Why do girls have sex before marriage? The bottom line is self control. Girls get pressure from their peers, society, and boyfriends to have sex before getting married. Here are 8 ways for girls to avoid having sex before getting married.
1. I can say no: My boyfriend will have to accept my boundaries. If not, I will find another boyfriend that can love me and show me respect. Don't give anyone permission to have sex with you.
3. Don't believe what you see on television and at the movies. Sex is not to be given away like bag of candy.
4. Avoid putting yourself in situations where it is difficult to say no to sex. Don't be alone with a guy in a car, at home, or outside at night unsupervised. Temptation is hard to overcome.
5. Know your limit on alcohol or drugs. The right thing to say is "don't to drugs". Never get intoxicated to where you start making poor decisions.
6. Find an older female mentor or friend. It pays to have someone that will hold you accountable for your actions and decisions. An adult woman can sympathize with a young girl's hormonal changes and offer ways to cope with the changes.
7. Set a limit or boundary of how far you are willing to go physically with the opposite sex. Knowing when to say no or stop will offer confidence for saying no to sex.
8. Don't worry about having sex until you get married. Give the cycle of life time to work. Have fun and enjoy all the other things in life. Understand that the opportunity to have sex can wait and will be waiting until the right time.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)I totally agree with what you have written - there is a reason that the Word says to wait and it isn't because God is a great cosmic killjoy in the sky - it is because he created us individually and he created the beautiful becoming "one flesh" of sex within marriage with protections in place and long term in mind. I have also written various pieces on this subject. There are many, many valid reasons - not the least of which is the emotional cost of "casual" sex. Well written!
