Ethically incorrect? Certainly not. Ethically incorrect to sleep with someone you don't really care about? Maybe. Religiously incorrect, now? Yes, it is, in many. I figure, society has functioned pretty well with premarital sex being basically assumed, and the only flaw society has is not teaching teens (and sometimes preteens) responsibility and safety.

Have sex, be safe. That's my opinion.

yes not only ethically but socially too sex is just a way to express ur love to som1 and u cant get engaged in love with more than 1 person its not logical, how can u love more than one people t at the same time or in the same life

Generally. it's a religious issue, not an ethical issue. However, from an ethical standpoint if you are too young and would not be able to support a family, you shouldn't be having sex. Even if you are older and couldn't support a family, you shouldn't be having sex.

The way I see it, the whole things started religiously and was supported by societal beliefs since birth control wasn't possible back then. As science has evolved to lend 99.9% chance of not having a child and people are falling away from religious roots...we start seeing people having no issues with premarital sex because it's safe and they don't subscribe to a religious belief. I still feel it is wrong because no method is 100% and there sure are a lot of fatherless children out there. If people would wait till marriage, that wouldn't be a problem but that's not the society we live in today.

Well, I think the concept of virginity at marriage was, I have read, encouraged by the Romans (or so???) to make sure that the offspring of a union where the males for property inheritance. This bought about the whole concept of chasity (for the woman - never the man!). I think that today we can dispense with that, as DNA testing can provide the correct parentage if necessary if inheritance issues are important. To me the most important thing about a marriage is the two people involved making a public committment to do their best to be "as one" so to speak. It shouldne't matter who has slept with whom before marriage it should be about who you sleep with after marriage. I think that the only judges involved should be the two people marrying. It is up to them how they deal with each other's past behaviour and if there were any problems then they shouldn't be marrying each other. In this respect I think that society is the problem. I feel that at times our 'western' society is very immature and has become very invasive of a person's private life and affairs.

1) "Almost everyone gets married having a previous sexual experience." could be a fact in most western societies. "It's ethically incorrect to lose your virginity before marriage." is a statement. Its validity depends on your ethics or on you system of beliefs. For me (and many others), it is not valid. However, many Abrahamic religions condemn pre-marital sex, as they also condemn extra-marital sex, homosexual sex, and partly contraception. For instance: "The Catechism of the Catholic Church indicates that sexual relationships in marriage as a way of imitating in the flesh the Creator's generosity and fecundity and lists fornication as one of the "Offenses Against Chastity" and calls it "an intrinsically and gravely disordered action" because "use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose."

And the laws rarely condemn pre-marital or extra-marital sex: "Fornication, or simple fornication, is a term which refers to voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other." "Fornication is dealt with differently in various religions, societies and cultures." "The laws on fornication have historically been tied with religion and the legal and political traditions within the particular jurisdiction. In the common law countries (England, USA, Canada, Australia, etc.), the Courts were never interested in punishing subjects for purely private moral deviations - even incest - although sodomy was an exception. What laws did exist were purely statutory. In many other countries, however, there have been attempts to secularize constitutions, and laws differ greatly from country to country. Most Western countries and some secular Muslim countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan have no laws against fornication if both parties are above the age of consent." "Premarital sexual relations were viewed as a matter of private morality, and, as such, were never viewed as criminal offenses against the common law. This legal position was inherited by the United States from Britain. Later, some jurisdictions, a total of 16 in the Southern and Eastern United States, as well as the State of Wisconsin, passed statutes creating the offense of "fornication" that prohibited (vaginal) sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons of the opposite sex. Most of these laws either were repealed, were not enforced, or were struck down by the courts in several States as being odious to their state Constitutions." "In Utah, any unmarried person who voluntarily engages in sexual intercourse with another is guilty of fornication, which is a class B misdemeanor."

You can't ask people to rate your questions and answers. You can also not offer points. Sorry :( Your question is valid, so I'll let it slide, but somebody else may flag it. Just don't do this in the future please. Thanks :)
