Pre-Marital Sex

First, I would like to say I am a virgin and am very strongly opinionated on this subject. Virginity is a virtue of which to be proud, and I will remain a virgin until I am married. DO NOT TAKE THIS DEBATE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME. I WOULD LIKE GOOD DEBATE, THANK YOU! Definition of marriage: A marriage is the relationship between a husband and wife. Definition of premarital: Premarital means happening at some time before someone gets married. Definition of wife: A married woman; a man's partner in marriage. Definition of husband: A married man; a woman's partner in marriage. Definition of virginity: Virginity is the state of never having had sex. Definition of sex: Sexual union between a male and female involving either insertion of the penis into the vagina or genital contact other than vaginal penetration by the penis. Definition of sexual activity: This covers sex as well as other actions intended to result in sexual arousal or gratification. Sex includes penile-vaginal, anal and oral sex. Other actions intended to result in sexual arousal or gratifications, include, but are not limited to: masturbation, mutual masturbation, fondling, the use of sex toys, and the viewing of pornography. Also called sexual contact. Definition of abstinence: Refraining from engaging in sex while unmarried. In other words, to practice abstinence is to reserve sex solely for marriage by deciding not to have sex until one is married.

Definition of health: Health is a state in which a person is not suffering from any illness and is feeling well. A person's health is the condition of their body and the extent to which it is free from illness or is able to resist illness. Contention 1) Having sex with only your spouse is healthier than having sex with multiple partners. a) There are extremely lower chances of getting a STD if a person waits to have sex until they are married than if they don't. b) If a husband and wife both wait to have sex until they are married STD are impossible to get. Contention 2) Premarital sex can lead to emotional problems that can be avoided if a husband and a wife wait to have sex until they are married. a) Partners are more likely to anger at previous sexual decisions the other has made in the past. b) Spouses are less likely to cheat on each other than unmarried partners are. c) Marriage is a stronger bond than simply dating. d) When a man and women wait to have sex until they are married there is less baggage that is brought to the relationship. e) A husband or wife will not worry about there spouse cheating on them because they know that they have enough self control to wait until they were married, the self control necessary to keep from cheating on there spouse has already been acquired. Contention 3) Unwanted pregnancy is easier to avoid. a) Health problems that may occur from pregnancy are not a problem. b) Abortions that can be dangerous to pregnant women are not an issue. c) If a pregnant woman's boyfriend leaves her the baby is not a sole burden for the women. Contention 4) Single parent families tend to have more problems whereas two parent families don't. a) Single mothers are poorer, have more health problems, may have more problems interacting with their children, and are more likely to suffer from stress, depression, and other emotional and psychological problems. b) Non-resident biological fathers are at risk of losing contact with their children and are more likely to have health problems and engage in high-risk behavior. Contention 5) People who have grown up in single parent homes are more likely to have problems. a) Children living without there biological fathers are more likely to live in poverty and deprivation, are more likely to run away from home, have more trouble in school, tend to have more trouble getting along with others, have higher risk of health problems, and are at greater risk of suffering physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. b) Teenagers living without their biological fathers are more likely to experience problems with sexual health, are more likely to become teenage parents, and more likely to offend, smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs, leave school at 16, and have adjustment problems. c) Young adults who did not grow up with there biological father are less likely to attain qualifications, more likely to experience unemployment, more likely to have low incomes, more likely be on income support, more likely to experience homelessness, more likely to be caught offending and go to jail, more likely to suffer from long term emotional and psychological problems, more likely to develop health problems, more likely to have children outside marriage or outside any partnership, and are more likely to divorce or dissolve their cohabiting unions. d) Single mothers are twice as likely as two-parent families to live in poverty at any one time (69% of lone mothers are in the bottom 40% of household income versus 34% of couples with children), and are more likely to have health, social and interaction problems. e) these patterns are likely to repeat.
