To What Extent Do You Practice Sexual Modesty?

I HATE PEOPLE THAT ACT HOLIER THAN THOU JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING...
I think certain rules should be abided by but i don't agree that there should be a prohibition on sex before marriage..
WHAT IF YOU DON'T EVER PLAN TO GET MARRIED LIKE ME?

Well, this is what's commanded of Jews in the Torah and is commanded of Christians in the bible. Sex outside of wedlock is prohibited.
G-d put us here to add to the population. If one doesn't end up getting married, then, I don't see it being a vast defiance of Jewish law, but it will certainly lead to one breaking Jewish law, just like what you are suggesting. That's why marriage is greatly encouraged. Sex was meant to be performed only by a husband and wife. Nothing else is acceptable. The same goes for Christianity.

Yeh i agree it is a law..
I was actually more having a go at people who attack those who are less orthodox and don't exercise such rules
its the staunch religious people i can't stand

Just a bit odd of a question.

Well those of the Reform movement, the most liberal of the movements, and the movement I consider to be a poor interpretation of Judaism and the Torah, would probably bring up the point you made. Reform Jews are so liberal, they most likely will have sex out of wedlock, because Reform makes so many principles of Jewish law optional. The Torah has set before Jews a number of commands that should be followed. Saying that the word of G-d is optional doesn't sit right with me.
Now being of the Orthodox movement, I must even admit that fulfilling all 613 mitzvot is a challenge and most don't be able to fulfill some. It's our job to fulfill as many as possible. G-d is just testing us to see if we can be as good of Jews as we can possibly be. I realize that some of the mitzvot will surely go unfulfilled by me, but attempting to do as many as possible is worthy of praise.

The reform movement is a load of balony...
they have women leading the services on the bimah wearing kippot and tzisit.
The torah is very clear on the laws and ways Jews are meant to abide them..
I just think their are some Jews and Christians that turn people off religion by trying to act holier than thou and not respecting others with less extreme positions on topics like sex before marriage
