In fact, when religious dogmas were laid down, sex before marriage could lead to unwanted pregnancy and even abortion, and could also contribute to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Now, with modern contraceptives, this can be practically eliminated. In addition, modern doctors say that sex is good for health. Modern Western society has experienced several sexual revolutions, so now society generally accepts several models of sexual behavior:
1. Promiscuous sex with different partners.
2. Short-term relationships with sexual partners.
3. Long-term relationship with one partner, but without official marriage (there is no clear boundary between clauses 2 and 3).
4. Living with a partner with legal marriage.
5. Singles, singles, life without a sexual partner at all.
(Only heterosexual relationships with adult partners are taken into account here.)
In modern society, paragraph 2 or paragraph 3 is usually practiced in youth before marriage, then paragraph 4 usually follows. Should the Church condemn this way of life?
