"Is abstinence before marriage a realistic message?" Most people are going to have sex anyway, so why bother even teaching abstinence? Many in the modern culture have declared that sexual morality is dead, that abstinence isn't realistic, but it is instead old-fashioned and outdated. Is abstinence before marriage even reasonable in today's "hook-up culture"? 1 Like 2 Shares |

OLAADEGBU: Op, this is religion section this topic is better moved to the romance section. Abstinence before marriage is the right thing to do, you don't need anyone to tell you that. Whether it's realistic or not, you don't expect anyone that is a Christian and morally upright to say it's unrealistic. You can only get contrary response from Atheists here. As for me, i say it's realistic afterall there are a lot of people practicing celibacy. 56 Likes 2 Shares |

Nobody practices abstinence before marriage. Those who claim to be abstinent, if you investigate, are often doing everything except penetration. There must be some exceptions though. 132 Likes 10 Shares |

Seun:LOL. That's usually the message they preach to fool those who want to be fooled. At times, even if one of the couple is abstaining, the other might not be. I've seen this instance countless of times. That's why I'm a staunch advocate of pre-marital sex. 15 Likes |

[b] Very simple and yet a complex question . Personally, am of the opinion that sex is so significant, so powerful and so dangerous if misused, that it requires the type of long-term commitment, deep trust and strong mutual understanding that marriage conveys,sex is an integral part of human nature. almost no one would argue that ,indiscriminate sex with no concern for the physical, social or moral consequences is a good thing. Even that's exactly what our instincts would tell us to do. Human instincts don't care about long term consequences or social sanction, but human need to. The notion that sex should only be the expression of selfess, enduring love is not supported by science,so it would be a religious convicetion you either do or don't have. The act to delay or lemme use the word ABSTINENCE is really important to develop,but can constant self denial of the fleshy desire makes human happier?. People with low sex drive ,abstinence can be on the normal side for them. Sex comes in many ways, different flavour..No youth wants to enter a marriage been ignorant of the common explorations and variations that puts them on a huge disadvantage unless they're certain they and whoever they wnats to marry will be happy with plain variation of Sex...so ABSTINENCE is just WEIRD when you start rationalizing it as anything more than an act of practical necessity, If you can abstain.. No wahala.. and if you can't, Enjoy the rides or circumstances that it birth Penetration or Non-penetration ? [/b] 16 Likes 1 Share |

OLAADEGBU:abstinence is good in some ways. Just look at the high rate of hiv/stds for example. Abstinence should be a personal thing. Your thread is sending the wrong signal to teenagers, making them believe having sex is right. Don't get me wrong, sex between adults is alright. it's one thing to have sex, and another to be faithful. Now to your question. is abstinence before marriage reasonable in today's hook up culture? Yes and no. Yes! If is a personal decision. No! Because i'd like to please myself or rather satisfy my urge that moment. Guy, we all have blood running through our veins. Is just like you are pressed but you're being restricted to ease yourself at that particular time which is bad. 8 Likes |

Seun: and I put it to you that some people are so committed to abstinence that they don't even embrace/hug each other, talk less of kissing or pre-intimacy. It's just like saying it is impossible to be great and affluent in life without been through formal education at any time in life, and that if you investigate they probably dropped out of school at some point. The fact that it seems impossible to you doesn't mean people have not totally abstained in the past even till this present terrible end time.

OLAADEGBU: You can see the little number of views and responses you have gotten since yesterday. Any born again Christian and morally upright person that reads the title will not even bother clicking it talkless of commenting, except few ones that care to correct you. Premarital sex is a sin and not allowed by God. Ofcourse it's the right thing to do, because 1. You are obeying God. 2. You save your self from the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and heart breaks. OLAADEGBU: Agnostic Christians and others who do not regard God or fear God. OLAADEGBU: Bro, it's realistic.

lilyqueen: No fore-knowledge of the person you are about to marry. Many marriage have collapsed because the wife or husband finds out that their spouse cannot satisfy them sexually. That is 1 of the disadvantage The only thing that can prevent sexual transmitted disease and unwanted pregnancy is faithfulness and mutual understanding. Human body is wired for sex 8 Likes |

It depends on what you want for yourself. If you can abstain before marriage its best, but if you can't its better you talk up with your partner. Also being faithful with that single partner is key to avoid lots of risk and what it could bring. 1 Like 1 Share |

Seun: Seun, dont say on what u dont have much knowledge on. There are a lot of ppl who do not even hug, kiss or romance talkless of sex during their courtship. Many are practising full celibacy and more will still continue. Cos the world is morally depraved shouldnt mean that we shld move castigate the right thing. 11 Likes |
