No, I can see why some people think it's very important, I used to as well when I was a kid. As I got older though I realized for me anyways sex was fun and enjoyable but didn't always need to have meaning to it.
If you don't wait then your relationship will probably fail.
That’s what I mostly see that the guy and girl have sex for the first time and then the relationship becomes strained and they break up because they mostly depend on sex in the relationship and not on an emotional or personal connection.
I am currently waiting. Primarily out of concerns of STDs, secondarily that I don't want kids before marriage, and tertiarily for religious reasons.
thats mostly all the reasons I’d wait other than the fact that I’m one of those people who see their virginity as a part of theirselves. It’s kind of like people don’t think, “what if I get an STD/STI that I’ll most likely have to live with for the rest of my life? What if I end up with a kid before marriage and the relationship is awful?” People don’t think that at all. It shows in my classmates who I graduated HS with (who are all now in their lower 20’s) and most of the girls are pregnant and decided to get married now because of that. I haven’t seen any divorces or strained relationships, that most likely happens later in life though.
I did... and wasted years of my life because she dumped me.
Therefore, no, I would NEVER do that again.
NO ONE SHOULD.
Are you upset that you didn’t end up going further in the relationship? (as in marriage) or that you didn’t get to have sex?
The fact that I didn't have sex while we were together was not that big a deal. I am upset that we didn't get married because I wanted to marry her all along and she knew how I felt. The problem was later. Because I was heartbroken but still in love, I didn't be with ANYONE. So, other than a very short rebound LDR, I didn't have sex until I met my wife. So, other than once or twice in the LDR, I had no sex from age 26.5 to almost 37. Those are prime years for a male to have sex because ED eventually hits. And I pretty much had full ED by 44. Parenthetically, I never had sex with a woman who was in her 30s. So, I got ripped-off by life because I waited. I know a lot more now about relationships. All relationships should be completely test driven. You should live, unmarried, with your partner together as a fully functional couple as if you were spouses for 2 years (but NOT have kids). After 2 years living together, you pretty much know you'll be OK and you can get married. If you can't make it through those two years, well, then you know it would have been a mistake to get married... and one very important aspect of young couplehood is sexual chemistry. A relationship can be fabulous outside the bedroom, but if it sucks inside the bedroom, the relationship is doomed.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!The answer for me is obviously no because my girlfriend and I have sex together many many times.
Yes, I would. It's the Christian thing to do and the wise thing, because if there's not real love sex would be pointless anyway.
I'd definitely wait if I'm deeply in love with her. In fact I'm currently living this story even though I'm not sure if it will end up with us married or not.
Clearly No xD
