Abstinence and outer-course are safe, effective, and free ways to prevent pregnancy. But some people have a hard time avoiding sex.
Both abstinence and outer-course are simple, free, and work really well to prevent pregnancy. In fact, abstinence is the only 100% effective way to avoid pregnancy and STDs. And outer-course really lowers your risk a lot.
Listed are top ten reasons to Abstain from Sex Until Marriage
1. You will be free to be physically intimate with your spouse without being haunted by past sexual relationships.
2. Once you have a sexual relationship with another, it cannot be undone. You are permanently changed. Oxytocin is released in the brain during the intimate relations. Oxytocin acts as "super glue", bonding us to the person we have been intimate with. When you break up and get a new partner, your ability to bond with a new partner is damaged. It's like leaving pieces of yourself with everyone you have been with.
3. To avoid sexually transmitted diseases, some of which are a death sentence and others that will be with you for a lifetime. There are 141 different STIs.
4. To prevent the emotional pain of feeling used, discarded or rejected by the person you have given the most intimate part of yourself to.
5. To avoid unintended pregnancies and the problems they cause. If you become pregnant, your options are either to parent the child or place the child for adoption. Abortion is not a good option because it takes the life of an innocent child.
6. To have time to focus on your school work, sports, talents and to grow as an individual.
7. You won't have any hormonal contraceptives polluting your body.
8. To increase your chance of a long, happy marriage - couples who have sex before marriage, especially those living together, have much higher rate of divorce.
9. To remain true to your religious and moral beliefs. Abstaining proves a commitment to God and your future spouse.
10. To know you are giving your spouse the total gift of yourself; something never given to another. Real love desires the best for one another.
