Sex is Awesome...

...unless it is outside of marriage.

Sex will not be awesome if you chose to have it outside of marriage. It will leave you feeling guilty, regretful, cheap, used, angry, stupid, ridiculous, embarrassed, afraid of maybe being pregnant, etc… Thoughts like “Is he going to leave me?”, “Did he do this just to get what he wants?”, “Why did I do this?”, “Will God forgive me?”, and more will pour through your mind. If you think that having sex before you are married will be the most amazing thing ever, think again, because it won’t.  
If you are thinking about having sex with your boyfriend right now, I pray that you would stop and really listen for just a moment. Here are the three biggest decisions you will ever need to make and why (in order of importance):
 
  1. Your decision to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Because eternal life is for real and your choice will determine your eternal destination.
  2. Who you choose to marry. Aside from what the world says, this is the truth: Marriage is a life-long commitment.
  3. Deciding to remain a virgin until marriage. This decision will leave you with one of two side effects: Regretful or Rewarded.
Once you give up your virginity, you can never get it back. Wait until you are married! That statement is not tacky or out-dated. You are not a dork or stupid if you are a virgin! Nowadays, if you are a virgin, it feels like you are a rare gem, like you are the only one out there. But you are not alone! I can name you hundreds of people I know who are virgins and others who waited until marriage. This world offers lies to women all over the world. Not everyone is doing it. Most of the people you know at school who say they have had sex, are lying. They say that to feel cool and so they can be accepted when in reality, they just want to fit in. When you get married, you are not going to be thinking about all the people at your school who made fun of you for being a virgin. No, you are going to be thinking about how glad you are that you actually waited for your husband. Look ahead to the future. Don’t keep your focus on your situation right now. Ask yourself, “How will this affect me in the long run?” Do you want to have that talk with your future husband about how many pieces of your heart you have given away? Do you want to admit to your future husband that you did not wait for him? Sex is not awesome outside of marriage. 
If you are leaning more towards having sex with your boyfriend, just say no. It will cut out a lot of heartache and consequences that you don’t need to experience. Here is a question to ask yourself, “Would you rather cry because you lost him, or cry because he used you?”
