Why i'm against sex before marriage

Turn on a TV many, shows have sex scenes.
Turn on a radio, many songs talk about sex.
Go on the internet, sex videos are easier to find than just about anything.
Go out in public, people are doing risky actions all the time.
If you want people to have sex only after marriage, clean the above up first and go from there.
https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/why-im-against-sex-before-marriage.247296/#post-7238281 I think the post was meant as a joke.
Anyway, I would not be giving my 16 year old daughter an IUD as a "gift" or otherwise, if I had a daughter.[/QUOTE]

I dont think the OP is saying "I want this implemented". It is a view.
Anyway, do you think that if the so called "TV and Internet cleanup" happens people will delay having sex? Just out of curiosity. And do you think premarital sex is purely because of what people see? You maybe right, Im just asking if you have anything solid behind you.
I think if we were more open about sex, all the above would be a yawn. They're only titillating 'cause we've made ordinary sex a taboo.

I think society has become so casual with sex, it will never change.

In my opinion society is pretty open about it.

Global studies not really since in many country there is no such thing as "sexual education" not even the "abstinence only type". Sexual education is relegated to a parental duty only. There is a partial database on it globally though it's not sufficient to draw good comparison. Poorer countries will also have a much higher rate of teenage pregnancy due to poverty and lack of education. As an example, in Egypt, in urban zones 4% of adolescents girls have been pregnant (about four times more than in the US) though the two country healthcare and education system are vastly different. The country with the lowest teenage pregnancy number which holds a comprehensive database is Switzerland and Korea and the highest are Niger and Mali.

I love the saying which applies here:
"First walk a mile in the other's shoes... "

I think you are right.
I am just asking for studies behind this. One thing I would like to add is that you can never say never. There has been many many changes that are so huge it would surprise people to read up on history.

Blame education partially. They teach many things that are of no matter and don't teach many things that are of matter.

See, you cannot really take the extremes to understand a common problem. For example, in countries like Botswana where the number of aids patients is highest in the world (at least it was), it was a culture to expect women to prove that they can have children before marriage. In another African culture which I will have to read up and tell you exactly where, there is a village designated man who takes every girls virginity. Problems can be vastly different. The United States has a very high rape rate compared to some asian countries who also have high rape rates, and high report rates in comparison, although the societies are not discussion sex with growing up children. There was a correlation study done by UNIDO which showed a rise in teen pregnancy once they started introducing a subject called procreation in grade 8. It is procreation, not even sex education. But then again in some western countries sex education has proven to work in comparison to the states in United States which did not. Every society has its own subjective social studies to use.

Since aggressive promotion of birth control methods and protection has the same effect with much lesser effect on fundamental human liberty, that option is to be chosen.

Something prolifers should do when it comes to women seeking an abortion.

Birth control today is cheap and effective.
Also, how do you figure that married couples automatically want children whereas non-married couples do not?
I agree with Firedragon. Never say never.
We were much more casual with sex in the late sixties and seventies, and I recall seeing topless women on network TV (that was all we had back then
) back in the fifties -- quite often. Attitudes are constantly shifting, as is what we see as sexual. Moreover, print media, TV, movies and social permissiveness are separate categories and don't seem to shift in sync with each other.
Right now I'd say we were in a less permissive period, in most categories.

When my daughters were in high school I remember them saying they knew several sexually active girls that wouldn't use protection. When asked aren't you worried about getting pregnant, they said no, abortions are easy to get.
Think protection before abortion.
