Ambarsaria ji, the issue is not about sex or no sex in life but whether sex prior to the commitment of marriage is moral so in that context many of your comments above do not apply. STDs are unlikely in a committed monogamous relationship and that is a fact. If there is no commitment and a child comes into the equation then there are many complications which are far more likely to have a negative impact on all concerned. This is not responsible behaviour. Kachhera is not just for modesty but also for moral behaviour. As Tejwant Veerji states, it is vitally important to have our moral compass in the right direction. Merely thinking about it doesn't create babies or cause disease so the ohysical and mental acts are not equivalent in this case! If you are ready to be so intimate with someone, why not commit to them?!

No personal bother but I truly don't understand your viewpoint as demonstrated with my points, many of which have remained unanswered. This goes to anyone who thinks sex before marriage is morally correct and acceptable as a Sikh. It baffles me!
