Premarital Sex Essay
Premaritalà sexà isà somethingà whichà almostà everyoneà knowsà about. Someà proudlyà proclaims that they engage inà while others do ità secretly. However, there areà still some who do it but are unaware of such term. Different people view it differently: for some itââ¬â¢s acceptableà whileà forà someà itââ¬â¢sà aà bigà sin. Atà present,à thereà isà nà increasingà amountà ofà discussions in newspaper and magazines in which various things attributed to premarital sex are discussed. It is said that theà Philippines is facing this persistent challenge about premarital intercourse. Since sex is involved, this is certain to produce a number of strong reactions. Nevertheless, it is important to be careful in making such reactions. Sex is an intimate act between individuals which includes genital contact ( Baumerà and South, 2001). Accordingly, it was designed for married couples to enjoy, hence the famous quote: ââ¬Å"True love waits until marriage. â⬠The norms of Philippine society say that it is not normal or it is immoral to engage in premarital sex, but despite this, people just cannot wait until they get wedded. This accounts for the prevalence of premarital sex in the country. At present, one can say that itââ¬â¢s normal to know people who had sex already. But whatââ¬â¢s alarming is the rapid growth of the number of people who had sex before marriage . Different researches show the rise of this number. In the last century, only a few, if not zero, gave themselves to premarital sex. This information if compared to present data would give anà overwhelmingà difference. Statisticsà in 2008à showed thatà premarital sexà was prevalent in30% ofà the Filipinos. This figured isà actually smallà when compared toà western countries. In the USA, 75% of the women would say that they already experienced premarital sex when theyà reachedà theà ageà ofà nineteen. However,à ità wouldà notà seemà rightà toà compareà aà less developed country like the Philippines to far way more urbanized and liberal countries in the west. The figure 30% is, in fact, a very high number, taking to account the nature of Filipinos. Nevertheless, these data only show that attitudes towards sex have changed dramatically overà the past years
