Is it normal to wait until marriage for sex?

I am a teenage girl who has been with her boyfriend for nearly a year. I am gettin pressure from a lot of my peers to have sex, but i think it is right to wait for marriage. My boyfriend said he doesnt mind waiting, but my friends tell me that if i dont, he might cheat to get what he needs. I love him very much and he loves me. Am i being selfish if i wait until marriage? Or is this normal?

    To start off with om actually shocked at some of the replies on this post. People saying that waiting is "stupid" and that by waiting you "ruin your youth". Different people have different opinions about how they want to live their lives and what makes them happy. I don't understand why anyone should decide for EVERYONE else what is right or wrong, stupid or smart.

    What im trying to get at is its your life and whatever you believe is 'right' then do it. If you want to wait till marriage then do! Anyone who will force you to do otherwise does not respect you nor your decision (Which let me emphasis should be done by YOU and ONLY you). Its actually nice to see that there are still people out there who grasp how meaningful sex should be and that it is not something that should be rushed into.

      That is because the replies are from a bunch of slutty harlots. You know how sluts are. They don't have any shame at all. They want to bring you to their level since they have no self respect.

    so if your "peers" are pressuring you to kill someone, you would be obliged to do it right?
    just like how you want to have sex now.

    kids these days.
    they only care what their friends think and care for their friends.

    Wait until you're ready and the choice is completely yours. Never do it for the wrong reasons.

    Abnormal? Normal? Not the issue. If you are not ready you are not ready. Don't let anyone pressure you. Your boyfriend sounds like a good guy, so don't worry.

  • Yeah, do what you want, like a dew others said.

    And if he cheats on you then so what? If thats the kind of guy he is then you shouldnt want to be with him.

    It is normal. You may experience some dry years though since almost nobody marries to her teenager love.

    I say... Have sex after you're married. Satistics have shown that people who wait till aftet they are married. Enjoy their honeymoon better than people who have already slept together. It just makes it more exciting and meaningful to wait.

    He may cheat but don't let that change your values. If he does just find someone new

    Tell him how you feel. Lay all your cards on the table and take it from there he may not want to wait for something that might not happen and you should not be forced into something you do not want todo. You might split but such is life.

    so you plan on getting married soon? because i doubt he is going to wait 10 years to marry you and finally get some.

  • Wait until marriage. It's a sacred thing, and has been destroyed by people just doin it for fun, and porn. It takes away the meaning behind it. Wait, if he really loves you he'll wait too

    Omg people are stupid!
    Don't have sex until your married, imagine how amazing your wedding night will be. Trust me, you don't want your husband to be like the 10th guy you have had sex with cuz it won't be special anymore.

    • First of all, a virgin having sex on their wedding night is like giving a handgun to a blind man. Second, does sex have a half-life? After 10 experiences you think it's like cleaning toilets?

      @TweetyGirl you've obviously never had sex. The very first time you have sex is usually bad, awkward and maybe painful. Sex in itself is not a special, magical thing, it's just sex. The person you're with makes it special, doesn't matter it's the 100th time you do it with that person, or if you've done it before; it's like a new experience but you already know your way around things.

    i don't know.
    its ok but sex really brings couples closer together. i know thats what happened to me. but if youre not doing it then it means youre not making sex the most important thing, which is good.

    Firstly, it's not ok to have or not have sex just because "you have to". You should decide when's the time for it, usually when you trust eachother enough. If you want to, you're not going to hell for it, it only means you love the guy and are willing to move on.
    Honestly, i see the whole "no sex till marriage" thing as an excuse and it would be a bit offensive and frustrating after a while, and i'd seriously question our relationship. Not saying you should have sex to keep him, thats another dumb idea, but do it when ready.

    Life is to short to not enjoy one of this worlds greatest pleasures SEX! But im not a believer in a judge mental religious group tellin u what's right or wrong either... But sex is amazing! Only do it with people u trust though. But I wouldn't worry about the marriage thing. That's just another way for a Guy to rush into a marriage to get laid!

    Do what you think is right. While a lot of people end up regretting sex, almost no one regrets waiting.

    This is normal. Anyone who says it isnt probobly has an STD. Trust me you do not want that. Do not let anyone pressure into sex. It is perfectly normal to wait. Some people believe in waiting till marriage. It means you actually have a lot of self control. Not everyone who wants to fuck you is going to want to put a ring on your finger. Just remember this. Since a lot of people do not realize it. Also if they fuck you and you get pregnant that does not mean they want the child or you. Sure they are paying child support but that will not mean the child has a father/mother.

    it's completely normal! i would recommend after marriage cause if someone puts the "protection" the wrong way on accident without you knowing... you might end up with a child... and teen moms struggle through school when they have kids. trust me. my friends a teen mom and school is really hard for her. and on top of that, her boyfriend left cause he cant take the fact that hes a father.

    Dont listen to your friends, have sex when you want to, not on command, or better yet, when you're married :)

    Waiting until marriage is stupid. Because one, if he is crappy in bed you will have to deal with a crappy sex life the rest of your life.

    And two, you are young, and yes the chances of him cheating are very good. Men specifically at that age cannot be serious about women unless they get what they want.

    Three, your virginity is nothing special. Believe me. There is nothing special about losing it. It's painful at first there is blood but that's it. It's not romantic it's not special at all.

    Just get it over with unless the real reason is that you are too scared and self conscious.

      that's really stupid. Just because he's bad once he's always going to be bad? and if he cheats on her he's a fucking idoit who deosnt deserve her. and WTF loosing it IS SPECIAL. Yea it's gonna hurt but you're loosing it with the person you LOVE. not some gross one night stand who's just gonna leave you.
