reception. Oh! You mean "MARRIAGE". Sure!

Only if I was overpowered by my own sinful lust.

You have to test drive the car before you buy it. If you two don't have sexual chemistry, and don't realize this before taking the plunge, you could end up with something much worse than premarital sex, a divorce.

If I didn't I would have had to wait from the age of 21 until the age of 45 when I first got married!

No i'v married, and havn't sex

No.

I have had sex before I married but the only premarital times i dont regret is when I concieved my daughter.

The Bible and word of The Lord GOD ALMIGHT SAYS THAT: you should not defile the marriage bed. For those that may have made this mistake it is not to late to be forgiven or saved from Hell. If you really want your life to be turned around then you should pray this prayer to God alone in your room so that you truly mean it to him; Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Forgive me of my sin. Set me free. Jesus, thank You that You died for me. I believe that God raised You from the dead. Fill me with the Holy Spirit, the peace of God, and the joy of the Lord. Give me a passion to reach the lost, a hunger for the things of God, and a holy boldness to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm saved. I'm born-again. I'm forgiven and I'm on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart. Thank You Jesus! I can assure you that you should not take this element of fornication for granted. I know many people who have commited this action before marriage and they have become highly miserable about it. I would never do such a thing and if I may add, what was the point of all your parent steaching you how you should live both right and morally based on the element of respect to yourself, your family and others if you are just gonig to waste what you have been taught. I shall give you a variety of reasons as to how such actions can be distraught to your current life state, there is the element of treatment to potential children if pregnancy occurs, it would be against the morals to bring up a child in an environment in which the child cannot fully be loodked after if fornication (sex before marriage) takes place at such an early age. It can cause significant distress to your friends and families especially parents if they found out. From my bold opinion to all those who are considering this I would greatly urge you to resist the temptation to do so. If I were in power I would make it a law to fornicate (do sex before marriage). In conclusion to my thoughts and statements expressed I finally say that it is wrong to undertake sex before marriage as it goes completely against moral basis and also against God himself. The Bible also says that one should respect his or her body and ones body is in fact God's temple since it is he who made us and not we ouselves. This is clearly identifiable in the book of 1 Corinthians 3 verse 16 na d1 Corinthians 6 verse 19. Heed the words to which I have said to you all. I hope you can use these arguments if you are in favour of what I have said to your other peers, friends and aquaintences.

It is clearly wrong to do sex before marriage, but that does not mean to say that people cannot repent of their actions before God and ask for forgiveness and help those around them who are thinking about it to no carry out the action.

This action is completely wrong and immoroal and so should not be done AT ALL!!!!!

If I knew what I know now, then no.

Yes

Been there, done that.

yes .yes..yes!!... what?... my cherry got popped 41 years ago ...its to late to lie about it now! :):)

Too late, already have....

yes, marriage is such an institution. sex before marriage is not wrong. it is human nature to want sex. it is one of the most natural things. i'm not saying sleep around or anything. i respect my body but making sex as something that has to come after marriage can really mess things up. it can lead to marrying someone for the wrong reasons - ie because you want to have sex and your too young to know who you really are and therefore chose a life partner. finding the person you want to marry doesn't always happen as soon as you may think. so dont deny what is natural to you. sex before marriage is totally normal. i would even say its healty.

Been having sex for nearly 31yrs and I'm not married yet.

I would insist.

If you truly believe this person is the one you will be staying with for what's left of life, you have both talked about your future together and made plans for it, sure why not, I don't like the idea of jumping around from man to man , I've only been intimate with one man and I will keep it that way. If it is just an act to receive pleasure. no cause then the point of making love isn't there its just pure sex, and honestly i like feeling loved.

Yes! What if u got married and then they sucked at it...

No. No try-before-you-buy.

Nope I am a christian and God spoke aganist it so imma wait till marriage.

but of course...:)

Yes

It depends where you from!In US it's not a problem or maybe some other countries,but lets say where I come from,Armenia, it's non acceptable!My friend was not a virgin,but this new guy was really in love with her and wanted to marry her,so when she told him,that he was not gonna be her first one,he broke up!Maybe it sounds stupid..i don't know,,But I was a virgin when I got married:)

no but i want.

