DoctorNDTV Survey: Should doctors be allowed to go on strike?

Its all about ones moral character. Even a criminal can justify his crime in a way, but that does not mean that what he is doing is right. The West has finally awakened to the bliss of virginity (teenagers in US now want to stay virgin till their marriage), which is essentially a virtue of the Indian culture. Its time that we realise the potential and virtues of our own culture and stop going astray into senseless and devastating acts such as pre-marital sex. After all, itf a dog/bitch can have sex with as many other bitches/dogs, it does not mean that we humans emulate that!

Premarital sex not a good sign in the society. India respects family value hence it should not be encouraged. Although it is not punishable under law, but it is not a healthy gesture. It may increase teen pregnancy, deceases like Aids etc.

While people should be encouraged to observe celibacy up to marriage, moral policing by the government should not be allowed. Government should not impose restrictions on sexually explicit contents in films, TV and dance in bars. Sex is the most pleasurable experience in life and is accepted so in all ages in the history of mankind. Why government elected by the people should rstrict its enjoyment by the citizen. People of the west are more correct in this. Politicians in India behave like middevial orthadox moralist?

Premarital sex ruins family life and ambitions..focus of many teenagers......It shudnt be encouraged but I think there shud be more education on this.

Earlier this term was more related with the big cities but now its a problem in small cities also. I think its the requirement for the young generation to know all about the sex well before they get married but not obviously through their own experience. As per indian culture no one can tolerate his/her partener have such past. But of course its not a crime and awareness should be there about all the effects of pre-marital sex. Young should avoid it not because its a sin but knowing the rational reasons behind avoiding it like less career orientation, poor studies, bundles of health problems etc.

I had three times.just 17 years old

If the mail & female are agree to safe relation then its OK.

Our culture teaches the best things to be followed. Pre-marital sex is a western phenomenon. Most western imports are neither good for the society or health. When they are realising it themselves, why do we have to follow them now?

there have been many living inhostels who involve in pre marital sex. the emotional stress one goes through would be reduced for people involved in such a relation if they are more equipped with information regarding sex and other related issues.

emotional sensitivity gets destroyed before marriage .female gets upsetpsychosocially. attitude may be hypocritical in india. above all these bad consequences psychiactrists can slowly brings his or her life on to normal path of life . emotional disturbances can be cured if soft attitude is adopted by the society.

India is a spritual land known for its moral & ethical values. There should be a complete ban on premarital sex as we are human beings not wild animals if the current situation prevails we will not be able to identify parents or in the broader sense our identity. Moreover premarital sex is the root cause of AIDS & other STD diseases.Media should play a greater role in curbing this menace rather than spreading it like a wild fire. It is unfortunate that Indian media has totally hurt the credibility of ethical India.

It is a personal choice. There is no need for open discussions on this as this is neither thought provoking nor time-justified discussion. The youth today are well aware of the dos and donts. Interference by law, encourgaement from anyone...both are irrelevant. And as for open discussions on the issue, it doesnt warrant it in anyway, its entirely based on personal value system.

Hello all, Pre-marital sex should not be Encouraged without specfic well defined limits. I would suggest sex education and awareness should be encouraged.

I personally think one should not brand pre marital sex as a taboo, because it happens due to full consent of both parties involved.

Its the descision that shoukld be left with the two individuals concerned.Moral policing should not be tolerated.The only thing that people should be educated about is the consequences of unprotected sex.

Premarital sex does exist in our society and this must not be encouraged. The thrill of sex after marriage is fantastic, but if all is done before marriage one will not feel the joy the love making.

It should not be discussed publicily as this is very much prevailing in our society and everyone is enjoying the same. No need to discuss the same as every one has his own reservations and reasons for all the things which we are trying to bring out and trying to create awareness.

P.remarital sex is common now not in metros or high class society but this had grown up more in middle class but it should be discourage otherwise this will destroy the society People should be educated properly for this

premarital sex should not be encouraged ...

