             Pre-marital sex, young Catholics know it is wrong. So why do they do it? Most teenagers have heard or coined the phrases "everyone's doing it." "If you loved me you"d do it" and also "It's okay I have a condom." Sex before marriage can be harmful to your body, your future, but the scariest of all your eternity. In this paper we shall look more into the Catholic point of view on pre-marital bliss. The purpose of sex is to unite a married couple as one loving body in consummating a marriage, to leave the possibility of procreation open, and to and to educate a child. .
             The purpose of sex is to unite a married couple as one loving body. This is because God's intention in creating the first man and woman was for them to love and create more men and women. To do so a married couple must join as one loving body or to have sexual intercourse. In having intercourse the first time in a marriage you are consummating the marriage therefore making the marriage official in the eyes of God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "the union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating the flesh in the creators generosity and fecundity: "Therefore . . . and they become one flesh" (Gen4:24) All human generations proceed from this union" (Catechism 2335). .
             Sex is meant for mature individuals who are prepared to face the consequences of sex. Two of the biggest fears in premarital sex are STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and unwanted pregnancy. A married individual normally does not have to deal with such problems. This is because at the average age of marriage most STDs are not common. Second, in a marriage a couple normally wants a child to care for. However, teenagers do not want these responsibilities. Which leads to common use of contraceptives in teen sex. .
             Sex is meant to leave an opening for procreation. Contraceptives are commonly used in premarital sex. These are used to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs.
