but lust and love are two different things

and im sick of society telling us teens it's ok to have sex before marriage because it's not

amen to that. I love sex haha but a relationship should not be based on or about sex. Sex should just be a bonus

that's true, but at the same time, sex is one of the truest expressions of love.

well I can't agree with you there.

good for you realizing these things, if you mean it, you might want to speak to fans of SATC.

I'm a huge SATC fan but I don't think a relationship should just be about sex

isn't a teen, and hasn't been for a loooooooooong time.

sex is a really important aspect of marriage, indeed.

sex is only an expression of love between a married couple. that's what the bible says. and i agree. anything else is just lust

for teens, well.

or compensation for low self esteem

a mom, and is thus biased in favor of waiting, and being as smart about it as you can.

I'm a teen and I don't think sex is just 'making love' for married people. In fact just recently I believe a certain someone and I expressed

I'm just going to remove myself completely from this conversation.

our love when having sex. It really depends on the people involved

sex should only be in marriage, i think that it's getting way out of hand with teens. there are too many 13 year old girls having kids

would freak if her kids had sex at 13 . . .

there's a lot of cultural pressure, though, and a kind of . . .

well, a devaluation of it.

the idea that oral sex isn't really sex for instance, is just dumb.

exactly

i've made so many mistakes about sex

and i finally get it.

agrees with you there.

where we were missing each other earlier is that I'm a married woman.

it should be non-existent in my life because that is not how to build a good relationship.

married for a loooooong time. A sexless marriage would be an empty marriage for me.

i kinda figured that, and i got where you were coming from. married people, sex IS an important part of the relationship.

how old you are.

it's supposed to be at that point.

i'm seventeen

ah, well, whole different thing.

had a very strong sex drive at 17, too, but . . .

you know what the problem is? We teach about sex, the media is full of sex, sex, sex.

but we aren't always that good at talking about why it matters, and how our emotions get involved.

and i strongly think that is why Raven is having relationship problems

preventing pregnancy and std's isn't that hard. Making smart decisions and not getting your heart broken is harder.

and my comment about low self esteem is probably why she stopped talking

ooohhhhh. Well.

they make it all so easy for us teens to have sex like it's no big thing. it makes me mad. it should be a big deal.

some 17 year olds will always be having sex, and some really do love each other.

passion, emotion, and hormones. Powerful combo.

it's a huge deal, indeed.

doesnt think "love" is an excuse for them to have sex. what if they change their minds?

but, we're fighting against a powerful cultural current, thinking that way.

me and devin love each other, and we're sure. like really sure. like god told us. but that doesnt mean we can have sex.

I'm 18 and I have sex. Lol as long as you're smart about it and safe, then who cares? I enjoy it and I'm not a slut about it.

i'm gonna change the world's thinking if i have to.

you have to let your own conscience and sense of ethics be your guide. If you aren't ready, then you just aren't.

Yeppers. You have to be emotionally ready.

we made a mistake and god almost separated us. not really a matter of ready or not.

it's enough just to know what your values are, and stick to them. Not everyone has to agree.

mistakes are forgivable.

people make so many excuses on why it's okay to have sex befor they're married. and they wonder why they get STDs and all that

sex is complicated.

when if they'd waited and only had sex with one person [if everyone did that] there'd BE NO STDs =/

i get upset about the state of the world. cuz i love everyone. that's all.

that's sweet and wonderful of you.

hopes her daughter feels the same about it at your age.

amen to this...
