Premarital sex is seldom a good thing. It always has a cost that shows up later in life or even later in the relationship. People are far better off remaining pure until they are married

I think people are happier if they have dogs. I like a yard with trees in it. I think people should use bright colors when they paint.

These are opinions, John. While I can see societal benefits to the monogamy that has traditionally come from celibacy before marriage, the lack of celibacy was not necessarily the part of the act that brought the benefit, the monogamy and commitment after the commitment was.

And of course I disagree. And always will disagree. Premarital sex is bad for people. I hold that opinion from a biblical standpoint as well as from an experiential standpoint. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
