Pros:


You learn if you're sexually compatible.


You learn if that person is someone you want to have sex with more than just the once.


Sex is great for stress relief.


Sex helps you sleep.


Sex is wonderful exercise.


Some studies say that sex helps clear up pimples/acne.


Sex is the ultimate cure for boredom.





You test drive a car before you buy it, and you're only going to have the car for 5 or 10 years, and you'll never be all that intimate with it. Could you imagine being stuck with something you hated for the rest of your life?





Cons:


Disease


Pregnancy


Some men don't respect anything they get too easily.


Hormonal reactions after sex can leave you feeling lonely, sad, scared, sick, and generally upset you.





EDIT TO ADD:


A ';wedding'; is nothing but a piece of paper and a great party.





A ';marriage'; has nothing to do with sex. It's about people who have committed to being partners with someone through thick and thin.


~~Some married people haven't had sex in years.


~~Some people have committed their lives to each other, have been together (having sex) for decades, and have never been married.What are the pros and cons of sex beofre marriage?
The Cons of having sex before marriage:


1. Feeling used (if you don't stay with the guy)


2. Not saving it for that special someone


3. getting pregnant and the guy leaving you


4. getting pregnant and the guy staying with you, even when he's not who you wanna spend your life with


The list goes on...





The Pros of having sex before marriage:


1. Sick pleasure





that's all i can think of
I am a christian, and a pastor's wife. That said, I do feel like sex should be saved for marriage. There are several reasons that i feel this way. Sex is a very strong intimate connection between a man and a woman, and marriage is a binding covenant between a man and a woman.





The form of intimacy known as sex, is meant to be enjoyed inside the confines of marriage.





By waiting until marriage you have proven your will to be extraordinarily strong, and your partner can trust you fully to not sleep around with anyone else and vise versa.





As far as the concerns about them not being good in bed, i can say from personal experience that for 2 virgins having sex for the first time on their wedding night it is no problem. If you have waited for sex for your wedding night it will be good no matter what. You have nothing to compare it to.





There are loads of benefits to waiting, you never have to worry about whether or not your partner has had better sex with someone else, nor do you have to worry about being compared to past sexual partners, you never have to think ';I wish he/she was as good as';, and you never have to worry about your partner thinking that...
i was planning not to have sex before marriage either, then being with the same guy for 5 years now, we finally did. Its great. Marriage shouldnt be associated with 'being able to have sex'. Its so much more than that. Anyways, if you are in a loving, stable, and ready relationship, i dont see the con.
You get to know if you are sexually compatible with the person you are marrying. You shouldn't have to spend the rest of your life with someone that isn't satisfying you.
Just wait until you're married!! You'll love it!! It's totally worth the wait:)
There are no pros.


Cons: STD's, risk of pregnancy and becoming a single mom (the guy could easily leave you high and dry)
