Ed Board does not promote pre-marital sex, but we also do not agree that waiting until marriage to lose your virginity is the only way to go. It’s ridiculous that people get so worked up about the whole virginity thing in the first place.
If you want to have sex, great. If not, wait. Who needs to know about it? No one but you and your partner.
Sex is not something that should be taken lightly. Some college students go out every weekend and have sex with a number of different people. We are not saying that is okay by any means, but everyone makes mistakes. If you haven’t yet, you will. Your mistake may not be on the same level as someone else’s, but you will most likely do something in your college days that you will regret.
But not everyone is like that. Some people on campus are in serious, long-term relationships and choose to express intimacy through sex. That is okay, too. Others are in serious relationships but want to wait until marriage. That is perfectly fine.
Religion (or sometimes the simple fact that “the one” hasn’t come along yet) is what motivates most people to wait until marriage. Others feel that pre-marital sex is normal and okay. Either way, know what you believe and stick to it. We’re not here to judge you.
There is so much emphasis placed on sex in our society. Who’s having it and with whom? Questions about who still possesses his or her innocence tend to come up during conversations. Splashed on the pages of Cosmopolitan every month are the “40 Hottest Bedroom Tricks” and “Sex tips that will make him go wild.”
Why is sex such a hot topic? Who cares?
There is a lot of pressure put on people to do it at an early age. If you’re not ready to have sex, it could cause myriad psychological and emotional problems later on. Not to mention STDs and pregnancy both possible consequences of careless sex.
No matter when you decide to do it, whether it be for the first time ever, or the first time in a new relationship, Ed Board wants you to be ready. It’s a big decsion, but no one has to know about it except you and your partner. There is no need to write a Facebook note about it or make the information public in any way.