It completely depends on an individual.The law should come into picture only if there is no mutual consent for which we have laws in place.We are a hypocritical society and things must change as we move forward.

Nothing, but it should not be discouraged.

premarital sex should be considerd normal human phenomenon,one should not ignore it, but it should be on scientific way or safeone.

You start off by discouraging premarital sex in your tv atleast and that may help a lot of young men from attempting rape. It is better to be frustrated than be desperate.

for an indian society, some basic restrictions on pre-martial sex needs to continue as it is ----but it cannot be completely eradicated in this modern age.

Its upto to them who are involved.THere is no need of third party interfearence.

As a bachelor, I would definitely encourage this. But I doubt whether married guys/girls pave the same way of thinking.

It should be avoided \because it increase unhealthy trend in our soceity besides it will also spread AIDS and STDs.

Always make a point to adopt safe measures

talking about sex related issues is fine but having physical relations before marriage is not quite acceptable nor is it safe

premarital sex should be discouraged in all respects and should be punished in public for a lesson to others.It will be a wild act.

It is a personal choice, society has no role in private lives of people.

i think its neither good or not bad. its an individual choice. everybody has a right to choose what they want. so, i think its our work to tell them.

premarital sex is extremely natural if it is perform safely, there is nothing bad in it, after all we are now living in 21 st century , it is true fact thatslowly indians are accepting premarital sex

sex is good for the soul

Young children and teens should be educated about pre-marital sex in schools to prevent unwanted pregnancies and AIDS.

need of hour is sex education in schools and involment of frak discussion among the parents

Younger generation should be given education in this context so that they are aware not only of its illeffects but also how it pollutes the society in general. It is a question of moral values and your responsibility towards the society. According to me such acts should be discouraged.

Why do you need to get married to have sex?

Premarital sex should not be encouraged, glamorised and should not be seen as something liberating. Rather it should be punishable under law so that it creates an example for others. Premarital sex is a very personal choice. If the partners are comfortable to engage into it knowing well the emotional and physical aspects and if both can handle it maturely and sensibly, then its okay. If either of the couple is emotionally not strong to live with that very guilt fact or scared or get hooked emotionally on the partner then it is better avoided. Chances of inheriting incurable diseases through casual sex is a very important aspect one cannot turn a blind eye to. Sex takes away concentration and focus among youngsters. Hence, as much as possible one should abstain until married.

premarital sex can be enjoyed with full consent of the partners and should not in such a way that may invite unnecessary trouble and be done with full protection.

Premarital Sex should be seen in the right light and people should be made aware of the pros & cons of the issue thru larger media discussion which should also advocate methods of safe sex and population control.There is lot of darkness over the issue inspite of society opening up and casual sex is becoming a more heard of topic.We also observe that we are more shifting to the methods & cultures adopted by the western developed countries considering it to be more scientific. The same is very Cancerous in nature.

Time for a change to mental block between two consenting adults

Let us not create problems for ourselves with Pre-Martial Sex. Pre-Marital Sex should be avoided.

Education in this direction to avoid curiosity be given

Premarital sex is a reality which in Urban India we have to face, As the average age of marraige is increasing, pre-marital sex is literally unavoidable. Instead of treating it as bad under over custom, we should really do something for sex education in India. India known to be cultured country has the higest no of HIV cases than anybody else(even more than china).

In India, every thing happens just as in the rest of the world, but more under cover so its not know. The current rate of HIV and AIDS cases is the best example to prove this. We are more hypocrats, as compared to the rest of the world and do not want to accept that such things are taking place all over India.

it is illegal and immoral; we have rich traidition and beliefs; respect each other but not sex; if sex is only the goal of marriage then it may be encouraged but marriage is not only sex but beyond sex there are other trivial issues to be addressed; before marriage those issues may be thought for and discussed for if possible.

look i have a opinion that THIS IS REALITY we cant run 4m this fact rite in todays society premarital sex exist so.... and i think it depends upon a individual its his choice we r no1 to comment on it so i have a opinion PREMARITIAL SEX EXIST

SEX EDUCATION is must Because of AIDS & It should be done at early school level as a part of Science study and bring Awareness at early stage

This is a normal phenomena. just like other needs. however the same should be practised under safe condition and with consent

any thing which is done with the others permission is in no way punishable under act and i dont really personally think there is anything wrong in it

Premarital sex is against of Indian Customs so it should not be encouraged.

