Should people who are waiting until marriage to have sex talk to their partner about sex while dating?

Should people who are waiting until marriage to have sex talk to their partner about sex while dating?
I've been considering on waiting myself.

I've heard stories of people who waited until marriage to have sex and regretted it because their partner wasn't sexually compatible.

It's NEVER about their partner having a really small penis or a funny looking vagina or anything like that. It's always that she won't do this, or he won't do this position or she won't do my fetishes or he doesn't believe in oral.

I thought couple were supposed to at least talk about sex while dating if they're waiting until marriage. After a couple months of dating when the relationship is at the point where most couple are already having sex, I'd want to talk about it. I'd want us to share every detail, what positions are you interested in, what fetishes do you have and what not, we could even do it through text if we're shy about it, and if there's something that one wants to do and the other doesn't then we'd know that we may not be sexually compatible.

But why don't they do it? Or do they ant it's just a fringe minority that don't but people use those few stories as a reason not to wait.

  • Yes. I find it healthy and plus, I hate dealing with a boring relationship. I always wanna get to the fun part

  • Just tell them you won't have sex until after marriage and dont talk about sex because you will end up getting sexually frustrated and won't want to wait

  • You're setting yourself up for some huge disappointments if you are in "western culture" and don't even discuss it. That's all I'm going to say on the subject... for now ! LOL

  • Of course you should talk about sex while dating. You should talk about everything.

  • It occurs to me that where a couple, close enough to be engaged, can manage to keep their hands off each other for several months, then you have a recipe for a passionless platonic relationship.
    If you can suppress the desire go find someone you can't resist.

  • I'm sure it's worth talking about but I believe the people complaining are in the minority. I know plenty of older people who waited and seem perfectly happy with their sex lives.

    But if it helps both should open up, once you're married you shouldn't feel repressed or like you can't do certain things with your partner.

  • They should talk about it but sometimes their knowledge is limited and they don't know what they like or hate yet.
    Some of the virgins too are shy to even talk about it.

  • discussing that stuff in advance sounds inevitable if it were me XD

  • You know the funniest part? You can't really know what you like until you start experimenting. So they could talk about till their crime family (oops, sorry, I meant to say church!) disowns them and it might not have done them any good. That's why it's not smart to wait.

  • I think that the frank and open discussion of one's expectations, boundaries, and needs can prevent one from making a mistake you cannot undue.

  • The reason I didn't wait until marriage is because it's better to try and see what you like so when you do get married you kn ou w your limits

  • It makes sense to not wait. You need to be able to find out for yourself how you like having sex, know your body, know your s/o body. Your not going clothes shopping and buying the first thing you see without taking them on a test drive are you?

  • Absolutely should , I think that they should know that you want to wait until marriage, they should be supportive , if they’re not it’s probably not who you should marry anyway

  • I think it's a good idea to talk about sex while dating. That gives each other better understanding of what each other wants and is expecting.

    It's better to know going in to a marriage what to expect so you can be prepared rather than discovering what you're not prepared for and possibly stuck with for life.

  • Dude get laid. I've went over this.. would you buy a car without test driving it, a suit without tailoring it etc.. Sex is a big part of the first 3/4s of ur life. Make sure ur compatible

  • Yes. Sex should only be within marriage.

  • It depends on the stage of your relationship with opposite gender

  • You better talk about it or you'll end up at a bad crossroads later

  • I haven't waited for marriage haha but i believe if u were gonna u should talk about it before hand

  • Sex is a very important component of a relationship and must be talked about whether a couple is involved in it or not.
