Certainly there are strong theological arguments for saving sex for marriage but all sound theology is based on sound philosophy. Taking a phenomenological approach, it’s easy to see from our human experience and the laws of nature that there are good reasons for waiting until marriage!

Understanding what the beautiful gift of sexuality really is and observing the pain it causes to individuals and families when sex is not properly oriented towards its natural end can supply a non-religious basis for choosing to save sex until marriage.
