Whether We Admit It Or Not.docx

Whether we admit it or not, we live in a world inundated with sexual stimuli. Even in Psychology — Freud’s psychosexual stages discuss sexual relationships in the genital stage. Sex in general is just a part of people’s lives. But for some people, sex is not just the manifestation of desire and pleasure or a psychological stage a person goes through, but a holy and spiritual kind of connection between two people. But in today’s time where sex is always the talk of the town – from schools to the senate house, we can’t help people, teenagers and young adults specifically to delve in the idea of sex. And what a better way to satisfy those “curiosity” is to engage into the said activity. Suddenly, premarital sex isn’t just considered taboo anymore, at least for some people. People who affirm themselves to premarital sex may be exploring compatibilities – partners wants to know their sexual compatibility. It could also be circumstantial – one thing led to another and they just ended up making love. Succumbing to temptations, this probably is the most popular one, the inability to resist their raging hormones. Friends may also have a say on one’s sexual life that may lead to peer pressure – “my friends are doing it, so will I”. And of course, media. The things we see in movies, televisions, magazines and social networking sites are great contributors to our actions. The list could extend. There is no objective answer here however if premarital sex should be considered morally right or not. There are different angles we can look at this from. From a curious teenager trying to explore or adults to middle-aged adults who abstained from sex for the sake of keeping their purity. Point is that, let’s not look at it in just a single perspective. Whether a person subjects himself/herself to a sexual relationship prior or after marriage – it’s all about preference. We are not breaking any law that prevents us from having an intercourse before marriage. Keep in mind though that everything has its limitation and when it comes to topics like this, it is when the divine comes into the picture to set its boundaries. Premarital sex can wound the conscience of a God-fearing youth. From a young adult’s stand point, premarital sex is not something we can stop from happening, not when many people are into the idea of it. Sex however as mentioned above is not only a physical thing but a supposed demonstration of love but if only for fun and satisfaction of carnal needs, then better think twice. Criminal records may remain clean, but will your conscience remain untainted? That’s for you to answer.
