I am pushing 30, have been with my husband for 7 years, married for 3. He was my one and only man I have slept with. We knew each other for just under 3 years before making love, and this was after we got engaged. I think my man waited long enough, we were obviously settled ready for marriage, I knew therefore that he was the one, so there was no more reason to wait. No regrets and am proud that I waited so long. You work out how old I was...... It is a personal choice for all to decide, but I wish there were more people who wait til marriage or at least after an engagment or many months into a relationship. I am sure the society would be more moral, stable. People these days - kids really - just give it up like that, it means nothing to them. It is a real shame. I value my body and morality. I am NOT religious either, by the way, just live by my own personal religion and values. Well done you too. Don't know how old you are, but I make it about 24/ 25 when I lost my virginity.

I'm also saving myself for marriage. My current boyfriend isn't a virgin and i don't have a problem with it.
For me its my morals. I have always thought that sex was saved for marriage. All you hear these days are these STDs and such that are going around.
A close friend of mine got pregnant at 19. She's a good mother but i couldn't have a child right now. And in my high school class at least 7 people or more(there are like 80 some people in my class) have kids already. its just terrible. I'm only 20...and been out of school a year and a half. Why risk it is what i'm thinking. if i were to get pregnant the first time, i'd already be married and have my husband there to help.

if u r a christian ur family proabably taught u its a wrong thing..n its nailed into ur head by everyone!.. but if u get into a relationship w/someone and start caring for the person, fall in love, wanna get married that kinda stuff, i guess if u put off the marriage for a long time for whtever reason, evenutally u end up doing it.. bcoz.. u knw u r to b w/this person n marriage in a Church or so.. is just a formality kind of thng (at this point) bcoz u r already committed to thm.. completely!.............. but in tht case, ppl wud also think tht u might as well wait, to keep it more .. i guess the close word is 'sacred' .. if u knw wht i mean.. sorry im not so good at explaining tht .. but if u really love some1 .. u shudn't mind waiting ..

I'm glad to hear that some people are still waiting until marriage to have sex; however, that's not for everyone. I grew up in a Christian environment, went to church, and even went to a private, Christian school; therefore, I told myself that I was going to wait until my wedding night to have sex. Things happened. I wish that I had waited, but one can't go back. If someone wants to wait until marriage to have sex . . I think that's a wise decision; however, with today's influence of sex, how well will one keep that decision??

Sex is an important part of compatibility between people. There is emotional AND sexual intimacy, and you can wait until marriage if you so choose, but that whole belief originates from Christianity in the concept of sex as a means ONLY for creating babies. I don't agree at all with that! People should have consensual sex before marriage if they want to, whether you are gay or straight, you don't have to wait. If you think sex isn't that important and it won't matter, you are wrong and you'll be in for a surprise!

You should be proud of yourself. I think if you have waited this long you should continue to wait until you are married. Someone people would say take a test drive - but we are not talking about a car. And with all the stuff going on out there now - I would say continue to wait!
Be strong - Good Luck!

There is nothing wrong with waiting until your married. Good for you for having the will power and for being strong enough to admit that you want to wait. I said the same thing but it didn't work out that way and i wish that i had waited. You'll be able to say that you gave yourself completely to the person that you marry and that's something that most people can't say.

I'm a virgin and personally I'd like to wait for marriage. But you never really know what'll happen. If the right one comes along, then we'll see.....

I think it's a mistake to wait until marriage. If you don't sleep with someone before you marry them, you won't know if you're sexually compatible with each other. You'd be stuck with bad sex for the rest of your life. You'd be surprised how important of an issue that can be! Besides, morality is relative.
