Adam and Eve

“Nine months earlier Eve went into a small room. Adam was there. It was cold. It’s past midnight. There was pleasure. Eve gave everything. It was Eve and Adam’s unite.”

Did Adam and Eve have pre-marital sex?

For those who still do not know what pre-marital sex is, it is having sexual intercourse outside marriage.  Whether you do it before you get married, or do it with someone who’s married to someone else, or do it with somebody else if you’re married, it is PMS. It does not come new to young people today. Many still act innocent, but it is a reality that we face. Many do it with their peers. It’s the new immoral “in” thing. Of course, the conservative and religious people identify themselves to be against it.

One biology teacher said, people at some point in their life would need sex, especially men. The Holy Bible also allows sex that’s ‘within marriage.’

                People have sex before marriage because… One, they get curious, but that’s an understatement. Those who use that reason really means they want to try it because they believe it feels good. Two, they it’s their own way of showing how much they love each other, which could be one real reason. And finally, the third reason is, they do it because they believe that it is already a normal thing to do. However, that is only at the beginning. The consequences are unimaginably worse.

There is a great risk of having AIDS/HIV in pre-marital sex, of which, the cure is hardly obtained due to the expensive price and the availability of the medicine. This disease could possibly get into the system of everyone who does it – married or not. The disease could be passed from one person to another by, of course, sexual intercourse.

                Aside from the physical damages pre-marital sex can do, it can also destroy the morale and esteem of a person.

                *Pretsel is a college student, and has experienced pre-marital sex. “Pagshow ko man ‘yun ng love. He asked for it. S’yempre it’s not easy baya to say “no” kasi you might lose the person.” She does it every time her boyfriend asks for it, and most of the time, she skips classes for this. Where do they do it? “Minsan sa dorm niya. Nakakahiya…kasi may mga nakakakita din pag pumapasok ako. Pero patay mali lang ako, patay mali din sila.” Pretsel has also admitted that rumors about her not being ‘virgin’ anymore has scattered. “Maka-hurt ih. Pero somehow okay na man ngayon. Kasi so far, totoo man din.” Is there anything that she regrets about it? “Siguro yung, hindi ko alam ang mangyari sa akin ‘pag break na kami. If matanggap kaya ‘yun ng next boyfriend ko. Tsaka siguro, yung feeling na ikakasal ka one day na naka-white ka pero hindi ka na pure. S’yempre naman winiwish ko pa rin na sana diba, pure pa rin ako. Pero wala naman. Gor nalang.”

                 A person will even more regret doing it, if it were to a person who does not even care. Most people do it drunk, so most probably, they do not do it upon emotional conviction, but purely of lust and emptiness. Many families and lives are destroyed by this.

                *Hansel is a second year student in the university, and is a single mom. “Mahirap. Baka hindi na ako makapag-asawa. I keep on thinking, ‘will I ever be able to still live normal after all?’ ‘Will anybody still find me acceptable para i-love?’ Ngayon, my hope lies doon sa father ng baby ko. Para sa akin, parang siya lang ang p’wedeng tumanggap sa akin. My hopes are closed sa ibang tao.”  Do you think you still have the chance to be in a relationship that does not involve the father of your child? “Mayroon siguro, pero slim. I really don’t know. I think it’s hard to believe that in my situation, somebody else would still take me seriously.”

                After all, maybe pre-marital sex isn’t always a good idea. It’s a gamble which always leads into a loss.

“Nine months later Eve went into a small room. Adam wasn’t there. It was hot. It’s past midday. There was pain. Eve gave birth. It was Eve and Adam’s divide.”
