Religion And 21st Century Abstinence From Sex, How Possible? by Nobody: 12:53pm On Apr 27, 2016
Is abstinence from sex and all other sexual activities before marriage as decreed in the Bible realistic and necessary?"

I came up with that because I feel the bible have made a lot of people overly hypocritical . . .I also find the rule stiffening and ridiculous. . .

It's 99.99% impossible to abstain from everything sexual before marriage, all things being equal i.e so long as he/she doesn't have some sort of disability. . .
and it doesn't have to be penetrative sex(a lot of people that squawk against premarital sex do a lot of sexual acts asides from vaginal sex so it doesn't really make sense). And since it isn't possible to completely abstain then why do people preach about it or act judgmental especially when men/women are sexual beings?

Let's look at it from an extensive view away from the constraints of religion - we are supposed to mate as soon as we hit puberty. If we were not supposed to have sex before marriage then don't you think we are supposed to hit PUBERTY only after we've gotten married or what's the essence of having a reproductive organ ready for action at 17/18 years old but kept inactive for so many years?

Different strokes for different folks. This falls under "practice what you preach". Anybody who clearly feels estranged as a result of practicing a religion that clearly speak against sex out marriage should stop adhering to the tenets of that religion.

A christian can't say he's a christian and be seen committing adultery, that's hypocrisy of the highest order.

If you feel your religion is stopping you from doing what you love to do, then do away with it. Plain and simple.

True that! Sex is a beautiful thing, a wonderful thing, anybody who's been in there may find it difficult staying out there. Its all on the hypocritical nature of most religious folks.

However, I will however say if he or she is a christian/Moslem, then they shouldn't be heard or even seen having sex, because their religion clearly speak against having sex and sexual immorality outside marriage.

Em, engaging in sex when one hits puberty might mean some aspects of paedophilia. We know some girls reach puberty at the age of 13 and even younger than 13.

Abstinence is possible to those that believe in it.

Stop trying to justify your 'weakness'.

That may be a tad extreme like throwing away the baby with the bath water although I agree its hypocritical to not practise what you preach

Values I learned as a young boy. These values I never threw away as I became a man. You have to accept that these moral values are for your own benefit too.

Yes it doesn't. That's why I believe religion should be thrown in the trash. Parenting, that is good parenting has nothing to do with religious doctrine.

Science and civilization has turned the world upside down, making us believe that abstainance frm sex is impossible, bt that is wrong because the failed to let people knw that the disadvantages of pre-marital sex far outways the advanges, hope the world will wake up one day.
Re: Religion And 21st Century Abstinence From Sex, How Possible? by Nobody: 5:28pm On Apr 27, 2016
It is almost 99.99% impossible to completely abstain from sex(not necessarily penetrative sex) as the OP opined so why is the Nigerian society so judgemental? an unmarried 20 year old lady cannot even mention the word 'sex' in front of her mother. . .she would be told to shut up, called a whöre & sometimes even get beaten by her folks. . .

why are the lot(women especially) who have premarital sex looked at with scorn and labelled as wayward? if an unmarried 21 or 22 year old is having consensual sex and uses prophylactics to minimize the chances of contracting STD or unwanted pregnancy, i don't see why it should be a big issue. . .i think it is backward!!!

men/women are sexual beings and should be accorded leeway to enjoy their sexuality to the fullest without fear of being blackballed by society(especially the females) . . .sex is part and parcel of us. . .

i can't even find a passage in the bible that outrightly condemns premarital sëx. point one out from the Old Testament!

were Joseph and Mary married when they were cohabiting or when they travelled to Bethlehem together? answer is no. so is it right to cohabit with the opposite sex? and are you trying to say that you didn't have a shadow of doubt when you read the Church's dogma that made it clear that Joseph and Mary never slept together? really?

a man with blood running in his veins lives under the same roof with a beautiful young woman whom he loves and they never had sex? i find that hard to believe!

let it also be known that the precepts of the Bible is not 100% applicable to the modern day society. . .

in the days of yore(lemme use the Hebrew society as exempli grata in this scenario), the males didn't have to wait until 25 or 26 to get married. . .women didn't get married at 24 or 27. . . .they usually got married as teenagers and so didn't have sexual temptations to battle with on a quotidian basis. . . .

you expect me to keep my John Thomas vouchsafed behind my zipper and yet every direction i turn it's an enticing boôty i see or some skimpily dressed damsel. . . .

i think premarital sex also helps in determining compatibility in marriage. .. . . .
can you buy a car without testing it?
that's why we hear a lot of complaints from women about their husbands not satisfying them on bed. . . .the husbands also complain about their wives' steering approach towards sex, which in most cases causes them to opt for better options outside their matrimonial homes. . . .if they had consummated their love before agreeing to marriage they would have known whether they were sexually compatible or not. . .

Hmmmm nice thread skarlett.

But sometimes i can't help but question God even though i'm not gonna get an answer,
Why give us the knowledge of something you've warned us to abstain from till marriage?

Sex is just something you'll find hard to live without especially when you've tried it before sad it would have been much better if we (humans) are ignorant of sex till marriage.
But that not withstanding, we can do without sex if we mean it, it takes the grace of God and sincere determination though.
