These are just arguments against promiscuous sex, not against sex outside of marriage. And for instance, the depression-related studies do not necessarily show a causal relation between sex and depression; it could be that their environment predisposes them both towards depression and towards sex (either as peer pressure or as an escape).

>which shows that the act of sex with more than one partner seems to impair some sort of pair-bonding mechanism
Perhaps it's more of a psychological change than a biological change, unless that's what you meant by it. Once again, that stands only if you are promiscuous. Can I have the link to this study?

>obvious downside of potentially contracting sexually transmitted diseases, even with protection
Surely a cure can be found, or a preventive measure (aside from the obvious- screening for STDs or staying away from such people who are promiscuous as a lifestyle). But to have sex with a virgin woman before marriage will likely not pose such a danger.
Also
>25% of sexually active girls are depressed
>8.3% of sexually active boys are depressed
Aside from girls suffering from mood disorders at higher rates than boys, it's quite possible that a great many of their troubles are also caused by heartbreak, cheating, relational troubles, and the like (which usually plague monogamous relationships, and which especially plague those who scatter their dedication).

I agree with abortion being wrong, but I'm sure contraceptives (that do not prevent implantation, but rather conception) can be used.


And I'm making these arguments as a current KHHV, likely eternal KHHV. I don't support sex outside of marriage, I'm more against the idea that "it is good for a man not to touch a woman" and marriage is just a compromise to prevent fornication, not a beautiful thing, a ladder to God in itself. It's this alien, gnosticoid and cold-blooded view I despise, not what is moderate and natural.
