Is it ok to have Pre-Marital Sex?

True Love : A Mystical True Love Story book review.

True Love' is a Rare Occurrence of Hearts - Poonam Uppal in A Passionaate Gospel of True Love : A Mystical True Love Story According to the dictionary, Sex has different meanings. One of the meanings is sexual intercourse. Sex has been practiced by the humans for two important purposes. They are for giving birth to the next generation and to express love. Due to the advancement of the civilization, humans have formed their own set of rules to safeguard themselves. One of the rules is that sex has to be performed after marriage. I would like to limit the scope of the discussion to India only. Even our own Indian traditional scriptures preach that “Brahmacharya has to be followed strictly before the Dampatya Jeevana”.

In the recent years, the sex before marriage has been becoming popular in the tier 1 and tier 2 cities in India. Premarital sex has been defined as the sex before marriage. As the humans attain the puberty, the urge for the sex get instilled them. There can be two reactions to this urge. One is to abstain from the sex and the other is to go for it. Abstinence from the sex is the best option before marriage. The reason for this is if two persons without any legal binding relationship participate in this act, they may not be able to counter the aftermaths of this act effectively. In the real life scenario, there is always an uncertainty associated with the relationship before marriage. There will be an uncertainty related with the relationship before marriage.

There are many reasons that fuel the premarital sex. They are peer pressure, westernization, easily available sex content. Peer pressure plays an important role to encourage the premarital sex. Peer pressure means that a person has to perform the sex, so that he can prove himself as inferior to none. The second reason is that our obsession in aping the western civilization is making us to move towards the premarital sex. There are many positive points and negative points in the western culture; unfortunately we have ignored the positive points and trying to adopt the negative points. The third reason is that easily availability of the sexual content. Sexual content is so easily available in the country with the advent of internet. Earlier, the only source of sexual content was that the sex magazines. A person used to feel shy to purchase it. But with the advent of smart phones with the internet data packs, the availability of the sexual content is just a touch away. Sexual content is flooding in the social media, movies and advertisements. These are definitely guiding the youth in the wrong direction.

There are some remedies that can counter the current issue. One of the major steps to counter this is the sex education. Sex education should provide information about the reproductive system, advantages of sex, disadvantages of sex, disadvantages of the pre-marital sex, use of the contraceptives, abstinence from sex before marriage. Awareness of the sexual abstinence will go a long way to in stopping the premarital sex. Last but not the least; we should inculcate the Indian values in the every aspects of the life, so that we can lead a happy and prosperous life.

Thus, for me we should abstain ourselves from pre-marital sex and wait till the marriage as marriages are made in heaven.