I think it is away of life.

those who think its right shud go ahead and practice safe sex. i don really think it is something u can punish in the 21 century

why not? sex is the basis of very human existence. if the partner has mutual consent let them enjoy. why crib about it

instead we should encouraged the sex education at different levels of our school/college education

Yes premarital sex should be encouraged but the partner should be same.

Premartial sex is notonly dengereos to society butalso to whole mankind.

I am a youth of metropolition city,new delhi.There is no denying the fact that pre-marital sex does not exists in our society. Everybody do it but nobody talks about it this is the phrase which is apt to our society.All my friends whether boys or girls have greens for pre-marital sex.Everybody wants to have experince.According to me there aint any harm in it unless if one is not protected

I think pre-marital sex is more a matter of choice and personal thinking. There as always a bright and dark side to everything. It definitely exists in the modern society, but still ppl hesitate discussing it in the open. Its the so called ethics and morals of the society which prevent us from discussing such issue which actually are very much a psrt of our daily lives

people if going have allthis they only landing themsleves in big trouble . un known person

I feel it is better to be chaste or virgin until one gets married because virginity is the most valuable present that one can present to his/her spouse. Since this has been followed in India for ages together, i feel it should be continued because this strengthens the marriage bond and love relationship between husband and wife.

the trends of the modern day society and the intimate environment at their work places are giving an opportunity to indulge in premartial sex.To add to this youth is developing a feeling this indulgence is a great thing.Ofcourse,overall degradation of value system in todays society are also the reason.

this is not a good practice but the west has influenced it and we have to live with it now

Premarital sex in our society which is in transformation phase towards development will create only problems.Unless people are independent and mature enough to take care of thier personal lives it should not be encouraged

most of the time it is innocents people becoming a victim

sex is a personal decision. people are not naive and foolish and i dont think anyone can dictate terms and tell another person when and with whom they should have sex. if i feel i want to sleep with someone i will do it no matter of what someone else thinks. as long as it is consenting sex and more importantly safe sex i think its fine.

India should retain its cultural heritage, values and morality. All said than done, everyone favouring freedom towards pre-marital sex have in his back of mind (No?).

it is a purely personal matter. every grown up individual should be self responsible for it. what is necessary to teach our kids what is tright and wrong and the many deseases related to unprotected sex.

There is no way one can stop the thinking of having premarital sex in our present generations. They need to be educated on the bad effects of that, and most importantly, the effects of having unsafe sex

THE GREAT CONDOME CULTURE ARE ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE OF THIS MENACE - ANY TIME IS SEX TIME

Sex after marriage is better for both men and women

I guess just like we have right to choose our rulers, we should be given the choice of performing sex .. pre or post-marital

it is always advisable to have complete knowledge abt sex before one decide to get marry.

Its a delicate and debatable issue. People can be made aware of its existence, and after imparting an individual with options, information and wisdom, and individual should be left free to exercise his own choice.

Premarital or extramarital, it is not to be encouraged. The more we grow in terms of our worldly comforts, the basic human attitude tend of explore new way of enjoying life in all aspects, and it includes the pre- or extra-marital relationships. All these happens due to deteriorating moral values, and no fear of the society and God, and the western influence on our younger generation are too much. The feeling of no dependency on anybody is getting stronger, and the increase in ones income is also a major factor.

It is sad to say that the face of this world is changing.Pre- marital sex has become so prelavent in our country which speaks many things about morality and sacredness of marriage.people dont see anything wrong in doing it or discussing it.Very glad to say that this world with such wickedness is going to pass away very soon and a new system where only the righteous are going to live for ever.