NOOOOO! I believe that by waiting, I have already started to love, honor and respect the man I will marry even though I don't know who that is yet. I feel that sex is way too special to share with anyone other than my hubby.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Yes, it is a prerequisite!

Absolutely. You do not buy a gross of wine without sampling a bottle or two, do you?

Not if you expect a virgin. 'Test drives' only make sense if your prospective mate is somehow defective. I suspect there are better ways of making that determination. It's better to wait.

I think you should wait until you say "I DO"

Heck, yes! Sex before BREAKFAST, even

I see absolutely no reason why not, if your of the right age.

No, thats bad. Not only for religious reasons, but also for Maury Povich reasons.

Depends. I have heard that if (some) men "get some", they will drag their feet to the alter. That holding out until the vows,will allow a woman to weed out those whom are only interested in the physical. I have also heard that waiting until marriage, allows a couple to build a more emotional connection, that perhaps would not be developed if they had sex before they got married. It is comforting to know that if you go on a long trip and are apart from one another or (more extreme) if one partner is unable to function "physically" that the couple can still connect with each other on other levels. Yes sex is important to any relationship but it will not keep a couple together.

Well, I was brought up believing that sex outside marriage is wrong and I think part of me still believes that, but I've had 4 different partners, so obviously I would do it. I have.

I have, although I am not sure it was a good idea. Its something you can't forget and brings more pain the happiness in memories.

Yes and I have, would you buy a car without a test drive?

Nope!

I really Respect people that wait until Marriage. Its a very commendable thing. To Answer your question though..I have had sex so I guess its a yes.

Sex use to be very damageing before marriage. thousands of people and childern have died form stds, abortions and even murders all because of sex. Sex however is safe both physicaly and emotionaly now. Condoms, birth control, porn, and sex toys make sex very safe. most people understand that sex is about geting off and injoying the other person are persons reactions to what your doing. Its not even about love when you are married are love the person the foreplay is love the cuddleing after is love the sex is always lust. Think about it this way if a person that you realy loved and cared for was bad at sex It would not feel as good are be as fun as a person that was your perfect idea of sexy and alsom at sex. How ever if that person died in a reck after, you might care and be sad but if it were the person you loved and cared for you would be crushed and afected for life. thats love the later is lust. Lust is always fun and entertaining but love is much harder to find and very speical.

Even if you don't plan on having sex before marriage, completely ruling it out seems like unnecessarily closing doors. There was a time that I wasn't having sex with people I was dating. In retrospect... I could have potentially had a better relationship with at least one of these people if I DID have sex at that time. I would recommend sex. Good times. Someone who loves you for who you are, will understand if you've already had sex.

maybe. i say it a person choice and no one can truthfully answer this question until they are married

Some tired(when I was so young and even I don't know that why these crazy people were behaving like that way and tried to trick on me but I never ever gave a chance to them. NO, TILL I got 22YEARS OLD and AFTER got MARRIED and having two teenage boys now. In some religions, people should not have sex till they get marry. But now,most of the things are changed a lot.

I am not seeking it but it is possiblity that I will.

I belive that you should wate to have sex without a condom intell marriage. The most special thang that you can do with another person is to make a baby, Sex itsself is not special its the posable product of the sex thats special. Sex with a condom is still sex however because you are not realing tuching each other,the condom is, and no body fluids are being exchanged it realy isent much more then masterbation.

It's depends on the person (upbringings, culture, religion, etc.) But for me, the answer is "Of course!" That's a big part of intimate relationship to me, and I don't think I have a courage to marry someone without knowing that there is a good sexual chemistry. Oh and it's fun and so romantic with right person.

I had sex with my husband before marriage.But I just knew we would be together. I dont recommend it, I tell people to hold off if they can.

Not for me.

Untill I got married(22 years old) I never ever had sex with anybody.
