Why is it that it seems like no other girls are waiting until marriage to have sex anymore? My friends mother is a nurse and told me about an 8 year old that had a baby the other day and is in critical condition. I had a big circle of friends with me who were going to wait and all of them bailed, Im the only one left. Im not going to give in. When I was in 6th grade my mom bought me a ring (its really pretty) to wear on my ring finger as a promise to god and my future husband, not her, to wait until marriage. All the guys Iv dated previosuly thought it was cool... until they cheated with someone who would have sex with them. I finally found one who is waiting too (thought he already broke it when he was younger) but he cheated on me too and had sex with someone. He felt really bad about it, and I forgave him, one more slip up and hes out, but I was just wondering if any other girls are waiting out there, and if you didnt wait, do you regret it now or no?

I have been married for over 5 years now. I waited until I was married. I was 28 when I got married and still a virgin. It is very special that you are waiting. Someday you will find a wonderful man that will complete you! And when you do, all that waiting will be so worth it! So, keep up the good work. A man will love and respect you and treasure you for keeping your self pure. It is so worth the wait. I am going to each my kids that waiting until you are married is the way to go.

Im a 26 year old man but I was a virgin when I got married at 21..A male 21 years old and a virgin is even more rare so I understand where you are coming from...But im so glad I waited because I have more self respect and dignity knowing I did the right thing and pleased God at the same time...And my wife was a virgin too and it is a very beautifull experiance to share with your partner...Just remember you have already made it this far..and you CAN make it all the way untill you are properly married and there are plenty of good guys out there that are mature and understand the sacredness of marriage as well as you do...I have high regards for young men and women like yourself that remain chaste untill marriage so good luck...

I never intended to wait until marriage. For a while I considered the possibility I might never marry (that turned out to not be true). But I was very well educated on birth control & safety so I didn't see any reason to wait.
I'm not sorry. It's true that it sometimes seemed emotionally shallow and I never really got into it until I was with my husband, but I'm glad I had some experience so that I know that about myself - that it's a very emotional experience for me and no one but my husband will ever do.
I think the curiosity would have been bad for me. I've got enough perspective now that I see clearly how wonderful my situation is, and I choose this because it's really great, not because I don't know any differently.
I think everyone is different, though, and you should absolutely do what's right for you, BECAUSE it's right for you. You don't need any other reason.

I've waited. Not because I think god will love me all the more for it or because I'll go to hell if I don't (come on girls, do you really think that god cares about one girl's virginity with everything he has going on right know? will have going on?) or because it shows respect to my future husband ( because let's face it, he's probably not going to be in the same virginal state as you are when you do eventually get married).
But, it's because I haven't found the right man to share it with. That's not saying that that man will definitely be or wont be my husband. Only you can choose to give a man your virginity and that can be on your wedding night or next week, it's all up to you and when it feels right.

Don't let your mom or anybody scare you about premarital sex. Do what your heart tells you to. Personally I'm still a virgin at 14 and I have no plans where and when, I just live each day at a time. It would be great if you waited until you were married but if you love the guy, it's ok. Follow your heart.

I am 26 now and I didn't wait. I had sex really young and got pregnant. I gave birth to a beautiful girl and though it was hard I did it and we are very happy now. I am now married and pregnant with my second child. I don't regret having my daughter, but I regret not waiting because now I know that one day she will be in your shoes and I won't be able to tell her to follow my example because I did the wrong thing. I hope this helps and I think it is a great thing that you are doing.

Yes I am wating, No i do not regret it at all!!! Its soo worth it & its morally right. I don't care if I am a 40 year old viring I will still not have sex uless I am married. I am also not worried about finding a guy, because if one comes along great but i am not gonna fret over it, plus i plan to adopt kids when i am 25 so I will have my kids & no woman really needs a man to be happy, they jus think they do our have been hurt emotionally, most likely. Anyways im 16. Wait!! I'm sure itll be worth it. YOu GO Girl!!

Im waiting until im married to have sex because it is a sin to have sex before marriage and by waiting im showing that i honor God. I also think that people who do wait for marriage are showing alot of respect and a sense of maturity towards themselves and others.So its good to know that there are people out there who dont give into having premarital sex because your virginity is a very special thing both to you and God.Not only am I waiting for marriage but my brothers and sister are also saving themselves to.Im happy for you. Your a very smart girl and i hope everything in life goes great for you. ^-^
God bless

I didn't wait. I'm one of the few who doesn't regret it though. I started dating my fiance when I was 17. We now have 2 children now and have been together more than 4 years. He was my first and only. Not many guys are like that though. Most leave as soon as they get what they want. Good for you for waiting though. Good luck.