At one time, premarital sex was almost nonexistent because the females were house-bound and also financially dependent on the husband or the father. Now, as times are changing and women become more and more independent financially and psychologically, premarital sex is a common occurrence in many cities and towns across India. It no more raises eyebrows as it once used to. Encouragement of this phenomenon is not the answer as society is based on certain rules and they should certainly be followed. Premarital sex can lead to other ills in society. Single parenting and sexually transmitted diseases will be on the rise. Again, let us be objective, as premarital sex is on the rise, this may be considered as part of modernization and may be dealt with logically by avoiding further complications from this situation.

Pre marital Sex is all about ones conmfortness with the opposite sex ,We all have agree on this .We have to be very practical here ,see today its very common to find lot of young couples hanging around in every nook & corner ,Do u think all have taken vows to get Marrried NO.Its all about convienince ,evry 9 out of 10 younsters have friends from Opposite sex ,That doenst mean its only of this Purpose but thier is a chance,if you bound your selves to a relation of so called gf & bf .So If we still believe that Pre marital Sex is Non existant in our society,Than Hello we are the Biggest Hypocrates Truth is seen .U cant hide it or IGnore it .Ya but we hsould not encourage it ,But what kind of control can your exersice on this .It has to be self imposed Not by any body,But under what circumstances would you self impose it on you ???

Since centuries premarital sex is common in india. At this point of time Media and people have started discussing on this issue .I have experienced a culture of Muria tribe (Baster Chhattisgarh ), they have a club called GHOTUL , in Ghotul all the young boys and girla of the village gather in the evening . They drink enjoy and dance all together and finally enjoy Sex with the chosen partnerfor that perticular night.In my point of view its an issue of discussion for middle class people of india only.

Premarital sex is not harmful to health.but harmful to society.If encouraged it will spoil the moral values.If school and college students are openly engaged in such activity how can parents take care of their daughters and how can students pay attention to study. Sex is a major natural instinct.Animals without any social bondage go on rampage.Man is a social animal.He should have controled sex.Else man aill be animal.

We should conserve our Indian habits and cultural values and should at any point of time never try to compete western developed countries by doing such act where people think that this is one of the tools of developed nations.

On the last question, Encouraging it means actively supporting it. This is a question not just of morals but common sense. I think it really depends on the age of the people consenting to pre-marital sex. Certainly high-school students are way too young to understand what theyre doing.

As movies likes Rang De Basanti , stress on Todays citizens to understand their responsibility and do something to help Indias to grow .Pre Martial sex is something which should not be ignored.Since India is going towards path of development , people are getting matured and are exposed to other areas of development in Media , which plays a major role in bringing stuff which has never seen before.So instead of avoding or politicising or being hypocritical about our culture.As indians we should show some maturity in this issue and help todays youth get the right direction and live up to the dreams.

I would like to comment on the last question. it should not be encouraged as there are always chances of relationships breaking up. This might be a negative point for the next relationship. it should out of ones own decision and not by compulsion.

As our sosciety does not recognise pre-marital sex, it is better to avoid for prosperous family life. All depends upon the family,cast values the individual follows.

Pre-marital sex NEED NOT be encouraged, for Gods sake. Let there be an open society that can accept that individuals can make personal choices and act in a fashion that is independant of others business.

Virginity of mind and virginity of body is something that is essential for a happy married life. Human nature is such that the better half should pure and virgin and it should not be touched by others.

Should give proper awareness about the sex in school itself.

Sex is the basic human instinct. Marriage is just a landmark created to leagalise and approve sex. There is nothing premarital or postmarital sex. Sex is sex. One can have whenever in right frame of mind.

Its the other side of the same coin, if u do it u enjoy it..else wait till u get married

We cant encourage and need not premarital sex. But in a large society here and there things are taking place without awarness or for pleasure. We shd. educate the society and create awareness abt.the premarital sex dos and donts.

Its entirely an individuals choice.It should neither be encouraged nor condemned. Adequate knowledge imparted through any means -education, self study or open forums is a must,so that any person can form his own opinion and not get influenced or carried away by others.

