Opinions differ on pre-marital sex

As teenagers, it’s difficult to talk about our sex lives. Virginity is an odd topic—some view it with a sacred light, while others see it as no big deal. In this community, however, it’s not abnormal to judge people based on their beliefs about sex. Society has built certain conflicting ideas for our generation: sex before marriage is shameful, and waiting until after marriage is prudish. Rampage conducted a poll asking whether students would have pre-marital sex or not. 103 students participated in this Google Docs survey, and the results show that the perspectives are fairly even. While not everyone shares the same view of sex before marriage, no one should feel alone in their opinions. Here’s what the students of our school think.

“The golden gates don’t magically unbolt the second you spit out ‘I do’ at an overpriced wedding ceremony. Don’t let a stupid societal sin keep you down.”

“I have been raised in an environment that has reinforced the idea of abstinence so much, that the idea of having sex, let alone sex before marriage, seems like something I would never dare to do.”

“Personally, I think it’s best to save sex for after marriage. It’s something that should be respected. Having sex before marriage is something that can change people, both physically and emotionally.”

“I believe if someone is ready to move forward sexually, it isn’t a wrong thing to do as long as he or she is prepared for any outcomes or consequences.”
