Bible Sex

What does the bible has to say about premarital sex?

Are there written texts pertaining to premarital sex in the bible?
As far as I can remember, Solomon got some goodies and it was indeed written in the bible.
Or maybe I'm just gifted in thinking in a green way but even my high school teacher mentioned it.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
   I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
   the fragrance of your breath like apples,
It can be found here

The first time i heard it, I said to my seatmate, "did he (teacher) just said that?" I thought I was hearing things but yes indeed our teacher said it and he was a Christian Living teacher. I was shocked about the scripture. On one hand the bible teaches non doing adultery, on the other hand, Solomon fondles himself with breasts that taste like grape wine. That sweet!



Of course we all know that Solomon wasn't married to anyone. He found a naked lady on the lake and started to amuse themselves. Only your imagination can see that it was Pre Marital Sex they're doing. That's adultery Solomon! How could you?... Was it good?

Sexy!

From then on, I often point to this book when people, usually young singles, ask me about relationships and pre-marital sex. They want to know, where, exactly, does the Bible talk about pre- or extra-marital sex, when neither partner is married. They know about the adultery prohibitions, and they agree — you shouldn't have sex with someone who is someone else's spouse. But where does it talk about not having sex if there is no spouse involved? You have two consenting adults, and neither has made any vow to any other person, so it's not technically adultery. What's wrong with that? Does the Bible speak to those situations?

Keep in mind, I say, that in biblical times there just wasn't a whole lot of sex taking place before marriage, since people married at such young ages, and there just wasn't much time between reaching the age of sexual maturity and marriage. Most of the sex taking place was after marriage, either with your spouse, which was good, or not with your spouse, which was prohibited, and that's why there's more talk about adultery than pre-marital sex. We wrestle with this issue more now because the time span between reaching the age of sexual maturity and marriage has bumped up a decade or two since biblical times.

I also add that we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation were it not for birth control, especially the "pill," and if abortions were not so easy to obtain. Without birth control and abortion, sex would mean a greater likelihood of raising babies, and raising babies would mean commitment, and commitment would mean marriage. That's life in biblical times, so the question itself didn't get much discussion in a world where sex and babies went together much more than they do in our time.

Shit's crazy during Jesus' era. No offense on Him but some people just can't resist the urge for sex. Bible or no bible, PMS is always present.

Hello CBCP. You're lifelong study is a hoax. Church is a lie. Faith is enough. No need for church people.
