What's the big deal about having sex?
There are a ton of reasons why it is best to keep all sexual activity inside the boundaries of a committed marriage but let's just take three:
- There's always the possibility of having to deal with an unexpected pregnancy. After all, they ARE reproductive organs, and any person that you have sex with could possibly be the person you create a new life with. Is this really the person you want as the parent of your child?
- There is the very real danger of sexually transmitted infections and diseases, even if you "don't go all the way." They can change your life - or even end it. They can take away your ability to have a child when you want to and leave you with physical and emotional pain.
- Then there are the emotional consequences. Check out this insightful article about the emotional dangers of premarital sex. Contrary to what people might tell you, what you do today does affect your tomorrows. Sex is a very personal experience that establishes an emotional and brain-chemical-bond between two people! Seriously, who knew?!
Before making the decision to become (or continue being) sexually active, consider this: What does sex mean in your life? Is it one person using another to get their needs met? Or is it an intimate physical, emotional, and spiritual connection between two people who have pledged to share their lives together? Anyone can have sex. It takes trust, respect, and a lifetime commitment to make love. Why settle for less?
