Better yet, a simple, sincere look with the eyes, and a simple smileseebs said:A hint: If you're any good, a gentle kiss on the hand is foreplay... or can be, anyway.

Wait, wasn't this a scene in the 'Wizard of Oz'?
I would advise dating couples not to do anything with each other that they would be feel wrong doing in front of a minister or their parents.
I think you lean towards more of a hedonist than an athiest.The Bellman said:A "screwed" world, when a young man wants to have sex? No, a natural world. That's how we are built.
Okay, how does your friend fooling around with his girlfriend effect society? Just curious. Now, in your defense, I think it was very inconsiderate for this young man to engage in such acts with his girlfriend with other people in the room. Sheesh, even when me and my high school sweetheart were desparate to have sex, we would never do it with others supposedly sleeping five feet away from us. We always tried to keep what we did private. This is a tricky subject. You feel, wholeheartedly, that what your friend is doing is wrong. You want to confront him in hopes that he will see this your way. He is already convinced that he will not wait until marriage to have sex and he's already engaging in sexual acts that you deem inappropriate and sinful and yet he feels it's a-okay. You want to get him to understand. I say, don't waste your time. Your friend having sex with his girlfriend, so long as you don't have to witness it, does not effect your life one iota, my friend. It's not going to ruin your life if your friend has sex. You can't be his spiritual babysitter this time. You may have to grit your teeth or pray to yourself about this "sin" he is committing (I use quotation marks as I, personally, do not consider it a sin). If your friend was dealing drugs or stealing stuff from the school, then I could understand an intervention. Those acts are illegal and harmful. Pre-marital sex (unless it's rape or the girl or guy is under the legal age of consent) is not illegal and most of the time it doesn't hurt anybody. Don't buy the lies they tell you in youth group to "scare" you out of having sex. I'm not saying that if you feel it's a sin then you're being lied to so go out and get you some. If you choose to wait then that is certainly your choice. I hope that you succeed in your endeavor.And Challenger,I care what my friends are doing, or what may affect society later on.
Is there? Do you have a link to one of those studies?CZzyzx41 said:....
So why is there a higher divorce rate when the couple has either had sexual relations or lived with each other prior to getting married? It doesn't make sense.

Well, at 14, why waste time bragging when you may not be believed, why not just purposely do it with a witness present so when you do brag, you can say "go ask Joe, HE was there". Seems more like a "hey, look what we're doing" kind of thing. Some who would be in a situation like that may even want to join his friend with the girl. Or maybe that's at 16, I don't know.euphoric23 said:Okay, how does your friend fooling around with his girlfriend effect society? Just curious.

"The general accepted belief in the psychological community is that couples who live together prior to marriage, (engaged couples leading up to marriage together the last month or so are not included in this figure) experience 2X the failure rate of the relationship, and if they marry, are 2.5 times more likely to divorce."MQTA said:Is there?
