| Soccer, you asked how and why you should save sex for marraige.
How? That isn't tough. You practice some self-discipline. You recognize that you control your body and aren't driven solely by instinct.
Why? There are a number or reasons.
One-Even with condemns, a child could be born into a rather unstable situation, unless you decide to stay together for the child's sake.
Two-Condemns offer basically no protection from STDs, only childbirth. Having sex befotre marraige is more likely to spread STDs, beacsue you have to have certain tests to get married. There is no such requirement for the guy or girl you choose to sleep with outside of marraige.
Three-As I have said before, sex has strong emotional and psycological effects on those involved. Unless I am mistaken, that is part of the reason it is so alluring. Playing with, or disregarding emotions is simply foolish. Ignoring emotions of others and yourself causes so many problems these days.
I can ask an alternate question. Why not wait until marraige? Why is it such a big deal to save virginity for someone that you plan to be with for a long time? Doesn't that make your bond with that person stronger if they know you saved yourself for them?
I see this as the danger of porn. Sex is treated as if there is no effect other than the physical pleasure you recieve. The way we promote sex today is similar to the way we used to promote cigarettes in the past. Cigarettes use to be the cool thing. All sorts of commericials showed the "hip" people smoking. The negative effect were never mentioned. The same is true of sex and porn today. Porn and our society would have us think we are cool if we get action all the time, especially if it is with different people. But the dangers are almost never mentioned. |
