Is waiting until marriage worth it?

I waited until I was in my mid twenties, and to a certain degree strongly regret that I didn't play around more when I was younger. My lady whom I love a lot is a good girl, she was not a virgin as I was. It truly doesn't bug me, but after having sex with her, you realize what you have been missing. She will be my wife, and my only sexual partner. I have no regrets either way, only to say that there is always a void of "curiosity".

Sex is required for a healthy relationship for it is a big part of it. People divorce because of sex or the lack thereof. I am a good ol' Lutheran boy, so it goes against my morals, but not only does it boost your relationship it truly is a good time. I have seen to many couples marry young, so they can start having sex, don't make that mistake. If you divorce two years into your marriage, because you jumped the gun for something you could have been doing prior to marriage, it may save you a headache.

I waited so long that once I got it, I was like a pavlov dog. Now thirty years later, I'm still the horniest guy I know. (I waited until I was 21).

I missed a lot socially by waiting. Looking back, I wish I hadn't been so hung up about it and should have taken it when the opportunities arose. I also found out that I wasn't respected for holding out. Most felt I thought I was better than they were. Sex is a wonderful thing that should be enjoyed by all. Just educate yourself before you jump into it. For instance, is the guy circumcized? I had a female friend who waited until the honeymoon and that was when she discovered he was not circumcized and to her it was gross. And what if you aren't sexually compatible? What if you have a loose vag and he has a small weebler? What if you get married and he reveals he only wants to have sex in your butt? Too many things can go wrong if you don't get those questions out of the way. I would never again buy shoes without trying them on first.

It is worth it. Porno prostitutes, and the sleep before you marry crowd seem like cheap, used up individuals who make sex seem like something to feel guilty about. There is a strange kind of beauty to waiting that cannot be described with words. You have to experience it. Its like trying to describe the taste of a fruit unknown to another person. Now if you happen to have married a 'prude' who doesnt' like sex, then maybe it can be a terrible let down. Usually it is women who I've heard of who were prudish.

I got married when I was 33. I would have been royally POff if I waited so long only to get a divorce 2 years later.

At least you will be germ free.Aside from that ,they say if you wait,the marriage is more likely to last. I didn't wait and now I have 2 ex-wives.

Waiting til you are married is SO WORTH IT! There is nothing like that "pure" feeling of knowing that you haven't been used up by worthless guys before giving yourself to your husband. Your husband will love you and appreciate you so much more!

I did not/would never wait until marriage for sex. Honestly, I think that whole idea is a silly, outdated, oppressive notion. Also, I think it's silly to marry someone when you have no idea if you're sexually compatible with them.

Sex is fun! If you have a partner whom you trust and you use protection, what's the harm?

If you want to save yourself for love for your first time there is nothing wrong with that. Having sex with someone you deeply care about and love is a lot better than a one night stand. Or with just someone you kinda like.

No. What if you get married and your not sexually compatible with the other person, that makes things a lot different.

yes i think you should wait
