One of the things that have attributed to this is the pressure and misunderstanding of one's own emotions regarding the situation.
One's feeling of falling in love is a beautiful and pleasurable thing. It can lead to a long-term relationship built upon love. However, it can also lead to premature bonding that can have negative effects on both parties.
Three effects of premature bonding are physical in nature, and may have an effect on each person's life. One is pregnancy. God created sex so that the mutual love of two people may also lead to the creation of a new individual. The increase of premarital sex has led to a significant increase in unwanted pregnancies, especially among teenagers. This increase in the premarital pregnancy rate has positive correlation with the increase in the second effect, abortions, which destroys the life of the.
developing fetus as well as traumatizing the mother and/or the father. The third effect is possible transmission of an STD, which do effect the life and the future relationships of an individual.
Four other effects of premature bonding are emotional in nature. The feelings of being in love may be mistaken for feelings of total commitment, lead to premarital sex, then results in the formation of the other three emotional effects. Sexual intercourse clouds the individuals judgement about the relationship in that it creates the pressure to keep it going even though it may be unhealthy or unhappy. When the expectations for a long-term relationship are irrational, it sets persons up for later hurt. Engaging in sexual intercourse artificially speeds up the development of intimacy, and physical intimacy begins to substitute all others.
There are two views regarding premarital sex that are held by society. Both of these can be explained by a "double standard."" One view is that it is not taboo to have sex, which is in large part a result of the media.
