Of course it was never evil, but "in the olden days" it was considered not the correct thing to do. In the 19th century if a girl fell pregnant out of wedlock she was condemned and her baby was called a "bastard", luckily now a days that is not the case. Most couples today now live with each other after they fall in love, some might get married, others will just live together and raise children as if they were married. Sometimes it saves them money if they are not married.
Things considered 'evil' are things that make you shackled in life or things that increase your desires with the likelihood of addiction. Nothing is inherently evil
"Less evil"? Are you asking whether people are generally more accepting of it now? Or are you seriously asking if its blasphemous wickedness has declined.
I am asking as it has been historically. In the old days, for example, before contraception, every act of intercourse outside marriage carried a substantial possibility of ending in pregnancy. For women, the consequences of pregnancy out of wedlock were life shattering: disgrace, the loss of any hope of a good marriage, economic and social marginalization. It was very foolish and wicked for young girls to place themselves and their families at risk of all this for a moments’ pleasure; it was much worse for young men to attempt to persuade and cajole girls they did not plan to marry into sex. Young men who behaved in this way attracted the deserved moral censure of the community, and parents were vigilant to protect their daughters from unscrupulous seducers.
Premarital sex under these circumstances was not just a moral crime against God’s law; it was a selfish act of personal gratification that endangered the well being and happiness of whole families.
If we add to that the devastating consequences of sexually transmitted diseases in the era before antibiotics made them treatable, premarital sex becomes an even more dubious phenomenon. Insanity, death, sterility, defective offspring: unchastity brought all these consequences in its wake. The casual seducer who infected a young woman with syphilis might be condemning her, her unborn children and her future husband to madness and death.
Well obviously casual sex has traditionally been considered fiscally and morally reprehensible, and has become more acceptable with the advent of contraception, secularism, and modern medicine. But why do you need a poll for a historical pattern that I don't think anyone would deny? And why would you use the term "evil" if you're not talking about personal morality?
And you sound ignorant, because all the stuff that the poll creator said actually happened.
No, it is not less "evil." It was never "evil" in my opinion. It is just more accepted.
I think that sex is becoming more random and carefree than it's ever been - especially with fetishes. Society's getting dulled down and more liberal, certainly. When nothing I read or see shocks me anymore, we've gotten pretty.........ballsy.
on the other hand, people are doing whatever they want. when people are more selfish and self motivated it doesn't really help anyone else. i think that because of all the new freedoms people are getting sloppy. they don't really know how to behave because civility went out the window.
Im not sure why you got downvoted, I think this is a very good point. Its good to be free and open and radical self reliance is a fantastic concept, but we're social creatures and everyone benefits from a community of people who are civil and help their neighbor.
I find it perfectly fine. Although, lesbian sex isn't really sex. There has to be some sort of stabbing into a vagina, right?
Were you guys all raped for real? Absolutely horrible...still can't wrap my head around it
No its not in any way to offend you i thought you were a guy because you said you had a girlfriend but when you said im a lesbian i knew you were a girl and no worries i have respect for lesbians i myself wouldn't mind watching two lesbians making out now that would be hot ;)
When you think evil, it is because you have degraded yourselves to a point where you identify yourself with an image and an attitude that suits the evil you wish to carry out for temperary 'benefit', you attach yourself to that heedless bent of mind to such an extent that you ignore and deny the Truth to adapt your principles to find sleazy dreams as acceptable, but your actions will bring fruit, think of the same evil you condone or maybe even promote happening to the aspects that are divine, like your own daughter, if you still feel its okay, you are so fallen i cant see you being even close to being saved from sure damnation.
Don't do unto others what you dont want done to you
When you behave like a fool among fools and absorb the evil ideas and brainwashing spread everywhere
You do it because you are away from the light
Because it is NOT you losing out
... in your eyes anyway ( an illusion )
Fact: Your ruining your own life if you violate another, and it will return to your life many times over, If you are a happy and gay 'consenting couple' then either your both influenced by evil and the urge for a fullfillment of your sad little chemical reactions or you truly may be in the path of being 'in love'
If it is so ...then get married,stop shitting yourselves, Sex is Marriage.
If you want to be another classic character of tragedy and misery, then go ahead take decisions in your life like a moth flies into a flame
Its definitely evil and anyone who does it is gonna burn for eternity in hell.
Sex has and never will change over the years. Things happen, oh well, there you go. Same as a long time ago accept there is less laws and discrimination against.
ohhhh.... well..... It has changed because I dont know, I you would die in the Medieval times lol
Keep cool man
It was never 'evil' in the first place. It's all natural, humans are known to be very sexual creatures. Of course there are risks like STDs and unwanted pregnancy but that doesn't make it evil.
Nope. There is a reason pre marital sex leads to STD's. Premarital sex is evil, it is a fact, deal with it.
Yeah, sex is still evil today. Don't have sex because you will get pregnant and die.
No it is exactly the same. People just do not care as much about who they have sex with anymore. Screw your mom, screw your sister, screw your dog, hell screw at 12 it don't matter. Also most teenagers are too dumb to understand love and sex is not the same thing. Why they tell you to wait.
Disgusting perverted child killers/preditors and rapists are evil not 2 people making love, reguardless of their marital status. We are living in the 21st century not the 19th. xx
The only people who think sex before marriage is wrong are ignorant religious people and close minded people now sex is natural doesn't matter wether you fuck in a jungle a car a tunnel a car wash a museum before or after marriage it doesn't fucking matter.
