It's good and worth it in that there's no risk in getting an STD or having a kid. Other than that, it's up to you if it's worth it or not.

personally, I don't think it is. Being abstinent (not by choice) has been very stressing and depressing to me.

Yes! I really wish I would have waited. Avoided heart break, scars, and life long consequences. Imagine you glue two pieces of construction paper together and let them dry. Then very carefully try to pull them apart. It is guaranteed that part of each paper will end up on the other. Part of you will always be with that person adn vice verse. Memories, either happy, sad, or both. They will be with you forever. And when you finally find your soul mate, it just isn't worth it. I have NEVER met someone who regretted waiting. But I constantly hear people who regret not waiting. Me included.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! If you do not know how to practice safe-sex (or have moral reasons for not practicing safe-sex) then you better practice abstinence to avoid terrible consequences of such a wonder human interaction.

It really depends upon how much reverence your place in having sex.
If you see it as a miraculously important event between two people - one that will solidify their love for all time, then yes...it's worth it.
