- I don't think it's a good thing. It affects [you] psychologically especially, when you eventually get married.

Not if it's Safe
- Waiting till marriage is so archaeic and was only put in place because a woman was taught that she should be "pure" for her husband and it was a way to get "unsullied" goods if you were a man. Nowadays, you should be in love with your partner, respect and trust him. Together you can decide if and when the time is right to have sex. It's not a sin and you will not lose trust or honesty. At the age of 21, I lost my virginity to my boyfriend and I could not be happier with my decision. We are both greatly in love and he respected me so much he told me he would wait until I was ready and never pressured me into doing anything I wasn't comfortable with. You should wait until you find that person.

Up to you, but think about it
- Although it’s 2009, and people are far more liberal these days and the majority of people experience pre-marital sex, I still have some issues about having sex before I am married. I was raised in a liberally Jewish home by my mother, and have always had respect for peoples faiths and sexuality and their ability to express both. I understand that not everyone believes what I believe, nor practices what I practice. Although most of my siblings have all had sex, and aren’t married, and my mother never discussed sex with me nor told me to wait. Through watching students at my elementary and high school, with the consequences, social and physical of having sex too young I taught myself that it wasn’t something that I wanted. At the age of 17 I joined The Planned Parenthood Teen Council where we went to schools and taught sexuality. It only reinforced that I am wanted to wait. I’ll be 22 in November and I am still waiting and very happy with my decision.

Yes, it is.
- Sex is altogether wrong before marriage, first religiously speaking it is strictly forbiden and considered one of the big sins. secondly losing trust and honesty springs from it, and in some communities it degrades dignity and honor.
