Boy, I truly hope the 50/50% split just reflects youth and not, well, Internet addiction and shyness.

I am frankly dubious about the whole idea that no sex before marriage is somehow a good idea (because from what I can see it is just the opposite, and it probably far queers more marriages than it benefits), but to each his own I guess.

no way. you should never marry then have sex. what if the girl doesn't fullfill your every need? you'll end up cheating or divorcing, which is worse.

i'd say a handful is a good # of girls/boys to have done it with before you really know whats going on.

If your reason for getting married is sex, then maybe you shouldn't be getting married in the first place.

I strongly believe sex is a VERY VERY important part of a relationship. If its something i'm going to be doing every day for the rest of my life, with a person, its VERY important.

? Does that make sense ?

The Mr had only kissed one girl before me, and he was 22 when I met him.

I can assure you that he hasn't missed out on anything! ;)

Emulex...

Yes, it makes sense. It makes perfect sense. But...

It doesn't require prior experience to be good. Sex is about interaction - What's happening between your souls means a lot more than what's happening "down there." If the soul to soul part's already there, the rest will fall into place by itself.

Boy, I have had a number of loving relationships and many sexual partners, and I just don't buy into this theory at all. I think pre-marital inexperience has led to many, many divorces on the part of baby boomers and others, and I know I have been in love with women whose relative lack of sex drive ended our relationships.

I know when I am dating someone sexually inexperienced, it is near-impossible to bring her up to speed, so to speak, and I think the chicken-and-egg theory is at work there. A woman (or, I suppose, a man, from his partner's perspective) who is fundamentally not that interested in sex (and who, as such, has had very few partners) ends up being, for lack of a better phrase, a dull lay. Tough to keep an interesting relationship alive with such a person. I frankly prefer a woman with experience, who enjoys sex.

i agree tee. I've had girls that want sex once per week, some twice a week, and now i've finally found someone with the same desire and libido as me. I've never been told &quot;NO&quot;. never. matter of fact, many of the times i'm persuaded into it by the girl :) she rocks my world. in more ways than that of course.

I'm not talking about people who have no interest in sex, I'm talking about choosing not to explore that interest outside the commitment of marriage. I would be lying my ass of to say I have no interest in sex, but I choose to wait. I'll be making up for that once I'm married.

WOW! Half the votes are No! Good riddens!

I took a vow of celebasy (spelling?) in 1994. I haven't had sex since then. I am going to keep this vow until I am married. My girlfriend of 2 years now is still a Virgin. She's 31.

I hope any of you who are not married can see that it's not right to have premarital sex. Even if you're not a virgin anymore, you still can quit.

But that's just your own call ;)

Practice makes perfect when you are practicing with the same person.

Change partners and you are starting all over again!

Heh, the Mr was a vigin when we were dating and we saved intercourse until our wedding night.

I knew it was gonna be good because all I had to do was hop on his lap with all my clothes on and make out with him to, um, feel the earth shake.

To this day I look back and think.... Wow! There was something going on that was bigger than just sex.
