Q: i'm a guy and was wondering something. as the question implys, i would like to know whether most people put feelings or morality first, and why. my example is pre-marital sex. there must be at least 20 questions on that topic before this one...some say 'do it if you feel ready' while others say 'no because you'll regret it and it's not meant to be that way'. both seem good reasons for or against it. is it both? should you really put your feelings and that of another first, or should you stick to your moral values, reguardless of what others or society has to say about pre-marital sex. thanks, will rate.

This is a difficult one. I believe in abstinence.. that is waiting until I'm married. I don't believe in it for religious reasons, simply my own reasons. I wish to wait because to me when you lose your virgnity, you lose a part of yourself by giving yourself to someone. For me, I would prefer to give it to my husband rather than someone I may not end up with. Once you lose your virgnity, you can never get it back. It's much more worth it if it's meaningful.
I do however believe people should make up their own mind. Its THEIR lives.. and they are the ones who will have to deal with the consequences of their actions. That's why I don't think people should get their morals from religion. Religion to me tells people what to do and instills fear and guilt in people as a form of control. And a lot of what religious leaders tell people to do isn't listed in the bible. I feel that if people want to live a moral life (in religious terms) they should live according to the bible rather than SOMEONES interpretation of it. I'm referring to all those Chastity books peope write and stuff.. those're ridiculous.
I don't preach abstinence to people, however, I do feel people should wait until they're at least 18 to make an important decision about losing their virginity. A lot of people lose it at a young age these days by simply following their hormones. They don't listen to their conscience, they just want a "release" of sexual tension.. lol. Most of these people end up regretting losing it this way.
Anyway, my point is people should stick to THEIR conscience. If it feels right to them, then they should do it. If there's any doubt, then they shouldn't. It's true, morality is relative...
