I'm just curious. I'm waiting. However, whenever people find out I'm waiting, they always ask me why. I have never heard anyone ever ask someone who wasn't waiting why they weren't waiting.
So, for curiosity sake - for those of you who aren't waiting - why not?
And for those of you who are waiting - I'll go ahead and ask you why, too.

I did wait and it was GREAT!! I am so glad I did. Not to say that it was GREAT the first night but it has ended-up being great. I love knowing that my husband is the only man I will ever make love too. I am so proud of you!!
PS I was 28 when I got married and I had several people say I was CRAZY for waiting that long, but I knew I was doing what I believed in. :)

I didn't wait but I wish I had. Don't let anyone make you feel self-conscious about your decision to wait. It's the right choice. The reason people ask you why is because we live in an immoral and sexually obsessed society now. Evil is winning! Stay strong and always continue to do the right thing. You will be a much happier person.

I didn't wait because I really don't want to be a 40 year old virgin.
The waiting til marriage is a great concept for those who will marry young (under 25). But what about those who are older, over 25, 30? What about some who may never marry? I guess if a person isn't going to marry, they he/she does not have to save oneself for marriage.

I did not wait. I did say, however, that my first time would be with someone I loved. It was my highschool sweetheart. I am glad I didn't wait because I loved him and it is what we wanted to do. I remember everything about my first time. I think to wait or not to wait is a personal decision and you have to do what is best for you. Remember, if you do decide to go for it, there is no turning back. Sex is like eating potato chips, it is addicting and you can't just do it once.

I didn't wait because I think it's important to have different experiences, and when I did it, I felt like it was the right time for that experience.. The first guy I did it with is the guy I ended up engaged to, so although we've both had others, it all comes back to us ending up together in the end.. Weird but true!!

You are doing the right thing... I was not a virgin when I married however the man I married is the one and only person I have ever had sex with and I was his first as well. I guess I got lucky... Waiting is the christian thing to do and you will be rewarded for your patience. Good Luck

I waited for religious reasons. My husband was very patient; glad I waited, he told me he respected me more for sticking to my beliefs. Like someone else said, it is special knowing you have only one man for life. You don't have to explain it to people who are rude enough to ask. They probably wished they had waited as well. It's your business. I think its great. Don't compromise your values just because everyone else is doing it.

No I never waited. Why should you...I think waiting is a outdated stance on it but thats just me. It is much more practical to go out and experience life (including sex) then at least that way your making educated choice's based on what you've experienced, and through those experiences growing and coming to understand yourself as a person more. How can you make a commitment for life if you have not even really experienced or had an intimate relationship.

well i am not married, but also not a virgin. but i have a friend who waited about 1.5yrs after her marriage to have sex with her husband and she felt it was well worth the wait, for both of them. she said of course it was hard and very tempting to give in, but they both waited and it made the sex in their marriage more intimate than other relationships prior to their marriage.
i say wait. its a great gift.
and who cares what other people say anyway....they dont live your life for you.

I waited cause I wanted that to be something special for just me and my husband. To me that is something that is very special and I wouldn't just give it to anybody. It makes my husband feel very loved that I chose to share that with him and only him. If you ask me I wouldn't want to have sex with everyone that he had sex with-- that is just grose. And yes my hubby waited for me also. People don't view sex as something sacred between husband and wife and that is why marriages don't last.
