In the recent years, there have been a lot of issues raised against premarital sex. It is still very much a controversial issue that is debated by many people.
With the current news on Straits Times “Teens having sex earlier” which stated that more girls aged below 14 are having sex and consensual sex was often at the heart of the problem. Many of the girls had sex with casual friends and boyfriends, most of whom were about the same age. This is a worrying trend indeed and people need to start being concern.
Such irony indeed because a few decades back, sex was still seen as something sacred and an act done only by husband and wife who had been legally bound for eternity by the sacred vow.
Virginity is something that is very much valued and honored. A gentleman who had deflowered a young maiden had to marry her right away to protect her honor and dignity. A contradiction, as it can no longer be applied today.
It is very much driven by the“FREE LOVE” movement from the west that started in the 70s by the hippies, which was soon adopted by people from all over the world.
An act of pleasuring oneself or of mutual benefit?
People accept them and take them in because they feel that it is all right to embrace in sexual awakening experience and that both men and women has the right to sexual pleasure.
Why wearing them could promote abstinence :
- make think twice before they succumb to their desire, wearing it serves as an emblem or perhaps a reminder to what they have vouch for.
- served as a reminder about the anticipation of waiting, to know that they are saving themselves for their true love is worth their while.
- remind them about all the aftermath of having sex without any precaution will put themselves in the hot seat of unecessary trouble.
Why it will not work :
- Most feel that it is okay for them to engage in sexual behaviour if both parties are willing, even before they are married.
- They have the rights to embrace in sexual liberation.
- Peer Pressure.
- The invention of contraceptives that provide a solution to their act.
There is no definite answer to this matter. It depends on the individual’s beliefs whether he or she wants to practice abstinence until they are married.
I feel that it is very important for women alike to wait until they have met the right person because it is going to be a very special moment for those who have just started their journey as husband and wife.
Instead of ‘mingling’ around with the wrong person and doing it leisurely and do not blame others if you are being thought as ‘cheap’ in the process.
