Is the Biblical Perspective on Premarital Sex STILL Relevant in today's Society?

Yesterday on Grown Folk Radio at 5pm the topic of the day was is the Bible still relevant when it comes to Christian Singles and their Sexuality?

Being that I was raised in a very closed society of religion, certain things were just not acceptable. One of those things was Sexuality before marriage. However, as with everything there are DOUBLE Standards.

In my OPINION there are countless double standards in EVERY Religion. Come to think of it double standards exist in society. I enjoy EQUALITY. I feel that if a Man can do is dirt and still be respected then I feel like I should be able to do whatever it is I feel like doing at the moment. I don't feel I should be judged by what I'm doing because that's not WHO I am.

For example, because I'm a Journalist that doesn't mean that I'm not a Woman as well. People have this perception that I'm supposed to be Prim and Proper 24 hours a day without fail. But I feel like Journalism is just my Career its not who I am. That said, I would appreciate it if everyone treat Me like the cool, comedic individual that I am rather than trying to put me in a BOX.

With that foundation in place I'm going to give my thoughts on the topic

I am of the opinion that SEX is just for Marriage. HOWEVER, being that I'm not a teenager its safe to assume that I have had at least one sexual partner. It always gets Me when Men ask me crazy questions like:

"How Many Men have you been with"? What, I scream in my HEAD just because you are attracted to Me that doesn't mean that I as a Woman lower my standards to sleep with every man I happen to think is physically captivating. I am a Woman after all NOT a Man in this respect anyways. So while Men may have a hard time controlling themselves. I for the most part have a pretty good handle on who I am as a Woman.

I want nothing more than to be Married and Pregnant. But apparently this isn't my season for that. So it is what it is...

I think that when it comes to SEX you are talking about something that I consider to be sacred. So even though my FLESH my want to Sample Every Flavor of Man I happen to see my LIFE experience has taught me by observing others that there are HUGE consequences to well just doing anything with anyone. Sure you may think you as a Woman are getting over but the whole time you are screaming EQUALITY he's just laughing thinking that he got the jackpot. He has the best of both worlds a Woman he is attracted to plus she's trying to be Ms. Independent so there's NO reason to Settle down with her.

In the End its the Woman that gets the judgment and more importantly is left SINGLE.

Now I must admit that I'm single because of my MOUTH... I tend to talk people to death... Therefore, I write when no one is interested in Speaking with Me.

I think that NO one should be having SEX before Marriage, Male or Female. BUT that's just not the world that we live in....
