Premarital sex

Premarital sex is what happens when people who have not yet got married hump each other. The sex drive is so strong that it happens. It always happened.

In Britain before the 20th Century young unmarried girls from the upper clases and middle classes were not allowed out without a chaperone. Nothing less drastic could protect their virtue ensure they remained virgins till they became the property of their husbands. Upper class boys were allowed out on their own. They were expected to get sexual experience with lower class women and respect the purity of girls from their own class. In Europe and America unmarried girls who became pregnant were often turned out of their family home without support. That discouraged the practise further. Meanwhile those men who wanted to misbehave with their own class went with married women. They were less carefully guarded and it didn’t matter if they got pregnant.

Without drastic measures like those cited above premarital sex will always happen. Teaching Abstinence only doesn’t work. When young people have the freedom to go out and meet attractive partners sex happens. Abstinence only education just ensures a high rate of extra marital pregnancy and/or abortion.