Premarital sex is not good considering several factors in to consideration.

there should be no premartial sex talks in the open we should encourage moral values to be cherished in the society in order to keep our generation following highest indian cultural values to grow and be a responsible citizen of the society we are living in.

it should not be encouraged in our society. we are human being and we must follow the act that clerly distinguish ourself from animals.

We are living in a modern world where a child itself can decide his/her destiny. So there shoulnot be any restrictions over sex and should not highlight the private life of others.Its there own life. Every body can live in their own style.So better concentrate over career and future and not sex which is an intermediate one.

it should be discouraged

It is betwen the parties involved and no others to deside on it. It is purely an act of personnel things.

Premarital Sex should not be encouraged, since it will only lead to many children without parents

Pre marital sex among the girl & boy friends who will ge married with each other no problem. But simply for the sake of enjoying sex and married to other girl/boy who is innocent in this aspect is really cheating & may be in the true life they will not be happy living couple.

Its ok if both the partners understand what theyre upto.

premarital sex should not be encouraged .since its existing in indian society ,there should be proper education,rather than stopping it .its humanly impossible for people to stop all of a sudden.we all are humans and this is a very basic instinct.

Premarital sex is neither necessary nor illegal in my opinion.

There is no use in shying away from this fact. When more and more youngsters going Western, influence of western culture is bound to influence us. This will be here to stay, whatever our efforts are against this. The best we can do is to educate the youth as to the safeguards and precautions to be taken.

Its a sensitive issue but I must say that the number has been on the rise for sure. The only thing we need to stress upon today is to have safe sex and not to spy around about who is doing what in their private lives. This message has to be spread more often.

if people want to go ahead with it, they can. it is their life.

yes, but at the same time the society should not be spoiled because of this.

Previously also it is there.but dueto sociological conditions it was not expressed as if we are discussing now.Now the scenario is entirely changed.

premarital sex is no longer a taboo and should be openly advocated.In our country our atitude is hypocritical hence the problem is focussed.

so many youngsters/students/minors may spoil thei life.majors with their mutual intercourse is not a sin,when we prohibit brastitution as a social welfare then this premartial sex also a prohibited one.

Premarital sex should not be encouraged. But if any body wants to have sex before marriage, he should not have any resistance from society or from law. Over all, education is must in this respect.

premarital sex is not bad. it depends on the both parterners wish. police in india specially in punjab indulge in sex operations very much but they reprimand other young persons not to do this. i think every pollicemen in punjab have links with whore. every person has wish to have sex with other women. but they dont express it or doing it surreptously.in public they say it is very bad. they are trying to hush there children not to think about this but on the other side they indulge in sexual intercourse with whores.

I think sex is done with the consent of two people. If they are willing then why we should or the society bother. But yes education must be provided to ensure protected sex.

it is gud to hav such experiences before the marriage as both male and females are same eager to have sex

As long both the partners get married it is okay if not it is dangerou.

premarital sex do exist. its not much to be encouraged esp if its just for fun sake. In a society where marriage is becoming nothing more than a social thing and expensive many couples prefer or they live together this just exist accept it or not.

Our culture is slowly but steadily being eroded by western influences, our media is of no help,what with your particular hype in page 3 fantasies

its high time the indian society realizes that to work together to promote a social good or eradicate a common wrong is justifiable but it cant impose itself on people.. premarital sex exists in india and is here to sat.. you cant stop anyone but educate them inorder to prevent stds and for this we need to shed our hypocritical attitude towards it and talk about it.

the exposure and adaptation to western culture has placed premarotal sex under a lot of limelight; though it was happening earlier too, it is only now that people are talking so much about it. personally, i think it is a private metter between two individuals. there should be proper awareness in the minds of young people about it, and its possible consequences- both physical and psychological. rest should be upto them.

If generation starts to opt premarital sex there will be no respect for women and sex, as it will be commonly available and 90% of the people have sex before marriage they never get married for various reasons. As Islamic point of view it is serious crime and it is punishable.

