  • Imagine how things were for most people in America before WW2. People usually lived in the same tight-knit community their whole lives. They married earlier than we do to someone who was usually well known by them and their families. Everyone knew everyone well in these communities. I think they had a lot better idea of what they were getting into up front. Even then, people had sex outside of marriage because it takes a lot of self-control to refrain from it.

    Today, we don’t have community at all. Our elites have done all they can to force people into huge and burdensome education requirements, debt for education and housing, mobility for education and work, and to generally atomize individuals into career and consumption focused lives for the sake of outsized profits that go almost completely to the elite. We discourage people from marrying or making permanent commitments during their most fertile years when their sex drives are strong. Also, the elite began promulgating the idea that premarital sex is part of personal liberation. It is no surprise that premarital sex became common. Also, people seeking relationships face a much greater challenge getting to know who they are dating. Intimacy is one way to gain information about someone quickly.

  • I wouldn't consider marrying someone with whom I hadn't been in a long term sexual relationship. That could be like paying for a mystery prize with your life. It might be worth a million $ or it might be a horrible mistake.

    Marriage is the biggest decision we will ever make. It's a once in a lifetime thing.

    I'd need to know someone intimately for long enough to know that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with them. It there isn't enough openness and trust in the relationship to engage in sex, then it's not a relationship.

    Sexual compatibility is important.

    And sex is not a bargaining chip. I don't play that game.

    I wouldn't even waist my time with someone who believed in sex only after marriage.

    I place zero value on "purity". I prefer well adjusted women with strong libidos who are willing to give 100% to a relationship and try to make it work. I expect healthy women to have engaged in sex before. I consider them normal.

    Only a percentage of relationships become life-long. Many marriages even fail. So if your marriage or relationship failed, you wouldn't be a virgin anymore. So what?

    • I don't understand why our culture is making a big deal about sex before marriage at the end of the day We are all animals! it's a primal instinct to mate and breed... besides humans, dolphins have sex for pleasure as well along with other members of the animal kingdom... what makes us so "special"?

    • @Lustybliss. Right? Sex wouldn't feel so good if we weren't supposed to enjoy it. It's like telling someone that they shouldn't enjoy pleasant aromas or tasty food, or touch things with our hands. You're letting life pass you by.

    • Amen!

  • Because marriage is- or is SUPPOSED TO BE- a lifelong commitment; it makes a great deal of sense to ensure you're sexually compatible before taking that final step.

  • Because it's intimate and it makes your relationship with your SO stronger.

  • Because it feels good.

  • Because they are horny but don't want to get married now.

  • Because it is a normal natural pleasure to share with someone and with modern reliable contraception does not need to be controlled by a religion to protect unintended children.

  • Gotta test it out before you buy it. For me I had to have a baby with him before marriage to test his daddy skills too😛

  • Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? there are a lot of hos nowadays.

  • Because sex is natural and normal and we all love it.

  • when I do it... it was for a test run to see if we are sexually compatible.

    • and how many times have you ran this test?

    • I lost count tbh lol

    • but we're married now... but I have sex with other people besides my husband.

  • For the same reasons every other animal on Earth has sex before marriage.
    1. They are built for it.
    2. They can do it.
    3. They want to do it.

  • Because they get horny, as well as many of the reasons people have sex after marriage.

  • Yes most definitely I personally know at least 4 people who have

  • Being utterly honest? It's because we can't control ourselves and be disciplined enough to wait for marriage, and of course our very liberal culture and media influences don't help. I fully admit that I have failed at this, and it absolutely goes against Christian principles (and I am one).

  • I think it's not my business, and i will not mind other people's business.

  • Simple, they are attracted to each other, and it does help as a dry run to see how marriage would go.

  • Because sex is great

  • I think many partners simply want to feel intimately close.
    Others are insecure about the dedication of a partner and buy it with early sex.

  • Because it feels good.

  • try before you buy.

  • To see if you're compatible there as well. Same with living together, I think it's good to get all that out of the way already so you've already seen the worst of eachother.
