, 05:17, December 10, 2008prototype for addressing controversial issue from a conservative perspective
'''Premarital sex''' is the act of engaging in physical intimacy before [[marriage]]. Although frequently glamorized in the [[media]] and on [[television]], premarital sex in fact carries a number of dangerous risk factors.
For one, premarital sex is explicitly forbidden by [[Bible|scripture]], where it is spoken of as "fornication" (Cor. 6:13,<ref>"[T]he body is not for fornication."</ref> Cor. 6.9-10<ref>"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."</ref>). Abstaining from sex until marriage is also part of maintaining the sanctity of marriage. Additionally, premarital sex can lead to [[pregnancy]] or sexually transmitted diseases. The only 100% certain way of preventing either outcome is abstinence.
A number of support groups exist to encourage abstinence until marriage, including the [[Silver Ring Thing]]<ref>http://www.silverringthing.com/</ref> and True Love Waits.<ref>http://www.lifeway.com/tlw/</ref>
