Like A Virgin

[Umbreon_]

Teenage pregnancy / pregnancy without getting married? What do you think?

Discuss~

like a virgin, touch for the very first time

If they can handle it, if they have the money and if they're prepared then it's fine.

 

[Izanagi]

I don't think it's good at all. Fornication's a sin by my book.

 

[Reginaldvonburger]

I don't see the problem with pre-marital sex. It's up to each individual when and who they want to do it with.

I think pregnancy before marriage isn't so good. Pre-marital sex is fine but you should always use contraceptive devices. But, if the couple rally want something like that and can take care of everything, I don't see any major problem.

 

[Reginaldvonburger]

I don't see why people should have to be married to have a baby to be honest. Some people don't want to pay thousands for a piece of paper saying that if they divorce their other half she gets half his money.

 

[Izanagi]

If they're worried about divorce, they shouldn't be getting married in the first place.

I agree with her on all the above statements. Marriage is not at all necessary for parenthood.

 

[Sneeze]

If both parties are consenting and mature enough why not? I don't see why you need a legal document to make you "allowed" to do something that comes to all animals on the planet naturally.

 

[Reginaldvonburger]

Another point I thought I should make.
Gay couples adopt babies, in many American states they aren't allowed to be wed. Is it wrong for them to want to be parents as well?

Animals don't have to have a wedding to have babies or sex.

1. I don't think homosexual couples should be allowed to adopt, because I don't believe in homosexual relations period. No offence intended.

2. But we're not animals :/

 

[Spinor]

Look, Science is logic. Humans are animals -_-

Now, I see absolutely nothing wrong with protected sex before marriage. Of course, pregnancy is a different thing. If you want to be pregnant you have to be sure that you are economically stable and responsible. Marriage is not really necessary for that. Although yes, it would be recommendable depending on religion and government.

And homosexual couples have nothing to do with this topic XD

 

[Izanagi]

I don't know about you, but I'm no animal. But that's a different discussion.

 

[Spinor]

A parrot has the abilit to talk, is it not an animal? Monkeys and dogs have intelligence, they're still animals. What exempts humans from the animal kingdom? Intelligence, technology, and self-destruction are no excuse.

 

[Reginaldvonburger]

Humans are animals.
Personally I think what "humans" class as "animals" are better than ourselves. Animals never had a war.

And homosexual couples have something to do with this thread, as they can adopt children in states that they cannot marry.

Plus homosexuality is found in 60,000 animals species and I have dated more women than I have men so, clearly they exist, therefore, you can't NOT believe in them.

 

[Chibi-chan]

Let's keep this topic on a matter of maturity and pregnancy rather than the act of sex or any of that business there, okay? Just fyi, I'll be monitoring this thread.

BTW, Parrots cannot talk they can only imitate sounds. The rest of your point is solid though, humans are merely animals.

I don't know about you, but I'm no animal. But that's a different discussion.

Yes you are.

Humans are animals.

Actually, baboons, and other animals, have been known to wage war against their own species in order to aquire food, territory etc.

Now let's get back on topic before the Mods make us.

EDIT: looks like they already have!

Teenage pregnancy is entirely dependent on the situation. If the person has decided thats definitely the route she wants to take in life and she is mentally mature enough to handle pregnancy and motherhood, as well as having the correct resources for a child, then why not, although having all three of those things seems unlikely. On a personal level, I wouldnt want to be a father until at least 30, because that will give me the time to do all the other things in life other than create; even then it wouldn't be a priority for me.

As for Teenage Sex in general, I dont have much of a problem with that, but once again i would stress that both parties should be emotionally prepared for it.

Sex and pregnancy without marriage? I dont see any moral, emotional or physical reason why marriage is necessary for sex. Although, once again I think that the couple should be financially ready and responsible. What difference is there between having sex and having sex with a certificate in a cupboard somewhere?

This. To be honest I think marriage is an outdated idea, I mean what's the difference between being partners and being partners with a slip of paper saying you are married.

As for teen pregnancy, I think that if she wishes to keep it then that is fine, but I personally would say that an abortion is the best idea, as having a child that early would restrict your future dramatically.

I don't know about you, but I'm no animal. But that's a different discussion.

As for this. What exactly sets us apart from animals in your opinion then?
Intelligence? If that's so why can apes and crows use tools just like we (as a genus) did?
Warfare? Animals battle over territory just as much as we do, except we do it on a larger scale.
Souls? Well I don't believe we have souls/spirits anyway, so you know
What else is there to set us apart?

Teenage fornication in general is very wrong in my book. Generally speaking, teenagers aren't in love with their partner (but they will swear they do because they have a physical attraction to them), teenagers aren't mature enough to handle having a child, and teenagers aren't financially prepared to have a child. Even in the rare case where one of those three is present, the other two will most likely be missing.

I dunno, it might just be because I'm asexual personally, but I strongly feel that Lust is considered a deadly sin while Chastity is considered a heavenly virtue for a reason.

BTW, for those debating the marriage thing, I don't think the traditional views revolve around the article of paper itself, but more or less the love and devotion to one another that real married couples share. This is why such examples without an official marriage certificate are often called Common Law Marriages.
