Why Premarital Sex Is Dangerous
Premarital sex is defined as sexual activities conducted out of marriage. It was generally considered a taboo in almost all cultures in the world before 1960. But it has since then become generally more acceptable especially in western societies. The rational question one would ask is why was it not acceptable in the past, and why should it continue to be considered so.
Consider breastfeeding for example, the brain releases oxytocin. This hormone oxytocin allows the baby get the milk from the breast, fosters love between mother and child, and nurtures a strong emotional bond up to points that mothers are willing to lay their lives for their kids to survive. This hormone oxytocin plays a great deal in making this happen. But what is the relationship between premarital sex and this hormone? Brilliant question and the answer is simple, this same hormone is released during sexual intercourse and it helps increase the bonds between married couples.
But wait, I just said married couples, so if sexually partners are not married, it simply increases the bond between them, a bond that would in the end be broken. So understand that having sex before marriage leads to the production of this hormone in women to increase the relationship bond. And one of the important reasons why it is difficult to break up relationships that are sexually attached is because this hormone is already active. So if this hormone is released for women, is it also released in men?
This same hormone is released in men and do the same thing. So beyond the joy you have while having premarital sex, you are setting yourself up for breakups that might not make you the same person for life. And while having premarital sex for the first time, you have a rush of dopamine and oxytocin, which helps process your partner’s facial system and their voices so that you are bonded to that face and voice during sex. And when next you have premarital sex with another person, you are physically with one person, but your brain is seeking to find another person.
And the more you change partners, the more your brain seeks to find the first person you started out with, and as such, the less you are aroused to the initial level you were at. If the next partner does not get you to the initial level which he/she would never will, you feel less satisfied and continue to seek partners that would get you to the initial level, a level you would never attain. So you run through life looking for something you would never find.
So in seeking to discuss the dangers of premarital sex, it is important to understand that it is not only a morally wrong issue, it is something that changes your hormonal balance and makes you a person who will never be able to reach a certain level of hormonal release you once achieved. So no matter how much you want to have premarital sex, understand that you can wait and have it the right time when you would have the highest return on your waiting rather than rushing into it now. Yes, you might feel good now, but you would never have the same feeling when you meet with another partner who you get married to in the future.
No matter how the world views premarital sex now, it is still a morally wrong thing to do. Would you consider that your son, daughter, future husband or wife partake in premarital sex? The obvious answer for a rational being is NO, and why would you put another person’s son or daughter in the same situation.
May God continue to bless and guide us all aright and also make us see wrong things as wrong and also see what is right as the right thing to do. Do have a wonderful day and God Bless.
