No guilt about sex. At all.

I wasn't exactly feeling guilty for religious reasons, as much as I was for the simple fact that my parents would've been disappointed in me, and I lost my virginity at 15. The guilt I felt was from that, not from the religious standpoint, although the reason my mom was so adamant about me not having sex until after marriage was because of her religion. I, on the other hand, am under a separate religion, which doesn't focus on going against pre-marital sex.

Why should there be guilt??? God does not have anything to do with my sex life!

Other: Actually, I felt regret that I had not chosen better before having sex, and I thought at the time that if i had chosen a path where I would have gotten married, I would have skipped a lot of bad experiences, but I might not be who I am now.

No guilt though.

I've never felt guilty about it.. but I'm also not religious.

My religion doesn't attach shame or guilt to sex before marriage. I knew that I loved the person I was with, and that was all I needed to make the decision.

I am a Christian so when I lost my virginity I knew it was wrong, the wrong time, the wrong person, the wrong age, the wrong everything! I still did it because the guy told me I was too scared and when it came down to it, I was. I didn't want to, but felt like I'd look so stupid if I said no. Thing is, I didn't know how stupid I really was for NOT saying no. It was just a huge stupidity on my part. Lol. My partner and I have been together for 5 years now so I honestly do not feel wrong doing it since we are monogamous, have a relationship with God, have a healthy Christian relationship and are 100% totally committed to only each other. I don't think God sees a piece of paper and a ring on your finger as your right to sex. I think it has everything to do with the relationship. We still are waiting to move in together though because of many things including the fact I'm still in school. Sounds weird, but I have never found a thing in the bible about that specific paper meaning a couple is married. To us, we believe we are married in God's eyes. We may be wrong, but until we learn other wise... We prefer waiting to make live in our house until we're married because that is what we want and to set a good example for the kids and because I need to finish school before we take that on. Plus our house got the roof torn off in the tornado! Lol so we can't move in until that's fixed. Anyways, I try to follow what the bible says. I don't lie, steal (usually! Lol I'm JK!) or kill very often. Lol. I'm only kidding, but I do try to live by God's word.

Many religious views are outdated and not applicable in our society. Plus how do truly please your loved one without practicing? How do you truly know you or they are doing it right?

i think everyone experiments when there young. nothing to feel guilty about, one of those "everybody does it" things. but, as you get older you learn from that! (well some people do) i haven't had many partners & don't feel guilty about my past. although, i wouldn't say that i'm proud that i didn't wait for the right one. i do think it would have been more special if i had of waited. but, you never know when the right one comes along until you have them!(i have him now ) i will marry this one with 100% happiness! i also don't think there's anything wrong with sex before marriage. (i wouldn't say the same for sleeping around) but if you actually care about somebody then that should be your choice, no judgement!

Never felt guilty. Gotta try it before you buy it. I think that not allowing couples to have sex before marriage is just dooming them for failure. Which isn't allowed by the Bible either. Forgive me for paraphrasing.

No guilt about sex. Religious or otherwise.

There's nothing in the Bible about not having sex. Or sex being wrong. The Songs of Solomon are about sex. In Genesis people had plenty of sex without marriage. (Who was it who met a woman and just took her into the brush and made love to her? One of the Patriarchs, if I'm not mistaken. I believe the woman's name was Rebecca. I forget his name. He just saw her, told her he loved her and they made love in the dirt. Nobody got upset about it. That tells me it was a common occurrence.

People have sex. Why would and all powerful being get upset about two consenting pleasuring each other? HOW could that be wrong? EVER?

What churches "say" and what the actual Word is are often very different.

no guilt here, but I'm also not very religious.

I had sex because I didn't want to wait for marriage. . . also because I don't plan on getting married so there really wasn't any reason not to. Plus I don't have a religion.

I went to Catholic school so I was pretty much brainwashed to feel guilty about being sexual. I got over that quickly when I went to college.

My religion sees all acts of love and joy to be how you worship the Gods.. and this includes sex.

Often religions that place negative views of sex in their followers also place far too much emphesis on virginity. Virginity is made too big a deal of and waiting untill marriage almost always guarentees a divorse once the couple discovers how much they don't have in common in bed. The only reason divorse is higher then 40 years ago when most women did wait till marriage is because they were stuck in that marriage by the same religious doctrin that made them wait.

I've never felt guilty about sex! I refuse to allow anything to make me feel guilty about enjoying my pleasure.

when i first had sex, i felt super guilty. after coming to terms with my religious beliefs, i no longer feel guilty, just pleasured.

anyone else ever feel like this?

We're both non-religious, and I feel no guilt. His parents are strict Catholics, so I think that weighs in on him once and a while though.
