  • I don't think waiting for marriage is really necessary though I do think being in a serious, committed relationship is important before having sex. As for other things, it really depends on what exactly.

  • I think it's good.

  • I am a Christian as well and I am completely in favor of waiting until marriage to have sex.

    And no, it is NOT okay to do other sexual things prior to marriage.

  • I am a Christian, and I believe it's ok to do other sexual things as long as you love the person.

    • is there any machine in real life which can differentiate absolutely between love and just flirt (till sex). if it was possible, millions of innocent women would not have been rejected after first sex.

  • It’s a personal choice but I wouldn’t want it. If you want to remain a virgin until marriage, great! You do you!
    But I just think it’s pretty stupid, because most of the time people do other stuff but just don’t have sex. Like, bruh? It just makes no sense to me to be sexual but “refrain from sex”. What even defines sex? Isn’t being intimate together sex? Wouldn’t oral or hand work be sex as well? Some people think that those are more intimate than p/v sex.

    “Staying pure” is just weird then, because you sure as hell can hoe around but you’re still “pure” because no dick has been inside you?

    And then there’s just the general idea of it I hate. Saving until marriage means “being pure”, aka having sex is considered dirty. It’s not dirty, it’s intimacy, it’s awkward sometimes, funny, it’s a lot of things but not something to be ashamed of/shamed for.

    • @Kranjec i am not clicking on that.

    • The study is called "Premarital Sex, Premarital Cohabitation, and the Risk of Subsequent Marital Dissolution Among Women"

  • It is stupid

  • My opinion of it is, if you've been together for a significant amount of time and truly feel connected with your partner, go for it. But don't just fuck everyone cause you're horny. We've got hands, toys, videos, literature and the imagination for that.

  • I mean, it's not for everyone, and nowadays is very rare and those that want to stay a virgin until marriage might not happen because so many people don't want that and if they don't get any then they'll just go to other people, so screwing them may be needed for the relationship and eventual marriage to stay intact.

  • Do you try on your shoes before you buy them?

  • How soon are you planning on getting married? Remaining a virgin until marriage was reasonable when women were commonly married in their teens. It's very difficult to remain celibate into one's mid-twenties. It's also unnecessary, as contraceptives, prophylactics, and antibiotics have given women the ability to largely prevent unwanted consequences from sexual activity.

  • It's not a big deal to me honestly. In some sense I think it can hurt more than help.

    • @joelkc Lmfao. Yeah, I guess I feel like the virginity thing is more of a mindset for younger people, especially teens. Once you mature though maybe it doesn't have to matter anymore.

  • I dont know anyone who has ever stayed together who has had sex first. If you love each other you get married first. Believing in Jesus is the other half of the equation. Who knows, maybe someone can have sex like crazy and get married second and stay together, I wouldn't try it though.

    • You don't know anyone who's never had sex first? Do you live in a secluded Mormon village in Utah?

    • @DiamondRuby I do not know anyone who has had sex and stayed together with that person permanently.

    • So... Like every married couple...

  • I want to save myself for marriage or a very very serious relationship.
    I'm not a christian, but I don't think it's okay to do any sexual physical things with someone and still call yourself a virgin

    • Mine's Exactly Same!!

  • I just don’t see a point honestly lol. Sex isn’t that special really. But I respect people who choose that.

  • It's sweet and I applaud people for saving their virginity but I'm still going to fuck before marriage because of MANY reasons.
    Imagine you've been seing this person for 5 years and on your wedding night in bed you find out that the girl is allergic to semen or it can't go in. LOL That's fucked up. Or their bedroom behavior is bad and it ends up in a divorce because they never knew this about their spouse.

    • Ain't gonna fuck till I'm financially where I want to be at the minimum though. I don't want these distractions.

  • Your body, your rules. You can do whatever you want. I can assure you that you are not going to die. And each person has their own interpretation of religion so do what makes you feel comfortable, but don't be afraid to try out new things

  • I dont think any guy does this, they simply lie that they are because you can't prove it like a Woman can.

  • There are so many benefits of saving virginity for marriage

  • I didn't, I'm not a fan of meaningless sex but anyone that you have feelings for if you feel like you want to have sex with them then do it.

  • Everyone has different opinions and all ought to be respected, in my case, I didn't wait for marriage
