Well, doesn't "fuck" just mean, to "Fornicate Under the Consent of the King"?
Medical technology plays a part. Condoms, birth control, and only in case of an accident, Plan-B.. take away much of the reasonable fear and anxiety surrounding pre-marital sex. So, that argument point goes out the window.
The larger shift, however, is in social attitudes. Not sure if "porn" is to thank for that, but in 2017+, we don't think of sex as limited to "sexual intercourse" anymore. It's now more openly accepted that (as Bill Clinton would say) sexual "relations" is not limited to the Arkansas definition of "sexual intercourse," but also includes things like hand jobs, blowjobs, titfucking, assjobs, anal, etc., etc., etc.
Some people read or hear those things and still giggle uncomfortably like little children in grade school, or get immediately defensive and put their "I'm offended" angry hat on. Yet, it's this change in culture and shift towards embracing (rather than suppressing or avoiding) sexuality that is primarily responsible for accounting for why people are more willing to engage in "pre-marital" sexual relations.
No, it's not. That's nonsense.
If one wants to have sex, if one wants to enjoy sex then they can do it before marriage as well. If they are adults legally they cannot be stopped.
However having sex before marriage will have its implications, consequences so one has to be prepared for that well. For eg if a woman gets pregnant before marriage after having sex, then she will have to face the consequences of that.
However as you said, nowadays there are many methods available to avoid pregnancy so it's fine.
Marriage is not a license or a permission to engage in sex or sexual activities.
Well, "marriage" definitely is not just a social or cultural permission but also a legal requirement. SEX ofcourse plays a vital role in necessitating the marriage. I've neva come across any Gay/Gal who could deny attraction to SEX. However, pre-marital SEX is left to the Guy/Gal wanting to get involved in it, be it one or multiple or recurring. In my opinion, its most important to be sorted in SEXUAL requirements, as while it is EROTIC it has the power to pull you down in "Emotional Breakup or Divorces". Cheers. 😇💕💘
I consider marriage as a commitment made to produce and raise children. With all the knowledge and options available about contraception we can enjoy sex without the need of a marriage contract. Previously marriage has been used as an agreement to sex and the responsibility for any resulting children.
Marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman (or these days between two people) to live as one for the rest of their lives and is not just a permission to just have sex

First of all, you're very beautiful. Your intelligence in your statement is expounded properly. You're one of the extremely few females who are intelligent here on GAG.
Sexual pleasure is never an antidote for maintaining any relationship. Sex before marriage is a ruse for uncontrollable urges nothing more. I respect a woman or girl who abstains from sexual contact before marriage. It conveys power and strength. But I'm a realist also.
Constructive values and principles should never change when productive. Most people are not leaders but a mass of undisciplined livestock who remain passive from voices of the wind.
Marriage is a powerful union still. Which relationship is most respected in our society, marriage or cohabitation? Marriage! Period.
Married life is just a way of leading an organised life with responsibility by conquering selfish desires and attain self-realisation.
Sex loses its significance with age as skin starts wrinkling, boobs start sagging, and as the body gets affected by chronicle diseases like BP and Sugar, penis loses its stiffness and by even more. The moment we understand the limitations of the body, emotional involvement predominates over mere physical greed. So, sex is not a reason for marriage but marriage is to elevate the human standards.
Marriage is not just a license for sex, it's marriage of two souls and true soulmate couples understand each other emotions accept each other qualities and disqualities and every person in the world need a shoulder when no one is with us in up and downs of life and the shoulder of your partner is just like heaven in life troubles.. About sex, sex is a part of the life but sex is not life and there are two ways to express your love towards your partner 1st support him/her emotionally understand each other emotions and 2nd support him/her physically with sex and understand the fantasies of eack other body and give the real joy of sex in bed love..
I think things have changed partially , for example if we go back in time , Marriages used to happen early. Today Marriages are happening pretty late. Living in India I feel people have adopted those things as they like and it's a partial cultural change. Today many parents do want their children to get indulge into sexual relationships after Marriage but since marriage age has been delayed , present generalization wants to make love with their loved ones or to fulfil their physical needs at least. Need for financial stability has also increased and has become very competitive. These all factors pile up together. I really think partial cultural drift is not good thing. I think it's a package.
I still believe one should be free to make love sexually with their lover whom they see as their potential life partners.
For me marriage means a whole lot of responsibility and does not just equate to sex. If I marry a girl, I know I have to take care of her for the rest of my life.
Also, I am not into casual sex - it just seems too hollow - for me sex is when both of us love each other and I don't want any guilt attached to it.\
I guess I am weird..
I think you have enough comments/opinions on this topic... So I just wanted to tell you that you are unbelievably beautiful... like seriously, wow... What nationality are you? I am rarely left speechless, especially when talking to a woman, but I don't even know what to say or why I am even saying what I am saying right now... lol... I've met/dated some pretty attractive women in my day, but you are on a completely different level...
Marriage is a contract
Can be hell or heaven depends on many variables.
It is a contract signed and done forever unless divorce happen.
Basically u are married forever = even if u die or u will still be married and end up in heaven together still husband and wife
No, I don't feel that marriage is required for neither sex nor parenting.
Heck, most people in my country who have their first child is unmarried, while it is common to be married before the second child.
Its a notice issued publicly, in silent words that couple will be having sex and that is an advantage for girls they cam have sex with other men because that doesn't make any issue. No one knows if your money is eating banans regularly. But should be careful with the banana that gonna see you daily. And i say that this generation is mad of married women. I am one of them. I wish i get a married woman just for hookup. They are really amazing. No words to describe them
I may not be reading this right but I am ok with the option where I can agree with sex before marriage being totally OK. If they want to wait though that is great too. I lost my virginity before marriage and I would not change a thing.
I think it's been that way for a long time it's becoming even more relevant in today times but I think our world is changing are morals or values in their ethics are taking a backseat to the me me me generation
Not at all. Marriage does not give you the permission to have sex with your partner even if she is not ready. If after marriage you are forcefully having sex with your partner or without her concent, in my opinion it is same as raping that person. Marital rape is a real thing.
Yes, legal license of u r certainly not virgin and can do it with others if u want.
Yes... I'm Muslim... Marriage is a permission for sex life... otherwuse its sin but really and truly speaking of my heart I love to have sex even without marriage if she is also doing it for the sake of enjoyment
Marriage is a pious bond... which contains more of love than sex.
Sex is primarily for satisfying your primeval urges... Other things are also there... But kind of follow sex in that order. No wonder in Asian cultures, Suhaag-raat is such a big deal.
Well marriage is more than sex, it's more about life partner, family and life. It's a journey of responsibility , love, care and of course fulfilling physical and emotional needs...
I'm 55... I could give a hoot about culture.. I have sex because me and my SO like having sex. we dont care what anyone has to say about it..
Well, responsibilities might be a reason to some extent but this is going to sound rude... yes marriage is the licence to have sex
No... U should maintain ur purity before marriage..
