Why is sex before marriage a sin, if sex feels good, and you have hormones and can't help it?

Well, I'm not religious and all, but I herd once that yeah, God allowed humans to have sex to feel good... But he "created" or whatever sex to only married couples. He only wants married couples to have sex, and have babies. The purpose of sex is to reproduce, and make a family. He wants a married couple, to have a family. Not a 16 year old girl pregnant, and most likely having the guy LEAVE her. So yeah, it is a sin for a good reason.

If you are in a solid relationship then you should sleep together before marriage. I don't think sex before marriage means every Friday night after you go to the bar. Do not use the excuse, "can't help it," because that's lame and not a valid reason. You can help it and if it's a problem then you are a sexual addict and need therapy. There is no can't help it. You say no and you keep your panties on. It's only a sin in the eyes of some churches and closed minded people and probably some people who aren't for sex every Friday night with someone new.

It is considered a sin for those with deep religious values and moral. Biblically speaking, man and woman are not to be known in the carnal sense with someone that is not their spouse

Plenty of things are bad for you that feel good; drugs, for example make you feel great! And you can help it. Unless there's something wrong with you and you go around raping random people as they pass you. Serious exercise some self control. The whole "I can't help it" is pathetic in both sexes, but in women it's just trashy. I'm not a huge proponent of waiting until marriage, but it is advisable to wait until you're ready. Now I don't know how old you are, but if you have to ask a silly question like this do the world a favor and do wait. Waiting until marriage is rooted in western theism and even for non-religious folks is considered a social norm, and one that's is dying. Waiting is usually a good idea because there can be consequences to sex: pregnancy, STDs, emotional drama with the person etc. The general idea is that even if you have an unplanned pregnancy while married you're more equipped to take care of it (one way or another), and being in a monogamous relationship reduces the risk of STDs and the emotional repercussions you might have after sex with someone. My advise is you don't have to wait until you're married, but you should wait until you're ready and use a condom EVERY time. Good luck honey :-)

Look a lot of things feel good but sex may feel good for a moment but cause all kinds of bad if your not ready for it. Kissing, exploring, these are actions that lead to these things called feelings. Sex aplifies them so good is really good but bad is agony. Wait till you feel ready and to tell the truth your never really ready. People will tell you that it is alright, and you should have many partners, but really? you have to decide for your self. Me personally, rushing into sex has made more problems than solutions when it came to relationships.

Sex feels good because if it didn't, noone would reproduce and humans would die out. In the Puritan days, sex was only meant to be done by husband and wife and only to conceive not just for fun. Sex for fun was lustful and lust is one of the seven deadly sins. Some people just haven't let go of those old thoughts.

Most pple think life is all about making themselves feel good and enjoying themselves. Yes u r supposed to enjoy the physical pleasures of life, but there's a time n place for everything. Sex is one of them. It's the ultimate connection u can have with someone's, so wouldnt u won't to save it or the most special person? Drugs also feel good, but I can't imagine Gds took happy with pple doing them....just cuz st feels good doesn't mean it's right. If ur married and not satisfied with the sex u go to sex therapy. As long as both partners r willing o improve then there shouldn't be a problem. Life and marriage aren't all about sex and making ur self feel good. Life's about improving yourself and doing for others. And to M, I'm Jewish too and sex is not merely for reproducing,,, I don't knw what community ur in or what they're teaching u but they're wrong. Sex is made for reproducing AND for giving pleasure to one another. And no one said u can't help it. Pple can control themselves, its just a question if they want to or not. Animals have no self control, people do. That's what separates us from animals-our ability to control and not act on impulse all the time. "I couldnt help it" is never an excuse. U and u aloe r responsible for ur actions. It's hard to believe how shallow and self centered this world has become....

Religion is a construct.

If u do sex before mariage then may be child due to that and if your partner leave u after child whats the security of u and child?
