Thank you everyone for your great responses. It is really helpful to me to get so many different opinions and viewpoints. I think what I will do is ask him to come to my therapist appointment with me this Thursday. I have been seeing her for almost 7 years now, so she knows me very well. I think he definitely needs some more perspective on this issue. And I agree, he needs to see a therapist himself. He used to see a psychiatrist, but has since stopped because it got so expensive (he doesn't have health insurance right now). He said he's thought about seeing him again, but this psychiatrist is the head of the counseling dept at his old Christian college, so I don't think discussing the pros and cons of premarital sex with this guy would be beneficial. I will suggest that he find someone else. My therapist gave me a list of places that have a sliding scale based on income, so he could go there.
Keep the advice coming, if anyone else has more. I really appreciate everyone's help with this! I will keep you all updated.
