Clothed in nothing but white, the classic color of purity, the bride holds flowers that cost daddy a fortune and nervously anticipates the biggest night in her life.
It’s her wedding day, the day some girls dream of their whole lives. It’s a day when two become one, followed by a night that used to be reserved for exchanging the best wedding gift anyone could ask for-virginity.
Fantasies of being a bride fill my mind. Friends say I’m obsessed with the thought of getting married, and they are probably right. Maybe it’s the look I get in my eyes when I watch Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey on “Newlyweds.”
But something in today’s society saddens me. Marriage seems to be turning into a corrupt business arrangement, and sex has lost its value.
The world is driven by sex; it is everywhere. Critics say sex is what sells and unfortunately, they’re right.
The hottest theme in college is “Girls Gone Wild.” Students studying in this era of “generation sex” are going to extremes without little thought for the consequences.
What breaks my heart is seeing young women throw their bodies at men as a way to solidify companionship. People are using sex to fill a temporary need for friendship.
You might as well call Isla Vista a fish market-open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for all males to fish for the catch of the day, a fine lady to take home for the night.
It is time for a revolution in this sex-driven age.
Virginity is the most precious gift one can give, and unlike more material things, it is irreplaceable.
One can own a house, and then go bankrupt and it is lost. A wife can say she owns her diamond wedding ring until it falls off her finger and she loses it. Your viginity is the one thing that will always be yours, that no-one can ever take from you until you wish it so.
Virginity is a gift given once: only once, to one person, and only one person. Sex is designed to unite two people, a unique bond that no one can break or ever take back.
Today, people want what they want and they want it now. We throw patience out the window when dealing with raging hormones, and of course the entertainment media does everything in their power to egg us on.
I want to believe that sex isn’t the most important part of a relationship. A strong foundation to a lasting partnership is not built solely on sex, but the media tells us that sex is the ultimate way to maintain a picture-perfect relationship.
Everyone longs for true love, an emotion that is selfless, not self-seeking. Sex should be an act of love and giving. In college, the one-night-stand is becoming increasingly popular, yet couldn’t sex mean so much more if they waited?
People are free to engage in sex at whatever point in their lives that they choose. I just don’t think that time should be before one is married.
Sex should be saved for someone special. I always thought sex was supposed to be something beautiful, but in today’s society, it is hardly a romantic act.
I encourage women to discover a respect for themselves and their bodies that is priceless, something no man can take away. And it is time men uncover an entirely new respect and image of women, despite what the media says.
Everyone has his or her own moral standards, but until someone can tell me one good reason why sex should be had before marriage then I will continue to wait for my wedding night. And that really will bring us closer together.
