Good or bad?

I know it is good. It feels good right? The movies say so, the books mention it, and even songs are making it look awesome. So what is wrong with sex? After all, it is an activity that actually will prolong your life. The cardiovascular workout during sex parallels that of intense sprinting. The emotions and sensations experienced are addictive even.
Yet when sex carried out before marriage is generally frowned upon. No one dares to talk about it openly, at least not in Singapore. The religions are clearly also not in favour of such intimacy before the wedding bells ring.
I tend to fall into the camp of the conservatives. Moral values are guidelines set to preserve the good of the general population. It is indeed moral not to engage in sex before marriage. After all, sex without the safeguards of marriage are not without disadvantages. Starting sex at an early age is a proven risk factor for cervical and prostate cancer. Mentally, the parties involved might not be mature enough. There is also the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Even pregnancy is viewed as one by many teenage mothers.
Marriage generally comes when both parties are mature enough and have the financial ability to support a family. The reason for sex after marriage is the same. There is also the emotional baggage. Some notable headlines are hogged by jealous jilted lovers who expose the sexual details of a relationship after a breakup. It can lead to embarrassment and castigation for the victim. The aunties at the market never stop talking about it. It even japordizes future relationships.
No protection is ever 100%. Becoming pregnant before marriage has become a common parody on serial dramas. That is because the drawbacks are obvious.9 months of pregnancy from 90 minutes of pleasure. The unwed mother has to juggle work and baby while bearing the stigma associated from being one. Somehow the guy always disappears. It will all be well and good if the guy takes responsibility, unless he is mentally or financially uncapable of supporting a family which is usually the case.
Abortion leaves behind mental and physical scars. Not to mention that it conflicts with virtually all known religions. Yes, including scientology.
Lastly, sex after marriage is good. Heavenly even. After all, saving the best for the last makes it really tantalizing. It might even strengthen a relationship knowing that both parties have saved themselves for each other. The converse might be true also.
Well, you can even plan for it after marriage. It is known as family planning. No one casts weird glance at you when you talk about family planning. So forget about the one night stands and giving in to your boyfriend's demands. If he really loves you, he will wait for you.
