    Once I thought I would save myself for marriage.

    Then I thought it wouldn't be for marriage, but would be for true love.

    But now I think that you can't really ever know what true love means for sure, or know when you have it. Instead I've decided to save myself for someone who I won't regret it with and I have real, strong feelings for and know those feelings are reciprocated. For a time when I'd feel entirely comfortable calling myself a non-virgin. I'd also rather be sober, or at least sober enough to remember it with reasonable clarity.

    That time will be soon, I hope. Not to jinx it, but I think it will be soon.

    I think it's natural to have sex.

    I also think it's respectable that people save themselves for marriage, though.

    Like, i don't agree with their motivation, but I will strongly support someone that does something out of the believe that it is meaningful and correct, because that belief MAKES it meaningful, to them, and as long as it hurts no one, it's an admirable thing to act according to the standards you choose to aim for, e.g. purity until marriage.

      Less likely to get stuck with a baby and I dont want to stay with someone who will not wiat and try to rape me infact I am off guys I already have had alot of men try to rape me . I want to wait till marriage becuase its like getting a boyfreind if someone is commited he will say i love you enough to date you not just to fuck you . If a boyfreind has known you long enough hell say I love you enough to engage not be your boyfreind till I find a prettier chick in the next month and if you two choose to you can adopt or have a baby yourselves . Thats the piont of waiting so you know they are commited enough to say yah I will commit i am not gonna keep asking you to fuck me but not willing to hook up with you becuase you are just a worthless whore if a guy asks for sex but does not want to be your boyfreind and keeps asking for sex than he see you as a whore . If a boyfreind stays with you over a year and is willing to marry you thats a good man and a very respectable man . anyone who gets married but cheats on thier spouse is not respecting thier partner anyone who beats thier spouse is not respecting thier partner . However I have made a decision never to hook up again ^^ after what happened with the last few poeple .

    Yes, I think it's a respectable thing to do.

    I hope to one day marry a virgin, and she deserves the same from me. That's why.

  • Marriage benefits women far more then it benefits men.

    Every married woman I know is happier then every married man.

      Why you say that?

      "Most" married men that I know seem to be pretty damn happy. They even seem to be happier than the women that they married. I could be wrong but from what I've seen.

      I'm talking about my brothers friends and my friends husbands.

      • I didnt mean to imply that the men are totally miserable at all, they dont seem to be, BUT I just dont see them as being as happy as the women are. The women tend to be the one's in charge as well, and the men just seem to put up with whatever is asked of them. Basically the women get taken care of, and the men do the taking care of.

          Yeah I know what you are saying there. My mom was that way too but at the same time my dad was always unorganized and messy so she really had to help guide him to be a little cleaner. A lot of men can be rather messy and unorganized. Although at the same time there are a lot of ones that I've seen rather organized too.

          I definitely feel like I need to be with a guy that is rather organized considering I'm not. lol. I sure got yelled at a lot by my mom, I understand why now though.

          Also some guys I've seen want to be the ones to take care of the women too. So it just all depends. There are a lot of women who want to be treated like a princess which I don't get, I'll never be that way. I so hope to marry someone that our relationship would be a 50/50, we take care of eachother. :)

          • I am pretty neat and organized, maybe even too much so.

            You have a good outlook on the 50/50 part of it. Every successful relationship is a give and take.

    I'm not necessarily waiting for marriage, but I definitely want to at least wait until engagement. I don't feel like marriage is some magic barrier that makes it suddenly time to get laid, but I don't want to go fucking any random guy I happen to date, either.

    It's ridiculous and you are just depriving yourself of pure joy. There is no such thing as true love.

    I am saving sex for marriage mostly because I want to be sure of the person I am giving virginity to.

    I always said I wanted to wait until marriage... then reality set in and I realized it was pointless. I'm 26 now and haven't been married, am I expected to still be a virgin or have married young to have sex (yes, I've known these people)? I'm not religious, so I don't have that aspect affecting my decision. Saving yourself until marriage doesn't make your marriage more likely to succeed. While "test driving the car before you buy it" doesn't guarantee a lasting marriage either, I think it's the best policy. If you're not compatible in the bedroom... your relationship will suffer.

    I decided years ago that I'm never getting married, so the whole "save yourself for marriage" thing doesn't really work for me.

    I used to want to do that, then i realized that as long as the person loves you back, it's true love, and i don't want to get married. Atheists getting married other than legally doesn't really make sense, seeing as it's a religious affair. I think it's typical, but I'm not sure it's normal. At least according to nature

    Yes; Sex is solely for making babies and I'd never want to raise a child if I'm not married to the father.

    I'm saving myself not because of God, though i am a christian, but because anytime i'd fool around i felt guilty.

    I'm not saving myself for marriage, but nor do I feel the need to have sex. In a relationship, I don't think it's a good idea to wait until marriage, but that's just me. I think after awhile of being in a relationship and knowing that you can trust your significant other is a good time to start taking things more seriously.

    I think it's perfectly normal in wanting to do that but you don't have to wait for marriage, you can love someone before. I think it is a great idea to do and it will make it even more special for the first time.

    I didn't save myself for marriage. I was a wild child. But I am married now. I onlt have sex with my husband.
    My husband saved himself for marriage, he only wanted to have sex with his wife and his wife alone. And no, he wasn't messing around about that. He really WAS a virgin.

    While I don't necessarily agree with the mentality, I respect people who do that.
