I suppose I'm a bit more of the belief that people should be smarter, regardless of how they are. I'm a big believer in doing things yourself, morals and values included. Regardless of how people would act if they were left up to their own devices, I think that most would probably do just as they do, since that's exactly how people are. Everyday, people are forced to make their own moral decisions, shaped and influenced by the people around them and their parents. In the end, it's about thinking for oneself rather than believing something is wrong simply because someone tells you it is wrong. Just so that we don't lead this topic any more astray, please redirect this discussion to one of the following threads, which are more relevant: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=2570640http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=2921797http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=5716165

I was a virgin until I got married. I think it's the way it should always be.

I ignore those who talk about how sex is "cool" and "okay". Sex is NOT okay if you're not married, in my opinion. Not to offend anyone who may have had premarital sex or anything.
I'm mostly thinking of the consequences of such decisions.
There are the emotional scars and the possiblity of obtaining STD's, but I won't go into detail with this subject because it makes me uncomfortable. sweatdrop

The point of this subforum is to open up to discuss things in a civilized and intelligent matter. It's okay to talk about things that are uncomfortable, it helps us learn and grow.
It should be noted that people in married relationships also get emotionally scarred and STDs as well. It should also be noted that people who are unmarried don't get emotionally scarred and STDs as well.

This is not necessarily so.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-10-30-abstinence-message_x.htm
As can be seen from this, apparently society does indeed put pressure on teens. However it seems, it's to remain virgins for a long time?
As we go farther into society, we can see that while some pressure people into having sex, it's also true for people pressuring abstinence.
Statistics have apparently shown those married have most sex, but I'll need to find a direct statistic for that one.

Though I will not say that it could not happen to those who are married as well. Sex is more than a toy and truly is something that should be as it it usually done in...private.

My apologies for being unclear. I was countering Kiki Avelan's argument about emotional scars and STDs from unmarried sex. What I meant was that whether you are married or unmarried, the possibility exists that you can get emotionally scarred or get infected by an STD, therefore it is not sound logic.

Pumpkin_the_impish So here’s the topic. Why in today’s society has it become a pressured point for teenagers from thirteen up to lose their virginity? I have seen people made fun of because they have decided to or just have kept their virgin status. How right is that? So now I have to ask again, why has the shift occurred that marks virgins as the new 'whore'? i'm a 20 year old virgin, do you think i'm ashamed of that? HELL no!

I think there is no problem with being a virgin ... people make it sound like virgins are undesirable and such i think that our society in that aspect is so confused and lost

He'll always be my Well I feel it's because teenagers are idiots.
I mean no offence to anyone, I'm a teenager too, and openly dumb XD
Many of us teenagers feel the need to be like the "popular" people.
I don't know about other places, but in my school most of the "popular" girls are sluts.
They have a reputation based on their sexuality.
People hear that so-and-so isn't a virgin
and they feel the need to be like them and have sex
and think that anyone who doesn't is a loser, etc.
That's what I think is the reason.
Personally, I couldn't care less about others' actions or what they think.
Popularity is just about the least important thing ever.
My boyfriend knows that I want to stay a virgin until I'm married
and he's fine with it, that's all that matters. <3 S u p e r h e r o <3

i think it depends on the kind of community that teens live in as well as how they are educated about sex. like im a teenager myself and ive lost my virginty, though not by my choice unfortunatly...... but one of my best friends recently moved to pretty rural community, shes told me that almost everyone there our age is a virgin, its a very close community so in her new home its hard to keep a something like that a secret. almost all of her neighbors are also are quite religous, so they dont have sex until there married. but where i live barley anyone my age is still a virgin. people are made fun of that are sill virgins and most girls do look up to the sluts for some reason and want to be like them, thus becoming sluts themselves. mostly the people i know that have lost thier virginity say it partially is because of how many parties with many many drugs and lots and lots of alcohol there are here. alos our school systems teach us practically nothing about sex. and niether do the parents in our community. i think this is very unfortunate. most of the girls i know that have lost thier virginity regret it and wish they hadnt. it is quite hard though with all the peer preasure and outta control hormones at our age to resist having sex. and all the sluts can only say how amazing it was and how many guys are "in love" with them and how prude and "gay" allvirgins are. but all teen virgins got my respect for being able to keep their virginity. and i hope that schools and parents start talking to thier kids more about sex and EVERYTHING that can happen as a result of it.

Making fun of virgins just seems to be an open display of idiocy, in my opinion. Though I do not agree that virgins are "the new whores." Whores are still around, and they are still called down for being such (if that makes sense to anyone...). Virgins are just virgins. It's a country of free will, so give people the free will to be abstinent, promiscuous, or some sort of happy medium.
Because, hey, we're not all down with the whole no sex until after marriage thing. In some religions sex creates the most powerful magic possible because it puts a man and a woman towards the same goal... I go off track, sorry ^^ I'm just saying that premarital sex is not, to everyone, a damning thing.
