If I have sex before marriage will I be forever condemned by God?Will I go to hell?Will I be a bad person?

I am a born again Christian in my mid 20s.I'm still a virgin and I'm still not married surprisingly.I am starting to worry if I will ever get married.i'm 26 and still not taken.I want to experience sex, but I have no husband still. I don't want to die a virgin. I am even questioning getting pregnant out of wedlock.I really want children and I don't want to be an old unmarried lady with no children.I want to experience pregnancy.I want children really badly, but I want to have them out my body and i also want to adopt. SInce taking this human sexuality class this quarter, I have been really asking if I will be a bad person if I lose my virginity before marriage? I don't want to die a virgin and I'm still not married at the age of 26. I am human and I get desires.I know about birth control and contraceptives.I have learned a lot about female condoms in the human sexuality course.My parents want me to start keeping male and female condoms on me in case I get tempted. Will I go to hell just because I have sex before marriage? Will I be a bad person? What if I don't get married, I'm supposed to just sit here and be a virgin and die a virgin like Queen Elizabeth did? I want to experience sex. I get desires,esp. around my monthly cycle.My hormones be talking.I also want children.I don't want to die a single childless woman.What if no man comes along, can I get artificially inseminated? I want to experience pregnanty.Everyone seems to be having

Obviously you're not a born-again Christian because you certainly don't understand the rules of the game. Sex before marriage - NO. Children out of wedlock - NO. Eternal hell and damnation - YES.

Come on KammyKate . . . a real Christian would tell you you're being tempted by the devil. I tell you you're human in a world where religion has no meaning, credibility or purpose any more except to incite wars between people who believe differently.

Sex can be a beautiful experience, but don't think about this in terms of religion. I have told many young women the same thing from the Doctor Leon site - http://www.drleons.com - "Your first time is a precious and intimate gift you can only give to a man once in your lifetime."

I would hope you are mature enough to realize and understand that. When things are right and you finally meet the right man for a more permanent long-term relationship, it would be sad if you spend the rest of your time with that special man feeling guilty and ashamed because you gave the most precious gift you have to someone else before him.

Yes, everybody seems to be doing it and I assure you a large number of those people doing it will at some time in the future wish they had not done it when they did.

You are definitely undergoing a battle of the wills with your raging hormomes, but you seem to be considering sex as an enticement to trap a man into a long term relationship. Very bad idea. Not because you will go to hell . . . both you, I and quite honestly everyone else knows that is a croc . . . but because most women as "hot to trot" as you appear to be generally find themselves "used" by a succession of men who want nothing more than a "score." I think you want more than that.

Take cold showers, buy a "toy" or two and hold on to your most precious gift (no pun intended) until you meet a man who can earn your trust and intimacy with his own gift of adoration and devotion for life. A dream . . . maybe, but if you can believe in a fantasy like god, maybe you should believe your dream of the "right" guy can come true too.
