I see one (of many) potential problem. If you learn to live without sex for a long time before marriage, then you may return to that state when the novelty wears off once married, especially if one of you doesn't have a strong sex drive. If the other does have a strong sex drive, you may have problems. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 6/12/2009 9:12:50 AM | | On one hand I see how it would greatly reduce the downfalls of sex in general (unplanned pregnancy and disease), but on the other hand this rule would seem to set up unhappy marriages among people who just want to have sex so they go through the marriage thing JUST to have sex. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 8/14/2009 1:18:40 AM | | I'm aware that it severely limits my dating pool, but I don't care. My relationship with God and the ability to like the person I am mean much more to me than sex ever could. I will not have sex with any woman I'm not married to. It's just that simple. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/24/2009 9:12:16 PM | And if one plans to never marry, what then celibacy? No, no, no. This is not the way adult play together. Sex is a healthy part of an adult relationship, without sex, you're just friends. Marriage is a government sanctioned union. Does that mean we need a license and the governments permission to have sex? Sheesh, send out the police | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/24/2009 9:30:32 PM | I just finished watching a classic Polish movie "With Fire and Sword". One of the characters Sir Longius, took a vow of chastity until he would take three heads with one stroke of his oversized Tuetonic broadsword. He finally manages it during a siege. Afterwords the Husaria and other nobles congratulate him. He ends up dying the next day without being able to capitalize on his fulfulled vow..
Moral - Don't wait.
Seriously though, waiting might work for some people and it won't work for others. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/25/2009 3:26:18 PM | | My mom always told me that sex is an important part of a relationship. I waited until I was 25 years old and with my boyfriend for 7 months before having sex with him. I don't regret waiting. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/26/2009 9:41:20 AM | No sex before marriage pretty much means no sex AFTER marriage in my opinion. Sex is all part of compatibility and getting to know each other.
The Bible thumpers will disagree. They will say that there is absolute sexual purity when you wait until the nuptials to partake of the carnal pleasures, and they would be right. Plus any kiddies conceived will be conceived once in wedlock, which legitimitizes the children on their birth certificates and in the eyes of God. But I think it's absolutely essential to be completely intimate with one another before you take the plunge and make those lifelong vows. Judging from the posts in here, many a marriage is in trouble in paradise based on no or insufficient sex after marriage, whether they waited or not.
It's all about happiness. You want to feel completely happy with and in each other, no-?
Maybe there's a middle ground, like dry-humping with clothes on-! At least then you know how freaky or unfreaky you both are without actually penetrating the uglies. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/26/2009 11:49:55 AM | | I think it is good for young people to be getting back to the way it was meant to be. That gives me hope for society and values for the better in the future. In my personal case I don't think I could wait until marriage. That may or may not ever happen and I do hope to have sex again one day. I miss having a partner. Doing it by yourself does not have the benifits of another live person. I believe sex is the easist part of a relationship. Especially if you love eachother. It is the adults playground. | |

In short, yes. That's an excellent summary. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 10/26/2009 10:37:19 PM | | I was raised strict Catholic and my parents were strict about guys. I honestly thought I was going to wait to have sex until I got married. At age 19 things began to change for me. I think sex until marriage is a good idea because you know the guy wants you for you and not for sex. Also, no babies can happen. Most important the less sex partners you have the less likely of contracting an STD. | |

| No sex before marriage Posted: 11/4/2009 7:13:36 PM | I disagree...seriously you gotta be on drugs to put sex on hold until you get married.
I mean life is short, why limit yourself? | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 11/4/2009 7:26:18 PM | | Follow your heart but be aware that the person that you might fall in love with might not have practiced celibacy like you...personnally i would like to know that the person i choose to end up with will be compatible with me sexually... | |
|
| No sex before marriage Posted: 11/4/2009 7:28:19 PM | | Too late for that. It isn't happening here. Just don't complain if you find out you are not sexually compatible.....too late, too bad. | |
