LET SEX WAIT
- Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic
power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power
is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong
way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force. Sex is a gift from
God to give us the greatest pleasure, to help in creating a deep companionship
with one's spouse and for procreation of the next generation. But if you play
with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and
those close to you.
- Sexual activity for young people arrests their
psychological, social and academic development. Studies show that when young
people engage in premarital sex, their academic performance declines and their
social relationships with family and friends deteriorate. This is because
adolescents are too immature to deal with the explosive sex drive and it tends
to dominate their life.
- The majority of women cannot enjoy sex outside of the bonds of marriage. The
development of a fulfilling sex life needs the security and peace of the
marriage bond. Premarital sex usually takes place sneaking around in hidden
places dealing with the fear of being caught, the fear of pregnancy and feelings
of guilt. All these (worrisome) factors undermine pleasure in premarital sex,
most especially for women.
- Virginity is to be given to the most important person in your life, the
person you committed yourself to stay with forever in marriage. Your virginity
is the most precious thing you have to give to your spouse. Once you lose it,
nothing in the world can bring it back. Don't lose something so precious in a
thoughtless way.
- Those who engage in premarital sex run a high risk of contracting one of the
many venereal diseases rampant today, as well as losing their fertility. Not
just AIDS, but other common disfiguring diseases like herpes have no cure.
- Some venereal diseases have no symptoms and many couples discover many years
later that they became infertile because of these diseases. Infertility experts
estimate that 80% of today's infertility is due to venereal diseases contracted
before they married.
- The best and only method that guarantees 100% against AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases is to wait for marriage to have sex and maintain
fidelity in your marriage.
- Premarital sex breaks the 10 Commandments given by God. The 10 Commandments
are given to man by God to make man happy. They are not outdated and they are
not restrictive. If we follow these laws, we can create happy and prosperous
lives. If we don't follow them, we will pay a heavy price in divorce, disease,
abortions, illegitimate children and loneliness. Modern men make a big mistake
when they think that they can break these eternal laws and not suffer
consequences.
- Premarital sex runs the risk of conceiving illegitimate children. Numerous
scientific studies show that the children of single mothers suffer
psychologically and are less successful socially and academically than children
from intact families. Above all, children need both their father and their
mother. It is wrong to risk having children who will never have their father's
love, protection and care.
- If you date and you don't have sex, you can forget about that relationship
when you stop dating. But if you have sex with those you date and then break up,
the nature of sexual involvement creates strong, often unpleasant memories for
your whole life. Every relationship you break up where you had intimate
relations is like a mini-divorce. The psychological difficulties of these
mini-divorces does damage to your character. Later, when you are married and go
to bed with your beloved spouse, these unpleasant memories will accompany you.
True love waits. If a boy or girl truly loves you, they will want the
best for you. They will not want youto suffer fear of disease, unwanted
pregnancy and the psychological difficulties of premarital sex. They will want
to experience love with you only in the very best place of all - the love nest
of marriage
