Sexually active men are considered "winners" and women "experienced," while someone who saves him or herself in chastity is taken to be a prude, sexually incapable, or repressed by the Church. Despite what you see on TV or in movies, sex is a big deal. When you have sex with someone, you are physically and emotionally saying there is no one else you would rather be with in that moment. This goes back to patience. The saying is that love is patient and kind, not quick and convenient.
2. You are desirable
The girl or boy you are dating or talking to should want to have sex with you. They should have to work for it. What makes them so deserving of your big night? There is nothing sexier to your partner than saying that you waited to have sex with the right person and that person is them.One of the reasons to remain a virgin for as long as you can is so that when you are ready to have sex you can be proud of your decision and know that you are making the choice because it is what you want, not because of peer pressure, guilt, nervousness or uncertainty.
3. A self-gratifying feeling for yourself
Being able to say that I’m still a virgin for my own personal reasons and being able to stick to them makes me feel so good about myself. With all of the temptation, persuading and weak moments that I may have had, I didn’t give in.
4. It increases the repertoire of ways to show affection
The couple who practices abstinence finds new ways to show affection; they must use inventiveness and ingenuity to have a good time and to demonstrate their interest in each other. The relationship becomes stronger as they have more opportunities to get to know each other’s character and habits, and learn the ways to maintain the relationship.
5. My first experience will be with my husband!!!
The truth is, sex is binding. Within a few short moments of sexual contact, our bodies release a powerful neurochemical that facilitates emotional bonding with another human being. There’s something physiologically intimate about that, but more so, there’s something emotionally intimate when two people connect as one. Anyone who is really interested in you in the long-term is going to be perfectly happy with waiting a little longer. If it’s a dealbreaker for them not to do it in the first few dates, they weren’t someone you should be seeing in the first place.
Psychologists found that couples who waited until after their wedding night rated the stability of their relationships 22 per cent higher than those whose physical relationships developed earlier. Those who practised abstinence were also found to have 20 per cent increased levels of relationship satisfaction, 12 per cent better communication and 15 per cent improved "sexual quality".
If that's what makes you happy good luck to you. Some of the same reasons can be applied to others as well. Each person will make a decision dependent on their desires and needs. If you want to wait till marriage and you're happy, all that matters.

Yeah, but why not frustrate yourself for years prior to marriage, right? So that you can enjoy th START of your sexual life when you hit 27, 10 years from now on, meanwhile giving handjobs and blowjobs to your partner because they just won't wait anyway.

Does it have to suck in the first place? .. I just don't get topics like these. It's as if you feel you need to prove/justify your way of life or worse, you don't really believe what you're saying.

1) I don't care about rushing things. 2) Then why do so many virgins stay virgins for a while? 3) You know what else is gratifying? Sex. 4) I disagree, a couple that has sex can also do that. 5) I don't want to get married. I'm also not a girl.

i have a feeling this is only true for women and not for men. you are a loser as a virgin. your ''status'' as sexually active man has more benefits than your ''status'' as virgin (for men).

@Seneya like i said its a status thing. you are perceived as more successful if you are sexually active as a man. if you are a virgin you are not sexually active so it contributes nothing. why do some men care? because if you can't get a girl then thats where it stops for you, at least as a straight man. its a sign of virility and this contributes to status as well. you dont have to have a high status or something but every man has a status, a state of being.
