| - | In recent years the morality of premarital sex has become a politically divisive issue in the [[United States]], since counselling against premarital sex is the cornerstone of [[abstinence-only]] sex education, a program advocated by former president [[George W. Bush]] and many [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] members of the [[United States Congress]]. The policy is opposed by groups such as [[Planned Parenthood]] and many [[Modern liberalism in the United States|liberal]] and [[Progressivism in the United States|progressive]] members of Congress, and the debate over abstinence-only education has brought the issue of premarital sex to the forefront of the [[Culture Wars]]. | ||

Premarital sex is sexual intercourse engaged in by a person or persons who are not yet married. It is generally used in reference to young people who are presumed yet of marriageable age, or who will one day be married, but who are engaging in sexual activity prior to their marriage.
Different cultures have various views on the morality of sex outside of marriage. Some view marriage before sex as completely optional, while others strongly disapprove of sex outside marriage.
