I respect the decision of people choosing to wait. Back in my dating days, that was a deal breaker for me. I'd have to know if I had chemistry with a person before deciding to have a lifetime of sex with only them. I think more than a few are going to be let down by waiting. Sex between two completely inexperience people is way worse than what it can be.
i will admit, i have a problem with religions, and all that related to it. but i think that much religion talk isnt allowed here haha.
Hmm, it's not the way I roll, but I gotta respect people who do that. (Like, hell, I couldn't really hold out that long if I wanted)
Btw.: @AwkwardSquirtle your posts have provided me with a quite a bit of insight about the christian take on abstinence before marriage, without ever being aggressive or disrespectful. Thanks for that
It's not something you believe in or not. If you don't do sex before marriage, you are missing out on an awesome side of life, simple as that.
People who do "not believe" usually hide behind this reasoning because of deeper reasons. This has been the case with everyone I met with this mentality.
Religious reasons do not hold anymore in 2016.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

I am not saying sex is the end all be all of a relationship, and if it came off that way I apologize. Sex is actually the least important thing to me in a relationship. I just know first hand that regardless of how great the rest of the relationship is, having a sexual incompatibility can really drive a wedge between two people. That's all.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Hey, people wanna be biologically functioning inferior because of delusional personal beliefs ; More power to them.
That's a cornerstone of tolerance, buddy.
The same could easily be said of having sex before marriage though.
Too each their own, IMO. Some people don't want to because once sex happens, it can easily interfere with everything else, getting to know someone, etc..
For some, sex just isn't that important to them.
For others, hell no.
Whatever works.
No hymen, no diamond crew.
Women who wait till marriage are statistically way more likely to have a successful marriage.
Their choice.
I can not say it's something I'd wanna do, but I can respect it.
My parents waited until after they were married to have sex for religious reasons. They have been together 45 years.
I did not wait until marriage, I was 15, although I am now married to that person and we have been together 18 years and married 10.
Why should I care or judge why someone does or does not have sex prior to marriage?
Lots of, "I dont get why ppl do it, its dumb" in this thread.
READ and be less Ignorant.
in times of consumer protection not beeing a shallow word, i would turn the slogan around:
No Marriage before Sex.
Even priests say "So Hedge Therefore, Who Join Forever"
U want to test your future wife / husband, as its not easily swappable and no refunds are given.
Frankly, good for them, if that's really what they want.
In the other hand such practices seem extremely unhealthy.
I know a guy. married at 23, no sex before marriage for both, they have been together 19 years this year.
whatever works for people I guess.
