CreepyCrawler Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 there are so many more wonderful things that a teen can be doing with their lives besides sex, and none of them can give you an STD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wait wait wait until you're married. I wish I had. If you don't wait, making that one mistake can change your life forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Most teens-and older people too-think that once you have sex once, then you've totally fallen and having more sex is no big deal. It's a great thing to wait and if you can remain a virgin until marriage, it's totally awesome. But if you do mess up, trust in God and ask Him to give you a second virginity because He really can. And if you are a virgin and find yourself in a situation where you may end up marrying a person who isn't a virgin, love that person with all your heart and be thankful and rejoice in the fact that God has chosen to deliver him or her away from the sin and into your hands. And this applies to more than just regular sex. Other sexual sins can be far more damaging to ones mind and soul than sex. But even God can wash those sins away. People need to hear that because I believe that so many kids, especially girls, want to get out of the miserable depth that is serial premarital sexual relationships.

[/quote] I think it's high time for the male virgins to rise up just like the Greek widows did in the Acts of the Apostles and complain about being neglected. The church met the needs then, why can't the needs be met now?? It's just a matter of people of faith being willing to do right by the people who have been overlooked. Do people of faith have it in them or not to do what is right???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame them though. Society these days teaches sex before marriage is normal, healthy and most of all fun. They don't know. I suppose I'd be willing to marry any chick who's willing to wait, but even that's rare these days. I don't even know if I can wait myself. [/quote] All the more reason to push for chastity. Marrying someone who is not a virgin is fine...if he or she is penitant and doesn't still think premarital sex is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

let_go_let_God Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Also, what about society's impact on teenagers decsions to have premarital sex. I just heard a fact at Stubie that if you watch MTV for an hour, you are more likely to have premarital sex. Also there's a radio show/music that is on during the weekend that most of the advertisements that are on it are trojan condom commercials. It is enough to make me sick.

[/quote] Dude, I can totally believe that. Sometimes I'll not watch TV for a week or so, spend a lot of time praying, and feel holy with very few temptations coming to mind. Then I'll watch a little bit of secular TV and I'll feel dirty and get the temptations back. You're right that it isn't just the shows, but also the commercials. You can see advertisements that have beautiful women in them and they get the women to have a seductive look on their faces. They may not be dressed all that immodestly-sometimes they are though. I really realize now how often sex is thrown in front of us and in what a casual manner it is done. If it weren't for EWTN, Food Network, Fox News, ESPN (during college b-ball and football season), and Sci-Fi, I wouldn't want cable in my house.

MichaelFilo Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Teen sex is wrong, and some people agree with me about that in my school, they say they'll wait until they are 18 to have sex ( It's hard to show them that this is really not a big improvement :angry: ). It's super hard to tell people that chastity for life is an option, which is a good way of looking at how sex affects our society and how it gets into people's mind, regardless of if theyn otice or not. On the other note, my 16 year old cousin( I'm arabic so anyone who is a friend or relative of the family around my age is some how known as "my cousin" ) got married. So, there are cases when it's within marriage, though I'd have to be ignorant to say that it's mostly ourside of marriage that it occurs.

Hermione Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Let me provide an archaic answer to this: The structure of the family is basically straightforward: People should get married only because they want to have kids, otherwise, what's the point of it? Wanting to spend a lifetime together is possible without marriage (and of course, without sex), so unless you're extremely possessive (or horny), children is the reason for this sacrament to exist. With this sacrament, the church is placing a law for a man and a woman (together) to devote the rest of their lives to bringing up future generations of the Catholic church, and should do so fully educated in the religion, so that they can pass their knowledge down. In other words, parents now live "for their children" in that way, so divorce in this case is no longer an option. That having said, it's best to marry someone you know you'd be able to stand for the rest of your life, in order to avoid the possibility of divorce. Similarly, having the same point of view helps, and a lot of the time, we'd be attracted to those who *do* think the same way as we do, and a lot of the time, we are attracted enough to want to sleep with them. Coincidence? And sex is pleasurable, because, hey, if you need someone to squeeze out a 13" x 6" human being from themselves a couple of months down the road while in immeasurable pain, it better be worth something. Thus, is the rationale. However, due to the perversion of the word "liberty" that stems, mainly from the French Revolution of 1779, and also due to the Jeremy Bentham interpretation of utilitarianism (i.e. what's good is what feels good to people; "feeling good" is undefined; people tend to see it as "whatever pleases them"), people uneducated in the motives of the laws of the church go on to preach these theories to uneducated people who, without doing proper studying, embrace them wholeheartedly because of... well a lot of things I guess... oppression, poverty, abuse...

jasJis Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Consider the life of the child who may be born. Let's say you get pregnant, and the Dad deserts you. How hard is it going to be for a single mom to raise a child? How tough is it going to be for the child to grow up with 1 parent? Do you have 1 parent? Is it tougher or easier? Do you wish you had two loving parents? Then there's all the complications of having a 'father' involved in your life and the life of your child for the next 20 years? Is the guy somebody you want to deal with for that amount of time? You may not have a choice in the matter. If your a guy, do you want that girl to have custody and raise your flesh and blood? Is this a woman you want to deal with for the next 20 years as you try to have a relationship with your child? Can you really walk away from your own child? Would you want one of your parents to walk away? Did one of your parents abandon you? How does that feel? Don't deny your child what you would want for yourself!

Hermione Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Oh yeah... and to continue on what jasJis said... About pregnancy, abortion & homosexuality: Pre-marital sex will possibly lead to pregnancy, and there is a chance you'd end up a single parent. Then it's unfair to the kid, who should have a balanced two parents growing up. The father's role is masculine, while the mother, feminine, and these two world views are to aid the kid in having an opinion that's not one-dimensional. Same-sex parents aren't providing this same balance, even if it's a beesh-and-butch couple cos it's not a clear-enough masculine/feminine definition. Also, how are they going to teach the kid about reproduction? You need both male & female parts to educate the kid, and the lack of either will be confusing for him/her. The lack of a parent is also "unnatural" in the same way cos well, the kid was created by two, so why does only one bring him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
