Due to this civilization our youths
are so wise and open to look for contraceptive which may be drug, or device in
order to preserve them from the outcome crisis of premarital sex. Parents are
now anxious about their own children and seriously show concern with the rate
at which students engage in premarital sex. For example a parent of four female

It leads to
unwanted pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion which if care is
not taken can easily lead to loss of life or damage the womb which can later resulted to
barrenness for the rest of one’s life. Also it leads to early marriage, this
can easily happen when one can’t risk abortion. Premarital sex causes
illegimate parenthood. It can hinder one’s educational plan. To crown it all,
premarital sex can lead to sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea,
syphilis and even acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Unlike the societies where premarital
sex is allowed, they have institutionalized it and so premarital sex is
regarded as a proper and useful activity because they have developed a supporting
sex institutional arrangement which makes it safe and harmless.
