Hi.I just want to ask you a question as regards the ''sex before marriage'' thing.Where in the Bible is it forbidden?Who defined fornication as being sexual intercourse before tying(tieing) the marriage ''knot''? And..if one can not wait,then he should marry,according to what Paul said in Corinthians.Ok.But..what if one can not marry at the moment because his parents think he has to get married at 30?or even later?So...does that mean that he has to 'burn'' until the time his parents or other people deem ''right'' for him to get married?If i'm not commanded to ''burn'',why should i?And...masturbation.Is it natural?I have masturbated too,and i,by GOD'S GRACE,have tried to stop it,not doing it now.But,what is the way out?If GOD created human beings and made sexual desire part of the physiology of both married and unmarried people.When married people have the desire for sex,they just do it.When unmarried people(because of certain circumstances) have the desire for the same..what should they do?why does one principle apply to a group of people and does not apply to the other?Where in the BIBLE does that come into play?

I'm not actually very religious, so I have no actual quotes etc instead I'm going to give you my own advice:
The bible was written many many maaany years ago, and much of what it states is supporting of social constructions at the time, in today's age it's better to take what's in the bible with a pinch of salt.
Masturbation is also entirely natural and fine, it is just a part of human nature and there is no shame in doing it, equally like sex before marriage. looking at it from a scientific point of view (bear with me): Swans mate for life, and ideally people believe humans should too, that means the first "mate" should be the only one, with exception to early death, However, we are not birds. It is evolutionary stronger to mate at a younger age in theory, it increases the chance of human survival, but now with the largest life span recorded in history its accepted that people should initially wait until they are at the very least in their late teens, and as another social construction, protection should always be used as society looks down on you teenage mothers.
Again, the Bible was written when women were expected to be producing children by the time they were 15 if that, so the wait wasn't long between reaching sexual maturity and actually finding a wife as opposed to now where by 12/13 teenagers begin to develop sexually and usually won't be married until their late 20's early 30's.
Do what makes yourself happy, be careful and respectful to every one and god can't possibly have a problem, after all Adam and Eve were never claimed to be married and they created a whole race haha (presumably). I hope that helped (and do remember if you decide to do anything to use protection and be safe!)
