I can't sit here and say that I waited till I got married to have sex, I can't say that up until a few days ago I wasn't have sex, I can't say that the choice my fiancee and I made to wait till we are married to have sex again will stay strong, but we are going to certainly try.
I was driving home from the movies last night and we had 97.1 on the radio. On Sunday nights they have this thing called Girl Talk and of course Andrea wanted to listen to it. So this woman came on and told about how she had gotten HPV from someone she trusted the most and how she is now alone because when ever she tells a guy about it they all run for this hills.
It struck me then in a profound way why God wants us to wait till marriage to have sex. I would say up until this very moment I never did understand why God would want us to wait for something that both people can enjoy together and share etc....
Then it hit me. I looked at the numbers of teen mothers, the number of diseases that spread through sexual contact, the emotional problems people can get from bad experiences, etc....all of these things are linked together through sex. AIDS, HPV, Herpes all of these diseases are spreading quickly because people have multiple partners. I asked myself "If everyone wait till they were married would these things spread like they are." And the answer i came up with is no they wouldn't.
Maybe God isn't putting something like sex in front of us and teasing us with it and then telling us no. Maybe God in His wisdom knows the consquences of unwanted pregnancy and disease and realized that something like sex should be kept for inside marriage.
Anyway that is just something that I realized last night.

I see what you're saying. I've seen a lot of bad things happen to people in the name of sex...for instance, my neighbour got pregnant and the guy ran like the wind. There was no commitment between the two of them before they had the sex...so once the child came the guy took the easy way out. We've all heard stories like this time and time again. Even if you're safe, use a condom, etc. bad shit can happen.

The audience boos him.
Mcbane: Ahh, maybe you are all homersexuals.
Makes sesnse to me, Another explanation I see is similar to the jewish not eating pork thing. In the old testement, they didn't have condoms, birth control, etc. If you had sex, she got pregnant or you both got diseases, same thing with pork, tricanosis was rampant, don't eat pork and it won't happen to you. My views on sex is not neccesarily marriage but at least a commited relationship, whatever works for you, just something I thought about
They say I need to be more in touch with my feminine side, to tell you the truth if I had a feminine side I'd be touching it all the time
When you say God, you mean why the bible, right?

No. I guess I should have been a little more clear in my post. Over the last few weeks I have been praying about this whole sex before marriage issue. After all people can interpret the bible differently. I wanted to know if it was okay and if not why. In the end that was my answer.

I've never understood praying. What exactly happens in your prayers?

People always ask me that. Truth be told up until a few years ago I thought praying was just reptative nonsense. My pastor said "God just wants to be a part of your life. Talk to him like you would a friend." So I do that. On the way to the train in the morning and on the way back from the train at night I talk to God about my day, the things I enjoyed about it and then my problems. If they seem to much I will ask him to help me out.
Sometimes I will get an answer and sometimes I won't get one right away. The trick I have found is keeping an open mind cause sometimes the answer is no.

What do you mean by an answer? Like you get a realization?

Sometimes it will be a realization, sometimes someone will say something to me, sometimes I will read it in a magazine, sometimes I will hear it in my head (that was the case when I was praying as to whether or not the woman I am going to marry was the woman for me). It all depends really.
If I had to venture a guess I would say He chooses the way that will get my attention.

Hmmm...that's interesting. I use to meditate when I felt confused or overwhelmed by something. Being in a meditative state helps you calm down a lot and then I could think more straight. It might be the same sort deal. Maybe through prayer you're able to calm down and think more straight or something? I dunno. Interesting, nevertheless.

I can see where you might be coming with this but the fact is sometimes I don't always get the answer when I am actually praying. Sometimes I get the answer when I am getting off the metro in the morning, or when I am sitting at work, or when I am at the gym, or where ever. I had thought I would get my answers right away but in the case of this sex deal it only came after weeks of praying and it actually came out of her mouth to me. It was kind of weird.

Hmph. And this realization or sudden enlightenment must be the product of 'god' rather than a rational epiphany of the physical conscience mind? I don't recall God ever telling us not to have sex before marriage, but it does say it in that book Christians read.

In my case, I think meditation helps me calm down and think more straight about things...whenever you're angry or full of emotions that's the worse time to sit down and come to a logical solution to a problem in your life.
