i think you all wastin time for nothin....Before marriage you cant do sex...or anythin else...if you think so..pls have a look Quran... and HZ Lut and HZ Nuh (a.s) phophet Life...god gave them punishment coz of sex (gay ,Homosexual,young girl sex with hisdad ,old man ,etc)

   I belive in god...whtvr he said we should follow...otherwise no matter what  u guys say is nonsen about this topic....

I hate to disappoint you, but anyone (!) CAN have sex, married or not. That you don´t WANT to have it because of your (religious) beliefs, is something else. Like I don´t force you to have sex before you are married, you cannot force me (and others) not to have it. BTW I had sex before marriage, during my 12 year marriage and after my divorce and I can tell you it feels the same! 

People absolutely CAN have sex before marriage, it´s just that some religions say it is wrong to do so.  Yet, how many people have an arranged or forced marriage where sex is not even enjoyable for either of them, yet they are supposed to procreate? I think that if two people love each other, they shouldn´t have to be married in order to express that love physcially, but I don´t condemn anyone who doesn´t agree with me.

There are a lot of different versions of what God said - the Bible, Quran, Tora. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all believe in the same God and all say that we should not have sex before marriage. Do you think all the people who don´t follow this advice will go to hell?

 Yes isLam is way of Life ...thts why i try to stay away from bad things...if not why we have religion?god create us fo what? you just do what you want to do what your feeling say...but i do what god ask me to do...tha s the reasong between us....look around around the world...sex is everywhere now...homosexualty...lesbian gay everywhere...but look at the past...Hz Lout Hz Nouh...their people also got punishment coz of what you sayin to me now...true is alwys hurt some1 but nobdy want to belive...

yes but pls people chngd the holly books bfre ..thts why god sent us Quran .. only god knows  where we will go...

 I don´t believe in (a) god, what now?

Alameda, sure Christianity advocates sex for married people only - so does Islam and Judaism. No different attitudes here, the only one being that in Catholicism priests cannot marry (but they can in other Christian denominations).

You say Christianity doesn´t allow pleasure, that´s partially true, of course in the past they were strict about it, nowadays nobody preaches that in church Still, they´re backward in their attitude to contraception. In Islam people can enjoy sex? Sure, especially when you´re forced to marry an old pervert at 12. Of course I agree that Islam encourages sexual pleasure for men, as it lets them have 3 wives. I don´t think there´s a religion more for men than Islam

European or, in general, western attitude to sex comes from giving up Christianity as moral authority. Those behaviours show that human being can function normally providing for their needs in a reasonable way without being terrorised with the notion of hell. I believe society is happier and more fulfilled once religion is back where it should be - in people´s hearts. This way those who want to follow Christian teachings are free to do it and those who don´t are not suffering from repercussions. Isn´t that ideal? You individually choose whther or not virginity is important to you and it´s only up to you if you marry to have sex or do it without it. I´m sure Islamic countries would be the same if religion wasn´t so dominant. For now it´s only the men who benefit from sex - especially with tourists . It is sad that a man who commits a sin having sex with before marriage demands his wife to be a virgin.I hope women will grow stronger in the east and fight male dominance. For now I can only feel sorry for them.

Although I am an atheist so far from advocating Christianity, I wonder why you see almost non-existent in public life religion as something that limits people and, at the same time, find one of the strongest religions, most limiting human rights (Islam) as right. Something doesn´t add up here...

If you believe your God will frown upon you if you have sex before marriage, then don´t do it - it is as simple as that. But don´t tell me what to do as for me your God is as real as Tooth Fairy so I don´t understand why I should follow his teachings...(and, speaking of God, I speak of all religions). There is law (and law should be based on inter-human relations, empathy, justice and freedom not ancient scrolls that outdated a long time ago) to obey. In some areas law and religion overlap which is understandable but law prevents only those acts whose effect is something more than "you´ll go to hell"

  then who created you?  u came out from yourmom ...who created yourmom? sun? moon?sea?or anythin else? you saying somethin that you belive ..but there is no prof ..but i Have...u just givin up from everythin coz of ursexual enjoymnt? thts why at many countries now   many young ladies got son or doughter but no dady...why?coz SEX...coz of a few mnute enjoyment...

Bebeq, great - if you don´t want to have sex before marriage, then don´t. We don´t have a problem with that

But not everybody believes in God so you can only speak for yourself. Others CAN and DO have sex
