I think its quite possible to take your time and be sexually active at your own pace, without any hard and fast rules like 'no sex before marriage'. After all we can transfer and catch herpes by kissing, so to be realistic, abstinence on grounds of disease prevention would need to also include kissing - 25% of people have herpes and many do not even know it as it has never been symptomatic. |
Hey Kevin had to sit on this one a few days...
There is nothing to stop one being selectively sexually active, << To true morals included to that individuals misfortune..
and nothing to prevent one from having safe sex. NO they just need a dose of photo exposure to what the diseases can actually do to ones private areas, that can help you steer your ship in a different direction.
I'm not aware of any diseases that aren't almost totally protected against by use of condoms etc. << Except if the condom breaks..AAAAHHH!!!

After all we can transfer and catch herpes by kissing, << this too may be an extension of moral decline...had not evil bled through the cracks of society rather it be expressed through television, and or the inevitable...( oh everyone is doing it ) maybe we could have turned this all around..
Less activity through divers partners and a little more respect for oneself oral as well as physical hygene may have had less consequences, so I believe...
so to be realistic, abstinence on grounds of disease prevention would need to also include kissing - 25% << just think if we did it from a biblical perspective...your promised, no activity of any sort until marriage...WHAT?? you mean wait all the way?? who does that? ya who indeed will be brave enough to embrace such a concept? maybe just maybe had we adapted to those ways we might not have any diseases,,,any...diseases>>.mmmm..oh well, no- such thing, to bad to sad, so the inevitable arrives...disease ( Big Time ) out the wazoo, literally...
Yik, I could have avoided that one.
of people have herpes and many do not even know it as it has never been symptomatic.[/quote] < this to is very true, but hey...taboo of course, but if you stick around long enough in a relationship, before sexual activity..you might start seeing mouth blisters on that one you are considering sex with...who knows...something like, hey God, if this person is not for me...< beings your looking for a permanent attachement...then could you show me? ..AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH blisters appear.
Ok, I could have spared you the drama...
