      Saving you trouble in the long run. Get married and then have sex.

        bruh i think you’re making a mistake here.

        you’re wrongly assuming that people have sex to make children, hence they should wait till after marriage to get financial stability.

        but that is not the case at all. humans are very social animals, and just like we have re-purposed our mouth and throat to speak and communicate, instead of just swallowing food, we have also re-purposed our sexuality as a form of communication, to exchange personality. that is why it is an important part of human life, even in the absence of wanting to make children.

        Then why would you wait till after marriage?

          Yes, this is why sex exists.

          humans are very social animals

          Which is why marriage as an institution has been fundamental to every major civilization since prehistory.

          We have also re-purposed our sexuality as a form of communication

          We have done nothing new or innovative. It’s all been done before.

          that is why it is an important part of human life

          I never said it wasn’t.

          Then why would you wait till after marriage?

          Because you do all those things with someone you’ve come to know and love without sex involved. You’ve made a lifelong commitment to each other out of love and appreciation for each other without being distracted or swayed. This commitment to each other and to purity means a loyal and healthy partner you can enjoy and raise children with. In the end, because I’m sure this is what you care most about, the sex will be better too.