I just want to say that even if someone commits premarital sex, then it should not be taken as wrong step. It completely depends on the couple involved in that. Why are others bothering about that!!!!!

Proper sex education and knowledge of communicable diseases due to unsafe sex would prevent experimentation. This should reduce the premarital sex incidences

Pre marital sex must neither be encouraged or dis couraged. People must be educated in having safe sex and contraception. The problem in our hypocrytical society is that while pre marital sex has always been okay with men; when the modern woman comes out in open support the men find it difficult to swallow. The Indian man still looks for the white vigin as a wife while he scr..s around with gay abandon.

Premarital sex should not be encouraged, glamorised and should not be seen as something liberating. Rather it should be punishable under law so that it creates an example for others.

Indians are basically cunning when we talk about sex. Everybody likes to have sex and they have made things a taboo just in discussion. We are world number 1 in number of AIDS patients, rape and other sex related crimes. Pre-Marital and Extra marital affairs are highest in India.

WE SHOULD EDUCATE THE CHILDREN ABOUT SEX AND TELL THEM THAT SEX IS OK PROVIDED THEY ARE ADLUT AS PER LAW. WE SHOULD ALSO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE SAFE SEX PRACTICES. IT THIS GENERATION IT IS IMMPOSSIBLE TO INSULATE CHILDREN FROM SEX BECAUSE THE TV AND MOVIES ARE WORST THAN THE DANCE BAR WHICH ARE NOW CLOSSED DOWN.

dont allow premarital sex. instead you can reduce the minimum age for marriage. people get engage in premarital sex due to curiocity.now a days children gets adolescen age earlier, so let them get marry instead of getting curious about it.

Premartial sex educatiob is necesaary to avoid the probelms and diseases but not for improvement .

it should be legal.because young indian nation more attracting towards illegal things like open sex.they allways setting there mind to do sex,because it is illegal.so it shoud be personal matter.

Sex education should be given importance and it should be highlighted that more an pleasure it is also involves intimacy & commitment. Premarital sex should not be encouraged because especially the teenagers may indulge in one as it may result unwanted pregenecy, emtional trauma etc. However if both the partners are mature enough to handle then it is fine.

No one can stop it. Only self thinking can make a difference.

pre-marital sex is bad, must not be allowed in the society

Pre-marital sex exist in our society, but should not be encouraged.

Its a reality of a maturing society. We need to ensure we mature at the right pace as our intelligence and outlook and not at the pace of attaining puberty.

Premarital sex should not be encouraged at any time. Premarital sex is a dangerous thing to deal without complete knowledge. You should make people to know about sex education but not of having sex before marriage. In my opinion we need to make strict laws regarding this in the constitution itself to make it play safe.

Premarital sex should not be encouraged as this leaves a scar in the mind and haunts the person who has to hedge about it and pretend that he or she never had it.If this happens then the couple should marry to aviod further complication and remorse. A girl today will be mother tomorrow and a grandmother, later on. She will have to carry the stigma and this applies to the male as well. They will have no moral force to tell their children to abstain from it.

It is practiced, it happens all over our society cutting across all demographics, region, caste,creed, economics et al. Then why deny it? The more we ignore it, the more we consider it taboo, the more we do it discreetly, the more we put psuedo morality around this issue we move towards a dangerously corrupt society where having to lie, having to be discreet, having to compromise on ones integrity becomes the norm. It is best given to the dicretion of the partners and leave it there, discoverying ones sexuality is after all not a sin. please let us not be hypocratic society. we need to encorage openess, and not sit on judgement about others.

everybody should make their own choices

Sex is very sacrosanct and should be kept so, to save human race from grossly misusing it.

I think that it had always been there and will be there. Nobody is forcing any one to do anything. Let the youth be given proper sex education and let the individual decide what is good or bad for them.

premarital sex can be healthy if understoud very nicely by both partners. this teaches lot about the act and this should be discussed between the two openly confined to them only.at no point of time the act should be explioted. it is a wounderful experience.

if u want premarital sex with ur life partner before marriage then its not good but sex before marriage with some other like ur girl friend is not bad.

