I am very surprised at hwo many people cited finding sexual compatibility. What if you waited till marriage and had nothing to compare it to? Wouldn't you be automatically statisfied? How about the gift of purity to your supposed one and only? And finally what happens if the condom breaks or BC doesn't work and you get pregnant?
Largest single cause of lifelong poverty in America is single parenthood. Children born to single parents are more likely to commit crime and suicide.
Studies also show that people who don't wait until marriage or live together first are more likely to divorce.
Keep the honest answers coming. Very enlightening!

Let me answer this backwards...
Yes, I am on BC
No, I have not ever taken a purity pledge.
I think it's very important NOT to wait until marriage to have sex. Certainly, wait until you find the right man/woman. I do not condone sex as a teen. But sex is a big part of marriage and compatibility. Yes, you can grow and change and experiment with each other. Sometimes, though, if it's not there it's not there and nothing can change that. For myself, I have had sex with only one man, and I will be marrying him in June. We waited until we were sure of each other before doing anything. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Knowing the availability of condoms,and general safe practices, lets just skip right past your opening statement, shall we.
Have I taken a purity pledge?
No...but why don't I do that right here and now then...
I pledge to partake in any and all safe sex activities (be they physically, or emotionally) that appeal to me on an animal magnetism/ lust / sinfully delicious basis, purely out of desire and passion.
Though practicing unsafe sex is foolish, I believe waiting until you're married is equally foolish.
The best sex I've ever had was most definitely not while married. But then, sex for me is not simply a matter of procreation.

I think it's very important because sex should be something special done with that special person. Being a virgin is like a glass of water. Everyone wants a clean a glass of water. No one wants to drink water that's dirty. Same goes for a person. You wants someone "clean" not someone who's been sleeping around with tons of people. But most people think it's as common as saying hello and that everyone does it. No, I have not take a purity pledge or been on birth control.

Just because there are condoms and birth control options, doesn't mean that you aren't risking everything when you choose to have sex before marriage. You are just robbing your spouse of that special experience that God designed for the 2 of you to share.
I will always regret the choices I made before I knew my husband. He waited until our wedding night, but I had robbed him of that part of me many years before that. I just wish that I could show people how much that they are missing out on and that they could learn from my mistakes without having to make their own!

I am only trying to sleep with one man - but I am not really waiting for marriage. I am waiting on someone worth my time. And yes, I am a little skeptical about STDs and all that other bad stuff out there

These days waiting to have sex until you are married is very uncommon. I believe it is a person's own decision to make and shouldn't be shouldn't be looked upon badly. As long as proper protection used it is a personal decision.

I think it is very important to save yourself for marriage. I think it very great time for you and your husband/wife to share on your wedding night.
I myself made some mistakes and blew it. I had always said I was going to wait...never even questioned it.... But things happen. I would like to be pure from now til marriage though I don't have sex but once you start things...it's very hard to stop.
