Sex, whether premarital or postmarital, depends on the people who are engaging in it. Even in postmarital sex, there can be a lot of violence. Equally, there can be a very bad kind of sexual encounter before marriage. The word marital does not matter. If two people are not meeting in actual love, then it doesn't matter whether the thing is postmarital or premarital — it is simply abominable. If you love someone, give them wings, light, and self-knowledge. Liberation is the foremost indicator of love.

Questioner: So when we enter college, being a student, there is an open environment in the college where we can freely mingle with the people of opposite gender. Now, when one is away from the family and they are yearning for some intimacy, it is quite common in our generation that people engage in casual physical intimacy. So, according to you, is it right?

Acharya Prashant: The question is based on a few assumptions, Chetna. You have asked about premarital sex. If the center of the question is marital, then why not begin with postmarital sex? That is something that you have taken as granted. Do you see the assumption implicit in your question? You're saying postmarital is okay, so I don't even need to question that. I'm questioning only premarital. Let's begin with postmarital rather. So you're asking me, "Is premarital sex okay?" I'm asking you, "Is postmarital sex okay?" Please tell me.
Questioner: Depends.
