Essay / Sex Before Marriage - 1270
Sex Before MarriageSex before marriage is a huge problem in today's society. People everywhere don't wait until they're married to have sex. People who have sex today are not aware of the consequences that come with it. They just think it's fun and there's nothing but pleasure in having sex. Some people tend to have a lot of sex. They say they do it for the satisfaction. They believe sex is fun. From childhood, it is seen as a good thing. In elementary school, kids always talked about the day they were going to have sex. They were impatiently waiting for it. Where did they get the idea that sex was such a good thing is a question that needs to be asked? Movies, maybe. The magazines you see when going through the drawers of an older brother, an uncle or a father. Sex is omnipresent in society. You can't watch cable TV without seeing people kissing intimately, or even having sex. Just because cable doesn't show full nudity doesn't mean it's best to let an eight year old watch a TV show full of sex. In today's society, women are not held to the same standards as men when it comes to having sex. Now that the reasons why people have sex have been somewhat discussed and have been brushed aside, let's talk about the consequences that come with it, like AIDS. This is a deadly virus that kills the immune system. A person never dies from the virus itself. She dies from illnesses that she otherwise would not have contracted if she still had a strong immune system. The immune system does not die slowly and it takes at least five years for the immune system to finally collapse. A person can die from a common cold if they have contracted the AIDS virus. They start cold as usual, but it keeps getting worse. People suffer before they die from this disease. This disease has killed millions of people. This virus is contracted through exchange of bodily fluids. Sex is the main way this virus spreads. What people don't realize is that this disease is fatal and by having sex before marriage and not being monogamous, they too can contract this disease..
