I have not had sex before and I am not going to the country with the intention of having sex, and even if I wasn't traveling, I probably wouldn't.
That being said, I'm about to turn 20, and who knows? Maybe something changes, I meet somebody special. I'm not going to kid myself, I have hormones! Anyway, I don't want to take my assumptions for granted, I figured I should find out what laws may govern the subject even if are rarely enforced.
Also, what is the societal reaction--when is a person considered a slut, or indecent? When is it relatively appropriate? Some articles I've read regarding LGBT rights in the country specifically say homosexuality is not illegal per se when in private.
Though, I am not a homosexual, but feel free to comment, it may help others! However, I read in the Jordan travel wiki that adultery which includes consenting, premarital sex is illegal and punishable by up to 3 years in prison, but this is not sourced.
Also, when reading the fantastic blog, Black-Iris, it seems while, perhaps, frowned upon in certain situations or done to excess, premarital sex is not illegal, at least he doesn't mention legality which I would think would have been relevant enough to note in some of his articles. I've lived in Amman for over 6 years now, and would suggest you go with what feels comfortable to you. Guys your age will be looking for marriage and a visa to your country, especially if it is the US or UK, so take any declarations of love with a grain of salt.
