Many parents, you know, are already married
And have no plans for divorce.
Whyever would they worry about bonking
Their license is long in force.

Now if you had asked the other way around
I would have had had to think.
With matrimony of such excellent vintage
Do they ever get to nod-and-wink?

Youngsters you ask, do they think about sex?
I am impressed that you ask.
"When" and "where" and "how" come up
"Who" is rarely the task.

> Is sex before marrige against hindu religion?

This is indeed a profound question
Sages have pondered and thought.
And then they went out and grabbed a woman
With little concern for who or what.

Lest you doubt me, my dear fellow,
Look up the assorted purans.
The full and detailed and lyrical descriptions
May put thee in a powerful trance.
