Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Could you wait until marriage for sex?
Queen_naki5 Yoda
I started dating a very religious guy. He's amazing by the way. Very strong faith, very educated and has a good head on his shoulders. I honestly love his spirit and his fun nature. He's a keeper. He's religious, where as I'm more spiritual. He attends church regularly, I don't have a church that I attend often, but I go to a few churches every other Sunday usually to hear the word or just tune into tv church. What I like about him is that he wants a future with me and that's not something I get very often. He wants marriage and children. I ultimately want that one day as well. He also wants to wait until marriage for everything. We've already kissed and held hands, but it's not going past that. A lot of my friends ask me how I could do that and I honestly have no issues with it. He actually was very honest from the beginning and told me exactly what he wanted. I knew what I was getting myself into. Could you wait until marriage to have sex? Yes or no? Why or why not?

23 43I couldn't. Now that I'm in my thirties, I don't consider sex the MOST important thing in a relationship, but it's still pretty high up in the list.
I couldn't marry (which is a huge commitment) someone without knowing if we're compatible and the sex is good.
Good luck! ;)
That's why you have to communicate these kinds of things first...
Very true. I think everything is fair if both parties are aware of what's going on. :)
No, because I'm not getting married. It's a shit deal for men; it only serves women.
Marriage is essentially a document giving the woman complete ownership of the man, his assets, and his future assets even after the inevitable divorce.
If I were married to a woman, I couldn't love her, because I would fear her.
But what does that have to do with waiting for sex? Leave your ideology to another question that supports your beliefs. Get out of here with all of that irrelevant BS.
Waiting FOR MARRIAGE for sex? You don't see how this is relevant? If I'm never getting married, then that would obviously mean leading a sexless life. I'm not interested in that. But I guess you're right, I did digress there quite a ways.
You went into areas that have little to nothing to do with the actual questions. To each their own. You don't want to get married. It's your choice. Not everyone wants to. Not everyone should.
Yup I can and I am.
Why?
I'm actually asking YOU if you'd wait for sex, not me lol.
Then sex :P
You'd have to get married realllyyyy young or have a below average sex drive to wait, in my opinion. i just dont get how people do that
We're not trying to get married now lol. We're in the courting phase. He has stated that he's tempted but knows it's in his best interest to wait. It was both of our choices to do this actually. More so his TBH.
Tis called will power.
@Phoenix98 do you masturbate 1-2 times basically every day? I mean you'd have to at the very least. Gotta release somehow man
Historically, people just got married really young. Like, REALLY young.
@Transigence true. It's a recent trend I think. Recent with a historical perspective anyways
Nope I don't do it at all actually I just substitute it with training or something else if I am in the mood, but it wouldn't be called will power if it wasn't hard.
There's no way I could've waited till marriage to have sex! I'm still not married either lol 😂😂
I do have a high libido and lost my virginity at 19. I'm 36 now 😆
i "could" but i certainly wouldn´t.
that is the best sex controlling N building upto it is the best experience u feel human
What do you mean? When you wait or when you don't?
patience pay off bigger at the end
Interesting story :3
Reminds me of a romance.
See sex is the most important thing in life. What is important is how much he loves you. Well and it shows that he doesn't want your body. He wants you. So I guess he s a genuine guy and live you you r really lucky.. I hope you guys get the kinda life hve imagined fr ur selves. . Keep smiling
Sex is not the most important thing in life.
Yes I can. It's not even about religion for me. I was just raised this way and I don't oppose it. There are times where I just want to have sex so bad, but I won't let that urge become stronger than my values. I want to wait for the right man and I want to share that beautiful experience with him now if he's not a virgin I won't flip out and it won't be a deal breaker but I'm hoping my mr. Right will be a virgin. Sex is special.
No. Why should i? No point.
I couldn't. But I think waiting is wonderful.
Too late for me. I had sex many times.
Are you currently in a relationship? What if you met a great guy who's wants to wait? He doesn't care about your past or anything.
I'm in a relationship. We have sex a lot. I would never date a guy that wants to wait.
I would wait a little bit for her to be comfortable but marriage hell no my sex drive is too high for that
The only reason im a virgin right now is cuz i dont have a girlfriend rn and when i did i was 14...
Well you've been a virgin for this long. You wouldn't wait for the right person? It's not like you've ever had sex, what are you honestly missing out on? What if she's a great woman?
I am in a two and a half year relationship with a very religious woman with no sex (we are both virgins). It's kind of falling apart for other reasons, but I was perfectly okay with waiting.
Why is it falling apart? If you don't mind me asking. You felt the need to say that you two weren't active but mention it's not sexually related.
She doesn't approve of my art because I sometimes draw nude people, and my art is my life. Finances also.
I was raised to, but I didn't make it.
when someone is honest inside and has no lust in desires he ultimately give his utmost respect to his girl by starting his relation by marriage, and he never keeps any plan B in her case. very lucky are those girls who are chosen by such devoted men.
and yes i am too waiting for my marriage, will have sex with my wife.
Yes I admire men with that mindset.
:) value your man, and good luck for future of you two together :)
Yes... why not
I not religious
I am very sexual man
But I would wait in the favor if sex joy , I don't wanna sex lose its glow and the rough heartbeat it give, I don't wanna sex turn to be usual thing
It worked with me
