I decided to tackle pre-marital sex instead of other “striking” topics such as Teenage Pregnancy, Abortion and Teenage Marriage because it is known that none of those would have ever occurred if the problem of having pre-marital sex was avoided. Thus, I could rationalize that pre-marital sex is a teenager’s instant ticket in ruining her life (Yes, you heard it right, I said “her” because I’ve known men who successfully broke themselves away from the misfortune leaving their girlfriend a teenage-single parent.) because Spiritually: it is a sin, Socially: it is an embarrassment and Romantically: a turn-off. Engaging in pre-marital sex also signals poor upbringing and a huge disgrace for the family.
It is known to man alone that mating with someone who is not your partner is a wrong doing and is only done by mere animals. Then, God made a law stating that whoever commits adultery (or by just barely looking at someone who’s not your husband/wife with lustful eyes) is subjected to judgment. Therefore, regardless of your age, having sex before marriage is basically committing a sin not only to your family but also to God, the Supreme Being.
Sex before marriage is also looked down by society. The preggers look will never be a trend, especially without an H-H-W-W-ing hubby. People will take you as a poor decision maker, hasty and unclean. Not only that the given impressions kill you but the exaggerating gossiping is worse. Neighbors would do anything to get the scoop and your family will be a laughingstock. Whatever the joys of falling in love you may have felt there, I’m telling you: it’s not worth it.
Being more experienced than the guy in terms of sexual experience also handicaps you in finding your life partner. Guys always want to be your “first”. Though westernization through various media is to blame for those sexual promiscuous adolescent, the choice of keeping your virginity is still in your hands. Nowadays, saving your virginity to that one special guy who you would be spending all your life with is rather shameful but isn’t that supposed to be your badge of honor? As one of my closest friends told me “Your virginity is the only thing that you could proudly offer to your husband during your wedding night.” Avoiding early sex is also being considerate to your health and for the person you love.
I believe I’ve made my point clear and I hope that young girls like me would take a second look back on what to lose over a single unripe moment. Intimate moments such as this should be made with someone who you are bound with by God. And, of course, I don’t take ‘safe sex’ as an excusable answer. Sex is sex. You may get clean sex but the moralities that go with it are stained. What is the body to protect to when the heart itself is rotting? I’ve read a lot of articles through the Internet that people are starting to disregard this sensitive matter, calling it a contemporary movement. Well, it is not. We got the liberty that we wanted and had expressed ourselves clearly but is sexual intercourse an another way to tell people that you’re in command of yourself when you’re pretty much giving in from nightly pleasures? I've provided you the factors that would affect you on your downfall to sin, though you should have seen them coming - all that gossiping, disgrace from religion, romantic mishaps and humiliation. Who wants pre-marital sex, anyone?