Pre-marital sex should not be permitted as it leads to reproduction and children born out of this cannot have identity. Pre-marital sex if permitted will make no difference between human beings and animals. Human beings are animals but animals are not human beings. So let us think and be proud to be human beings and not animals.

Whether male or female having sex before marriage could affect their married life. The mind set of the people of India is not for this when it come to them personally. Mostly affected are female only. Women may accept Men having premarital sex half hearted but not vice versa.

premarital sex should arise from the heart of the people.It should not be forced on people.It should be the willingness of the both parties.It should not be encouraged.It should come from heart of the society or people.We should not force to have sex.

Like corruption, prostitution, .... , pre-marital sex is prevelant at its own toll. There is nothing wrong and right on it.

There should be premarital sex education; and changing of partners should be avoided as it leads to AIDS. Sex education should be introduced in the school curriculum.

like food and knowledge, sex is basic need of every individual. any obstacles in this basic instinct proglumates other evils

Sex and Love are things that cannot be controlled. So the best thing would be to educated our youths to pratice safe sex.

Everybody has the right to decide what they want to do with thier lives, so they have as much right to do what they like with thier bodies. But then the question of responsability also comes into question. If you drink to much and treat your body like an amusement park then youre bound to see retribution in form of a hangover. For pre-marital sex, however there more severe a recoil. So if you happen to indulge in it, be aware that you take responsabilities for your action because the condom companies dont have a customer complaint cell, believe you me.

Pre-marital sex definitely seems to be happening in India ,even with movies propagating it.People need to be educated about the pros and cons,especially issues like contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. It definitely cant be made unlawful! As regards the social issue,women are the only ones who would be victimised,as men have anyways being going around and it is the accepted norm for them.

its prevalant in the society , and its only education which can change there shouldnt be any punishment instead be given a counselling if done with consent of both the partners.

A rose does not smell sweeter ,you call another name so what ever the opinions about premarital sex it exist

well if some one wants to have premarital sex its up to them to decide. Bottom line is do what you really think is right in life,doesnt matter what society thinks.

Sex should be only among married couples

you should leave it to the individual after discussion

I feel if the partners are of an age where they think they can handle such intimacies then it should not be a problem. But after all social commitments they should always indulge in safe sex.

There is nothing wrong in it as everybody has the right to satisfy his/her desire. If both the partners doesnt have any problem with it then there is nothing wrong in it, provided precautions are taken care of very well as against AIDS and other diseases.

India has changed. We have to accept it.

ethics of sex education and dangers due to premarital sex to be cautioned right from age of 13 or 14 yrs.

My opinion reflects on the abovw points I ticked

Due to more openness in society this trend is increasing. I dont tink its harmful for society

We in India take sex as somthing which is bad. But it is natural and equaly essential as ather things such as food and air.As per my opeinion it should not be treated as some thing wrong but parrents should educate childrens to about its negative side and becomeing pray to some bodys lust. If both parteners are willing then there is no harm.

i strongly feel that premarital sex should be discussed openly and people should be educated in regards to this,but again it should not be encouraged but people must make sure there are safe to do so. thankyou

I have no problems with this. I know most of the youngters loose their virginity by the age of 18. And these days you cant expect your life partner to be a virgin till marriage.....So why shouldnt I also enjoy this pleasure rather than waiting for another 5 years to get married

If two adults are responsible , mature and consenting in their relationship , premarital sex is only a extension of their affection.It is by no way a licence to have fun.

its nature.. stopping it is going against nature.

We have not acheived this population and do not have such staggering number of Aids cases without indulging in all the allegedly prohibited activities. Be open and admit the problem, which is the first step towards a solution.

Premarital sex should not be entertained. Sex should be enjoyed only after marriage with ones lawful partner

Hello I am Farhan It should not be done before marrige knowledge is matter

It is a matter of choice. Every one should be educated and aware of it and then make an informed choice. The society should not moralise on it.

