Should I wait until I'm married?

Question

I've always said that I'd wait until I was married to have sex, I want to honor this but it's getting so hard...

I'm only 17, so I haven't waited THAT long...

Answer 1

I would. There are just too many STD's out there and chances for unwanted pregnancies. Stick to your guns and I think you'll thank yourself in the end.

Answer 2

if you are planning on getting marries before you are 21 then waiting is fine. If you aren't then I wouldn't wait. You will just stress your self out by waiting and what if you turn 28 and you haven't done it. It is really weird to be that old and not have done it. You will be much happier if you don't wait. It is a completely natural thing. It is one of the few things in life that makes people happy. It is nothing special. As soon as you do it you will ask your self why did I wait so long. The longer you wait the harder it will be to find someone that wants to do it with you.
Remember to be safe and use a condom. You don't want a baby the first time.

Answer 3

Yes, you should wait. I'm 21 and I haven't had sex either. I always said I'm going to wait until I get married also. It's not hard for me, because I think sex is special and should be with the person you love. You should be proud of yourself. You waited this long, why not wait until your married.

Answer 4

lebella, it is hard, but hang in there. I know what you mean, but here is my experience of a marrige of 7 years with no pre-marital sex (look down the road, not at the now)

I love being married to the same man. He is the only man I've ever had sex with, or kissed until we got married, so this might make a difference, but I adore my husband, and want to make him happy by being happy and sweet to him, and in turn he wants to treat me like a Queen. Honesty/trust, great sex life, and communications is a wonderful thing too- inside the bonds of marrige.

Sex is such a temptation, ask grown-ups, or another couple to come along with the both of you on a date. ( Your asking for it to be alone- you have already lost half the battle.) Or set a wedding date earlier than planned. I love being able to tell my daugter I was a virgin when I got married- to set the right example for your chidren- that is PRICELESS!!!! You know that? You can have what any girl has at any time by having sex, but they can never have what you have- not if they paid all the $ in the world, it's your purity. It takes alot of character to stand up on your own. Instill good character in yourself, in your future family. Look down the road, not at the now.

Answer 5

Yes, you should wait. Save yourself for that special someone, it will be well worth the wait. You should be proud that you're still a virgin, not too many people, can say that. Even if you do date someone, that doesn't mean you have to sleep with them. I'll tell you right now, there are going to be alot of people, that will try to get you in bed, especially if they find out you're a virgin. They'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear, just to make you believe, they really love and care for you, whatever you do, don't give in. They'll try everything in the book, to lure you into bed, don't give in, remember, you can never get your virginity back, once it's gone! Trust me, saving your virginity, isn't going to be easy, those temptations, are going to arise, but when they do, ask the good Lord, to give you the strength, to fight those wicked temptations and he'll hear and see you through!

Answer 6

If you have waited this long why not wait a little longer? It is something that you will be glad that you gave away to the right person and that you waited for trust me. On that special night just that building up of all the years that you have waited will be in the back of your mind and you will have one very explosive honeymoon night. Don't spoil it know when you have come this far. Really it isn't worth giving into temptation when you can wait just a little while longer. Good Luck.

Answer 7

Sex is diffenetly better if you are with someone you love. What does a HONEYMOON mean. Think how much more special your honeymoon will be making love with your husband for the first time if you wait. I think your question would be better if you ask... How many women had sex before they were married and regreted it? You will be surprised at how many will tell you they regeret it. And wish they could do there first time over.

Answer 8

Waiting till you get married happens less and less everyday. This is good for you . I waited till I was married and anymore it does seem hard, and looked down upon. You have been strong till now, dont cave in. Sex isnt the most important thing..........its your heart.

Answer 9

Unless u are religious, I do not see why wait.

You will get a chance to know if he is good in bed before the wedding. Some people turn out to be impotent or do not know how to give proper pleasure.

Answer 10

Yes, you should wait till you're married. Before marriage it's just a bad idea.

Answer 11

I know its hard but just keep waiting.you will be glad that you did wait till you got married.Because there are alot of STD out there and you don't want to get one of those.nore do you want to get pregnant.so just wait until you get married to have sex for the frist time.you'll be better off for it.good luck
