Of course it's not a requirement (otherwise premarital sex wouldn't exist), but then it just degenerates into hedonism, doesn't it? And what's the problem with a bit of hedonism? Sex gives pleasure, pleasure is good. And what is virginity for, then? Why does it have to be 'for' something? It's just something that is. If it's not meant to be saved for your spouse, then who's to say that extramarital or multiple partners is unethical and unsanctioned? If it were ethical, then STDs wouldn't exist, would they? How else do you get them? STDs exist for the same reason that influenza exists. Because it's a convenient way for diseases to propagate. Also if you use a condom you aren't going to get a STD anyway. I kind of get the feeling that you're coming from a perspective of 'God made STDs to punish fornication/adultery' which I'm going to have to disagree with on the grounds that I don't believe in God. I mean, if what you're saying is true, then by your viewpoint, we should look up to people who have multiple sex partners. If that's true, then why do STDs exist? Look up to? Not really, just not look down on. |
