No and yes.
I had sex before marriage when I was an atheist, having no reason not to.
After I became a Christian at age 24, I took a vow of celibacy, and I did not have sex until I was married at age 29. It wasn't as hard to give up sex as I thought it would be, and I have to say it was totally worth it. There is a WORLD of difference between the sex I had as a young adult with guys who were not 100% committed to anything but getting their jollies and the sex I have enjoyed with my husband, who totally gets the idea of self-sacrifice and faithfulness and proved it before our marriage by his refusal to have sex outside our marriage vows...even with me.

ive been raised catholic from the time i was little, even went to a catholic school from pre-k till highschool. at a younger age ive always said id refrain from "sinful" behavior. later i experienced a lot with my family, and by 8th grade i no longer thought of these teachings as true. well, i lost my virginity sophomore year and have learned to set my own morals and standards while still believing in a higher power, just not the guidelines that can be traced back to such a different lifestyle.

I'm not married yet, an 18 years old virgin girl, I'll wait until marriage to have sex with the man that I'll choose to spend the rest of my life with, it will be the best gift to give my husband for our wedding. Also that's a part of my morals and beliefs that I have to stay virgin until I get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and I was 30 when I got married - not ugly, just
average looking - did face the temptation - got picked
on too for being a virgin - did not care - knew
what I valued - it was VERY worth while!
People are better diciplined, better committed,
not as worried, more secure, and good lovers -
the way God intended (by doing this)!
My husband remained a virgin as well -
same age, same belief.

No. But then I wasn't a Christian either at the time. Still my ex is the only man I've known.

No. Though I was not a Christian at that time. I am married and my husband and I are both saved by the grace of God. Sin of fornication forgiven by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Not at all.(wasn't raised in church) I didn't have a choice at first then I was very promiscuous later on because of the abuse.
