    Before you answer the poll, I want you to take one step back and think very carefully. It is because the impact of this issue is very deep and very long lasting. Many social problems we have in our society are directly/indirectly caused by this issue.

    No, and there is no evidence to suggest that extramarital sex is a problem.

    Furthermore, why is it your business what people do in their spare time?

    When I stopped and thought it about, I decided that marriage is wrong.

    As a general broad statement- no. Some sex before marriage can be bad, and some can be very, very good. Some sex after marriage can be morally wrong.

    My wife and I had sex for several years before we got married. I saw nothing morally wrong about it then, nor do I now. We have been happily married about 20 years.

    You are correct, zollen.

    What do you mean by the phrase "sex before marriage"?

    Is what Bill Clinton did with Monica Lewinsky considered "sex before marriage"?

    LOL a person that comes for the caverns voted yes, that is immoral o_O.

    Sex is good. And is good always. Always that you take precautions like with anything that you do :-D

    And I will add, that whatever how you practice sex, oral, anal, vaginal or whatever :-D

    No. Having sex in a committed relationship isn't morally wrong, married or not.

    Because what people do in their spare time is against his beliefs as a busy body!

    If you don't plan on getting married, is it still sex before marriage?

    I don't have a problem with it. Not everyone wants to get married, and not everyone can legally be married.

    Having sex in an un-commited relationship is not morally wrong either (depending on your morals).

    ROFLMAO at this thread. It never fails to amaze, how on this forum everyone always comes up with a different little perspective for every single question..:-D

    OP, no.

    Does the question have a religious base?

    How does sex cause long term harm? Where do you rate drug addiction, war, corruption etc etc by comparison to the great harm of sex?

    Good question, Phoebe Bump.

    Bill Cosby has a lot to say about this subject of human morality and how destructive it is to human society when babies result from sex outside of marriage and children then raise children!

    Mr. Cosby has a lot of very good ideas on this subject!

    Depends on your moral compass. As a Christian, it is wrong. The real question should be: Which moral compass results in a more healthy society?

    Are there problems associated with lax morals on sex?

    Are teenagers mature enough for sex?

    Are there problems associated with having multiple partners?

    Is having one sex partner for life in the confines of a mutual agreement healthier than any other moral code?

    Anyone who is honset would recognize that permiscuity comes with consequences. In a free country, we all have the right to decide for ourselves, but do we as a society have the right to promote the healthiest code?

    I would consider sex before marriage necessary.

    Unless you want to risk marrying someone who can't satisfy you, you should try before you buy, so to speak.

    Otherwise, you're basically just being an uptight moron.

    If God exists, I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) if you (*)(*)(*)(*) before you marry.

    When it's done for the wrong reason - which is always the case outside of wedlock - it produces the kind of man you love to hate.

    Whether that constituttes harm I leave for you to figure out.

    The basic function of sex is to procreate. Having sex for any other reason runs the risk of creating an unwanted life and responsibility.

    To claim that individuals are entitled to please themselves without reguard to consequences and another humans fate, is childish, irresponsible and extremely selfish. It is the degredation of humanity. Worst of all is the slaughter of innocence for these immoral desires.

    This is just another example of a society that is so selfish and morally bankrupt.

    Yeah, premarital sex is a problem. But so is divorce when there are kids in the mix. And we KNOW divorce ain't going anywhere.

    A secular one.
    Yes there are also problems associated with strict morals on sex.
    It varies from teenager depending on their education and social understanding. There are adults not mature enough for sex.
    Yes there one does not have to be married to have few or even one partner. Also protection can be use to avoid problems.
    No why would marriage be healthier often single men who aren't fathers are least stress avoiding many health problems such as high blood pressure.

    Not if you get a vasectomy, or if you're infertile.

    They're not "entitled", they're free to make mistakes. That's part of living in a free society. The consequences manifest naturally.

    We're selfish, but then again, that's the nature of humanity.

    As for "morally bankrupt", that's entirely subjective.

    Correct. The false and anti-human view that sex before marriage is morally wrong leads a gullible and intellectually stunted few to get married without having experienced sex with their partners or anyone else. This often results in a bad and unsatisfying sex life, an unhappy marriage, chronic infidelity, a miserable life, divorce, spouse abuse, unhappy and maladjusted children of unhappy parents, etc.

    To marry someone without having had sex with them is just deeply stupid.

    No, this shows your lack of priority on what constitutes happiness. This is how many end up with mates they cannot adapt to, they picked poor mates based on poor priorities. Just because someone is good in bed(in the beggining) does not make them good husbands/wives, fathers/mothers or providers.

    Good sex is a pretty important priority.
