A study was released yesterday  showed that sexual contact before marriage was not only healthy but, it was found to be the norm. Though according to my grand parents age group many did not have sex even once before they tied the knot. There were many things that prevented them from the consumation through intercourse before they became married such as religious beliefs, the availability of contraceptives, and those whos moral values would not allow them pre-marital sex.

Todays society is open-minded concerning peoples sexuality and the fact that two people live together before they get married is quiet common. A hundred years ago the only unmarried males or females who lived together before marriage were brothers/sisteras. Within this recent study the report of much larger numbers of those participating in sexual activity prior to marriage, then was believed before. We must also ask ourselves did they know how to abstain better or lie better? Probably a bit of both.

Think about it, it is a troubling strech for each of us to imigine pur parents making love, let alone our grand parents or great=grand parents before the rituals of matramony were placed upon them. The natural act of performing sex and then the over-whelming desire for men and women to bump pee pees, indicated that people have been having intercourse since the beginning of time. Sex was not a topic spoken about the dinner table and even describing anatomical body parts could get your mouth washed out with soap.

It is refreshing in away to see our family as the sexual creatures they were and are, and not what we were told to say about our family. They were just as interested in sex, performed sex, as we were before we ourslves got married but, most of all, we can see the 'fruit did not fall far from the tree'. I do make pictures in my mind about what my family did before getting married but, I have learned to except it for what it is and will be.
