Debate - Premarital Sex (CON)

First, virginity is a virtue of which to be proud of. I am not in favor of premarital sex.
Before I explain further, let me define some important matters.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Marriage: A marriage is the relationship between a husband and wife. Premarital: Premarital means happening at some time before someone gets Wife: A married woman; a man's partner in marriage. Husband: A married man; a woman's partner in marriage. Virginity: Virginity is the state of never having had sex. Sex: Sexual union between a male and female. Abstinence: Refraining from engaging in sex while unmarried. In other words,
married.
to practice abstinence is to reserve sex solely for marriage by deciding not to have sex until one is married.

Chastity: Is the state of not having sex with anyone, or of only having sex with Purity: Freedom from guilt or the defilement of sin; innocence; chastity; as, Virtue: Virtue is thinking and doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong. Health: Health is a state in which a person is not suffering from any illness
your husband or wife. purity of heart or of life. A virtue is a good quality or way of behaving. 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. 1
st
argument Having sex with only your spouse is healthier than having sex with
multiple partners. 2 points: a) b) Lower chances of getting STD if a person waits to have sex until they are married Impossible to get STD if a husband and wife both wait to have sex until they are married
nd
argument 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. 2 points:
a) b)
Marriage is a stronger bond than simply dating. Spouses are less likely to cheat on each other than unmarried partners are
because they know that they have enough self control to wait until they were married.
rd
argument Unwanted pregnancy is easier to avoid. 3 points: a) b) c) Health problems that may occur from pregnancy will be avoided. Abortions that can be dangerous to pregnant women will be prevented. If a pregnant woman's man leaves her, the baby is not only a sole burden for the women but is also mans responsibility.
th
argument Single parent families tend to have more problems whereas two
parent families don't. 2 points: 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.
th
argument People who have grown up in single parent homes are more likely to
have problems. 4 points: a) Children living without their 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 their 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 and are more likely to have health, social and interaction problems.
6th argument - Morality is a factor for many people when deciding whether or not to have premarital sex.
2 points: a) The Bible refers to premarital sex as fornication. Fornication is sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other. The only distinction the Bible makes between premarital sex and adultery is that adultery involves married persons while fornication involves those who are unmarried. Premarital sex is just as much of a sin as adultery and all other forms of sexual immorality. They all involve having sexual relations with someone you are not married to. b) Most people don't consider the emotional effects of premarital sex. Sex is an emotional experience feelings of guilt, and it affects our lives in ways people we don't understand. After engaging in premarital embarrassment, tension, and so much more. Summary: Yes, sex is pleasurable, but in God's view, the primary purpose of sex is not recreation, but rather recreation. In other words, sex is for reproduction. God does not limit sex to married couples to rob pleasure from those who are unmarried. Rather, God commands against premarital sex in order to protect unmarried people from unwanted pregnancies, from children born to parents who do not want them, and to protect children from parents who are not prepared for them. Imagine, for a moment, a world without premarital sex. There would be no sexually-transmitted diseases, there would be no un-wed mothers, there would be no unwanted pregnancies, there would be no abortions, there would be no poverty, etc. According to the sex, many express
distrust, resentment, lack of respect,
Bible, abstinence is God's only policy when it comes to premarital sex. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, puts sexual relations the proper value, gives proper living, and most importantly abstinence honors God.
