Question:
Is sex harmful before marriage? Can sex help to shape figure?
Answer:
Premarital Sex Precautions
There is no specific study which can say that sex can help in improving the shape and contour of the body. However, sex is a kind of exercise which helps burn down several calories.
Sexual intercourse is not harmful in adults. However sexual intercourse before the age of 16 years especially among girls can cause problems, as the organs are still not mature enough to take the stress of sexual activity.
- Ensure that both the partners use the right contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant, especially if sex is for pleasure.
- Use condoms (for males) or diaphragms (for females) in order to avoid sexually transmitted diseases like HIV, Hepatitis-B, Syphilis, etc
If the above precautions are taken, sexual intercourse doesn’t have any risks.
With regards to having sex prior to marriage, it is purely an ethical and moral decision. If you are comfortable with it, go ahead. However, it is important that you don’t indulge in sexual activity prior to marriage due to pressure from your partner, as there is a great possibility of psychological stress and depression, if you two subsequently separate. This decision is purely yours and it is important that you make the decision with a clear mental frame.
