I am a 26 yr old unmarried girl. I have a steady boyfriend for the last 5 years. I think it is one's mental as well as physical choice which lead them to sex. I have had physical relationship with my bf on several occasion, but I knew what was I doing. my marriage was fixed to my bf 2 years ago, but till today, because of financial and other personal problems, we have not got married. But we both love each other. I knew that he is the person whom I will spend rest of my life. Therefore it was not a hard decision to give away. Also for 3 years, we didn't had anything, but after our marriage was decided, i cud not supress my feelings. I wanted to hold him and kiss him. But that day it went far and we cud not return. i agree with the author that sex is not an activity, but a necessary thing which must be done at the right time. People take sex as fun. But they should be matured enough. Everything has a proper time. my major concern about sex before marriage is that people indulge in more than one person sex and that can lead to various diseases like AIDS. but if the person knows what he/she is doing, then nobody can do anything.
