What are YOUR reasons for not having s*x until you're married?

Question

Please also state your age, gender (if it isn't like duh from your name or avatar), and religion, if you have one.

Answer 1

i just don't wanna go through the nine months when I'm still in school. i don't want to be a parent yet. i still want to make the best of my life. and i think s*x before marriage is stupid. no one thinks of the consequences clearly.

I'm 14 and a female

Answer 2

13

Female

1. I really dont want to have the burdon of having a baby to take care of during my teen years, which ill only have once.

2. if i ever got prego, and had to have adoption/abortion, i could never handle it, i mean me and some stupid guy made the baby we need to keep it.

3. i am just not ready.

4.that would bring a lot of s**+.t into my life. i need to take care of myself in MY teen years and when im an ADULT and MARRIED, happy then i can have s*x.

5. s*x is something i think that you should do when you REALLY love someone, so that even if you accdentially get prego, you KNOW that the person you did it with will be with you to raise it.

6. there was an article in cosmo girl about it. makes it seem really bad.

im buddist.

I would probably get recanatied into like a freggin rat if i did that.

Answer 3

I am 15 (girl) and I am not having s*x until marriage.  I believe that you should give yourself to one person, and only be with one person.  I am a Christian, and my Christian faith is what these thoughts are based on.  

Answer 4

Well, when I was in high school, I was a very devout Baptist, and my boyfriend (future fiance and future husband of 20 years) both went to the same church - Sunday, youth choir, BYF, Wednesday service, etc.  When we were seniors, we decided to make love - we were engaged at that point and knew we were going to be married in a little over a year, so (to us) that was the same kind of committment as having a wedding ceremony.  We made love, and then we both immediately felt guilty about it.  We didn't quit, of course, but we felt constant guilt.  When I became about 25 or so, I realized that having s*x is NOT a sin; it's a natural part of being in love.  I've never regretted having s*x before we got married; I've only regretted that I was made to feel guilty about it because of my religious background.  In my opinion, s*x before marriage is okay as long as both are of legal age, both are ready, protection is used, and there is no guilt afterward.  It's not "dirty" or unnatural.  I wish I had known that back then.  I will say, however, that I've only had s*x with two men - and I married both of them!

Answer 5

I'm 15 and not waiting for marriage. I am not planning on having s*x till I'm 16 or 17 though.

male 16 Christian

Answer 9

14, female, Lutheran

I am too young too have a baby, and wayyy too young to even have s*x. I believe in saving myself for that one right guy and wait until I'm married, it makes it all worth while. My religion takes part in some of this decision, but mostly it's because I respect myself and I'm not ready! There is no doubt in my mind that I am going to wait until I'm married. Besides it is physically harder to have a baby at a young age. You notice how women's hips are wider, well it's so she can have a baby, and your body is not fully develeped, and your hips (so it is easier for the baby to come out) aren't fully developed until you are an adult.  

Answer 10

i would definatly want to sleep with a virgin on my wedding night

i could state my age but would i be telling the truth?  im not religous

Answer 11

28, female, Christian

A good part of my reason is because of my beliefs. Also, abstaining from s*x means not having to worry about an unwanted pregnancy or STDs. I used to want to get married and have kids, but I changed my mind. If I get married I can have s*x. If not, fine, no s*x. Either way I'm cool with that.  

Answer 12

ok i know this if for the girls who are waiting till marriage.

but i just wanna add that i've had s*x with my boyfriend. and we plan on getting married. and we're insane careful about things so we dont end up with a baby. we do plan on getting married within the next two years=]

he's my first my first true love and hopefully my only one. and honestly the way i see it. is i lost my virginity to him. to a guy i'm madly in love with and if in the long run we dont get married i'm fine with that. because i shared that special moment with someone i truly was in love with at the time. so why regret it?

before i met him though i really thought i was gunna wait till marriage. but that changed when i met him

we've been dating for 13 1/2 months and i couldnt be any happier

BUT i have all the respect for girls who are waiting till marriage. its a good thing=]

Answer 13

For me, it doesn't have anything to do with God.

I respect myself, and my body, and I'm not willing to give myself up to any old boy who comes around.

My virginity is something that I take very seriously, and i think that my husband will respect me a lot more if he knows I waited for him.

Also, I don't really care to be a real life version of Juno.

And no STD's.

Answer 16

Age:13

Gender: Female

It is wayyy more special that way:) i dont believe in s*x b4 marrage

i respect myself, and my body and i am not gonna give it to any guy

Answer 17

I am 15.

There are several reasons:

1. I don't feel that I would be emotionally mature yet.  

2. I am saving myself for one person.  The guy I decide to marry.

3. I want to make it special with the one guy that is right for me.

s*x is something you have to respect.  God gave us the ability to make life. Going around and having s*x with guys before your married is very disrespectful.  

Answer 18

13 female christian. it's in the bible don't do it

Answer 19

I am 14 and Greek Orthodox.

I don't feel like I NEED to stay a virgin until marriage, but I want to. I mean if I am in a relationship with someone for 6 years, maybe I would do it with him... But I don't want to be another one of those S****y girls who have s*x...

I also think it's good to experience something like s*x with someone you really love and want to spend the rest of your life with!  

Answer 20

1. I think God wants me to save myself for my future husband.

Answer 23

I don't want to get pregnant before I'm done with high school and college, and I don't trust condoms and birth control. I'm not necessarily waiting till I'm married, just until I'm ready for a baby(and when the guy is too).

Answer 24

18, female, catholic.

the reasons is becasue :

im not a s**t

I 'm waiting for the right guy (i believe there is somone for everyone)

My Virginity is serious/ important to me ( you only have one why not give it to the right person?)

etc...

Answer 25

I'm 16 and Christian...

MY REASONS:

1. I have made a commitment to God, my parents, and to myself to remain abstinent until married.

2. I don't want to get pregnant.

3. I don't want an STD. Especially Herpes and HIV/AIDS cause you can't get rid of them.

4. I respect my body...I won't let anyone touch me unless I say so.

5. I don't want to become another statistic.

6. To me, virginity is very important. I rather wait and give it to my husband, than regret losing it to a guy who just wanted to use me.

7. It can cause emotional and social problems with not only your friends, but your family, too.

8. I'm not ready for it yet. During our teenage years, we experience a lot of emotions. To me, it could be love. To him...it could be lust. I want a man who is truly committed to me, will respect my morals and my body, and will wait for me.

Answer 26

13 years old.

I am a girl (duh).

I am a Christian.

I want to wait until I am married to lose my virginity because I believe that s*x is shared between two people who love each other and have made the commitment for life.  In the bible it states that it is a sin to have premarital s*x, and I want to show God that I respect His laws, and I want to respect my own body.  When having s*x there is always the risk of becoming pregnant, and I would rather have a baby with a loving, supporting husband, than a boyfriend who gets scared, breaks up with me, and leaves me to raise a child as an single mother.  I would want the baby to be loved and respected and cared for by the father, and that will usually only happen when married.