Sex is no doubt a physical , natural need. But civilization is also equally important . The commitments attached to marriage enhance the logivity of the relationship, which is definitely better than having fleeting relationships which has not benefitted the societies which approve of this. The percentage of people suffering from neuro-diseases is much more in so-called free societies.

premarital sex is cool

Premarital sex should be discouraged. There should be education about this in t he schools at appropriate level.

there must be a difference between human being and animals.Human being needs husband/wife instead of partners to fulfill his/her requirements.And marriage is a strong pillar of society which gives certain obligations on both male and female towards there life and coming babay.Animals lacks these as they dont have wife/husband/sons/daughters.But we are free to choose our life style untill it dont hurt others.

Discussing in open is fine , But get into the physical is not at all advisable. As a indian cultured person you may carry the guilty after the marriage , if you are not married to the same person.

i dont have any opinion about that , but youngsters should have to change their mind set about this .................

yes the it shouldbe encouraged

I dont like, advice & encourage premarital sex. We have rich culture & values. These have to be carried by our generations. If anyone would like to go for premarital sex, they can, but should go for safe sex methods. I work with HIV/AIDS organization. Thats why I am giving this suggestion.

Liberty and self control at the same time

Premarital sex is ok but should not be discouraged by restricting the freedom of individual.

it is not a criminal mistake to have premarital sex. but it is always suggested to hold ones self till marriage. premarital sex should nt be encouraged.

In India we have our own culture,values & in our society this is not permissible also. By having premartial sex we loose our own respect in our own eyes.

This is the need of time. premarital sex is existing in our community, so cant run away from that. we have to accept the truth, but sex should be safe at any point, when the partners are not married to each other. Specially safe sex is encouraged at every sphere of the corner.

I think it should not be hyped and should be left as personal matter.

Having sex is a purely personal issue - a couple can and must decide for themselves - how on earth can any body else decide for them? We Indians are so very hypocritical - we have a whole lot of fun of all kinds but shy away from discussing things!

no i think we should not ignore sex abuse

Its just a ongoing process adopted by the youth bcoz of westernisation of our culture.

premarital sex is avoidable one

in india premartial sex to be avoided as it is not included in our society

Well..Premarital sex exits in our society. It can be discussed openly. But, premarital sex,under any circumstances should not be encouraged.

The one most realistic approach is to educate parents, and, advise them as to when to start explaining about private parts of a human body, in a scientific approach, and make it as decent as possible so as not to embarasss children, and develop negative opinions of their parents. we in india need course in Parenting for men and women, preferably before marriage. this I am sure shall reduce the brutal abuse of women in our society,.

It depends on the individuals what they think abt it and how they take it,for some sexz is the only objective to get into relation for others its not.Spo you cant say its good or bad....

It is a biological need which needs to be met,else the parties concerned could indulge in anti-social activities.

India is high on list of HIV epidemic and needs to find ways and means of controlling it lest it should join the some of the African Nations where its having major economic and social consequences. Promisquity in India has enhanced over the years which needs to be curbed and safe sex needs to be promoted on all fronts and strata.

It should not be approved in Indian society but if there is future commitment then okay

one case People go for this to avoid the anxiety during the first night. They may end up in Sexually transmitted diseases.

pre-marital sex considered one of the sin in our country if any man or women disclosed after tie knot. It can bring disaster in their life. pre-marital exist in India as well but we should not encouraged this rather we should educate people about sex.

when both the couples agrees for marriage then they can involve in premarital sex . otherwise neither of the partners accepts other, being not virgin. But in our country always man wants to have a virgin girl, but never a girl thinks of having virgin boy. Hence, premarital sex is ok to some extent not to greater extent.

The sex behaviour of the individuals depends on (a) hereditary, (b) Social (evil) Customs & Cultures (c)Economic condition and (d)Metamorphosis in science and technology. Therefore, people need proper awareness at the youngage, inculcate the behavioural discipline and strict laws to prevent pre-marital sex in particular and spreading STDs including the AIDS.
