Well, thank you for clearing this up for me.
personally, i believe you should save yourself until marriage. sex is a very personal, romantic, beautiful thing that you should not partake in it “loosely.”
however, i am not one to judge someone who has or wants to have sex before marriage. people do it, and they end up marrying their partner. i, myself, cannot judge one who choses to do so; it’s not my place.
in my beliefs, this verse is what should be lived out.
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. {hebrews 13:4}

oh, my dear, anon.
you’ve tricked me. i thought it was someone trying to get my views, as a christian, on sex before marriage. i apologize.
however, i am going to remain silent on this question. it’s too personal for comfort, especially to discuss so openly with someone whom i have no idea who you are…
my views on sex?
it happens.
you’ll have to ask me more specifically, if you want a more specific answer.
* i know what you’re trying to ask, here, i just want you to ask it. no dancing around the topic, if you’re the one bringing it up.
Suppose God tells you to do something that is an enormous test of your common sense, totally going against it. What will you do? Will you hold back? If you get into the habit of doing something physically, you will do it every time you are tested until you break the habit through sheer determination. And the same is true spiritually. Again and again you will come right up to what Jesus wants, but every time you will turn back at the true point of testing, until you are determined to abandon yourself to God in total surrender. Yet we tend to say, “Yes, but— suppose I do obey God in this matter, what about … ?” Or we say, “Yes, I will obey God if what He asks of me doesn’t go against my common sense, but don’t ask me to take a step in the dark.”
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark. In the spiritual realm, Jesus Christ demands that you risk everything you hold on to or believe through common sense, and leap by faith into what He says. Once you obey, you will immediately find that what He says is as solidly consistent as common sense.
By the test of common sense, Jesus Christ’s statements may seem mad, but when you test them by the trial of faith, your findings will fill your spirit with the awesome fact that they are the very words of God. Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it. We act like pagans in a crisis— only one out of an entire crowd is daring enough to invest his faith in the character of God.

however, you’re missing the key issue.
you are anonymous.
period.
i would like the opportunity to say yes. however, the clear fact that i have not a clue who you are limits the possibilities.
take care, my friend.
hey! thank you for your encouragement.
i, at one point, was counting my calories. i don’t anymore because, well, one day i missed counting it and then it led to missing a week and here i am still not counting.
i just watch what i eat and how much i eat and how often i eat. it’s helped with just portion control, and knowing what is/isn’t good for you. also i don’t drink soda (maybe 1 can per month, which i can hardly drink a whole can anymore.) that was a huge factor in my weight gain. i drink water usually.
let me know if you have any other questions!

a “blah” kind of day, filled with nothing special, except storms upon storms.
