    » Hello Mr. Rooster ; I moved this discussion to this more appropriate thread. Mr. Rooster wrote : "People are like animals, and their sexual drives will involve some types of pre-marital sex. So prostitution will be there to provide needed service. " The sexual urge is indeed extraordinarily powerful,...

    • Anonymous commented : Hello AyNot. Thanks for your post. Not exactly sure what you mean my "mature". For most people this is an illusion, a dream, a mirage for a thirsty traveler. We have put this stumbling block in our own path ourselves. For thousands of years people have been getting married when they were "immature". This is exactly the point. Another cut from a Thai search engine. "Thai teenagers shun condoms" AFP Thailand’s teenagers are shunning the use of condoms in an alarming trend, the health ministry warned yesterday as it called for more campaigns to encourage their use for protection against diseases like HIV-Aids. A survey of 350 teenage boys in northeastern Kalasin province found that only 24 percent of them regularly used condoms as they believed it was safe to sleep with someone they knew, it said in a statement. The survey also found that the average age of boys having sex for the first time had dropped from 16 years of age in 1998 to 14 years, due at least partly to their exposure to a more permissive society." This dream of maturity sounds good in theory, but is not easily achieved (I would say impossible to achieve). If you do not allow young people to get married, then they WILL have premarital sex. They will do it in secret (due mostly to the parents forbidding it) and therefore be on their own, chose completely inappropriate partners, bond and then break up (or get ripped apart by our society). The first break up is the worst, crying and not eating for a week, it gets easier every time after that (less of your heart gets ripped out). Then bond again, break up again, listen to their parents telling them sex is bad, yet confused by the powerful signals from their bodies. So the boy is wandering around over here getting his head and heart totally screwed up, the the girl is wandering around over there getting her head and heart totally screwed up, then then we expect them to get together after all this trauma (when they are "mature") and forget everything about the sex is bad and the break ups and the heartbreak, and love each other forever. Quite a confusing message. It's no wonder our kids are confused!! Soon they get pretty good at breaking up. So it should be no surprise when our divorce rate skyrockets. We inadvertently train our kids to be good at breaking up, and then we are surprised when they can't stay together. So after many train wrecks (and probably a few children both in and out of marriage), and inner reflection, this person makes a concious decision to make it work. Great. This type of relationship is just a shell of what if could have been, vibrancy and love replaced by pragmatism. But if this is what you mean by mature, then sorry to say, but I don't want my daughter to be "mature" when she gets married. It was never this way before for many thousands of years. Try to understand that I agree with you that sex should be saved for marriage!! The point I am trying to make is that many years ago, this was EASY!!!! People got married BEFORE their biological urges started. Then incredibly strong bonding occured, therefore few breakups, very few single people to temp the married, in short it was EASY to achieve this. Can you understand what I am saying?? The very situation everyone desires (no sex outside marriage, low divorce rate, etc.) was EASY to achieve before. It was not difficult. It was EASY!! We have arbitrarily decided that you should be "mature" before you get married. This is exactly what is causing all the problems. This is not an unsolvable problem. We have done this to ourselves. By the way all of the information you posted about age of concents is available in my very first post by clicking on the link I provided. So thanks again for your post.
