Pre-marital sex

Some say that it’s a total “NO- NO”. Some think its something to do for fun. Some
teenagers think its normal why others lack knowledge about it. Because of this topic, a question popped out of my head: Is premarital sex normal on our society or is it something compared to a mortal sin?

In the United States, about 74% of the teen population thinks that premarital sex is
normal. It’s like something to get over with. Knowing that America is a liberated country, I was not surprised with the statistic at all. As I browsed up the internet, I found out that individuals from 13-19 yrs. old are fond of doing this act. Think about it, if children/ teens from America is doing it, there’s a big possibility that they can influence the Filipino children. Scary isn’t it?

Now, it made me think deeper … If we do premarital sex, can we benefit from it?
Premarital sex experience benefits us both physically and psychologically – conducive to health, because of the urgent need, not towed until adulthood. According to psychological studies, it shows that the organs of our body become mature because of hormone secretion. Psychologically, people will, accordingly with the changes, have sexual desire, which is normal. If the desire cannot be satisfied, it will affect people’s work, learning, and life.
However, it varies according to different people – some are very strong, and some are very weak. When people are with a strong desire, the so-called “sexual energy”, they can temporarily alleviate the sexual energy produced by having sex, which can give them a happy feeling, and a sense of achievement.

Premarital sex in general have occurred in the students and those without a stable source of community among the youths. They have sex because sex is something curious for them, and they will not be responsible, or in any obligations. When the sexual desire is gone, and something unexpected happens, some of them have the psychological fear and inferiority. Because premarital sex occurred in the majority of those who lack the knowledge of sex and experience, they may be pregnant after having sex, which may do great harm to these women physically and psychologically. Some of the disease once infected, there is no way to treat the disease, such as AIDS.

I think premarital sexual experience has pros and cons, and by and large, the benefit of premarital sex is far less than the disadvantages. It’s still up to us if we will do it or not. In my opinion, premarital sex is something that we should not be doing because sex is something to be done by couples who got married. However, I know that some people are against my belief. People have different mindset and I totally respect that. Up to now, how to solve the problem of premarital sex behavior still remain an arduous task and a problem for us to tackle.
