  • Lack of game? Oooh you mean wait on PURPOSE?! Hmmm... Uhhh.... Wait, there's.... Nope. Hmmmmmmm. What about-? Nope, not that either. Uuuummmm... Can I get back to you on that one?!
  • STD's, or maybe they have their own personal belief, or they're old fashioned.
  • There are none. Marriage is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for a mutually monogamous relationship. One can be in a mutually monogamous relationship without marriage. Many married people are swingers. This eliminates the STD argument. Marriage is also not a guarantee of support or financial stability for childrearing. Many cohabitating couples stay together longer and coparent better than married couples. In the end, it comes down to religious belief.
  • if you have a child from a one-night stand that's a bad thing, because if the parents don;t love each other that doesn't leave the kid in a very good place.
  • Health issues and to reduce the chance of unwanted pregnancy. Have a good weekend Castrate!
  • 1) Risk of disease 2) Risk of over-sexualizing or sexualizing at too early an age. 3) Risk of pregnancy. 4) Risk of not understanding the emotional issues that surround sex. 5) Risk of reputation. (By the way, I don't actually disapprove of sex before marriage, but these are reasons that ANYONE should consider...)
  • Why would you do that? Don't you test drive a car before you buy it?
  • i think some people like the idea of being a virgin on their wedding night. but your wedding night is supposed to be fun, and losing your virginity is not fun, so...
  • MONEY! I would have saved a bunch of it on movies, gas, booze, dinners, all in the relentless pursuit of a little premarital wesson oil wrasslin' match. The pursuit of the magic triangle can make you stupid in the head. It would have been neat to have the willpower and discipline to have foregone some of the pointless chasing and had some calmness.
  • there is no reason to wait at all !!... none !!! after all you test drive everything else in life so why wouldn't you test drive something thats going to last a life time ... you would ... to make sure everything is working and your satisfied with its performance
  • How about this one intimacy is something that was created to be beautiful and to bring 2 people who truly love each other closer together and increase the expression of that love through the act of being intimate or having sex if you will and while it is true that you don';t have to be married to have a true love waiting til you are married makes the first time that much more special but that is only the opinion of an old man who has old fashioned values
  • If you don't feel like it. I can't think of any other reason unless you have a sexual disease that was from birth and you don't want to harm anyone.
  • You will be less likely to bring sexually transmitted diseases to the marriage.
  • For your own self respect
  • So if you should have a child it won't be illegal.
  • If you must, and you both do, you could say for STD purposes.
  • So your partner's father doesn't shoot you?
  • Because the TV tells you too.
  • After marriage, you are bound to that person. I'm waiting because of my religion but also because the one I have sex with will be the only one I will be having sex with. I don't believe in multiple partners or having sex and then breaking up. I don't want to take that chance.
  • not that i feel like there is anything at all wrong with a person choosing to wait...i'd just like to point out that humans ARE NOT monogamous creatures...and the idea of having one partner and only one partner in a lifetime goes against the very nature of mankind...of course, this comes from a scientific standpoint..which i realize is considered invalid by many people that practice christianity...also...not all religions preach this ideal...heard of polygamy?
  • I really cannot think of any other widespread reason. Of course, one may argue that sexual abstinence until marriage has only really ever been required of women, and it is a social tradition stemming from patriarchy and codified through religion. This strongly supported viewpoint means that the real reason isn't religion, but a desire/means to ensure paternity. Personal reasons may be a belief that one's sexuality is precious and reserved to a select person, a desire to ensure that children are born into a stable, long-term relationship, and/or a desire to avoid STDs through abstinence.
  • I agree with the antigonerising, my bf is relgious but the reason he wants to wait is because you know pregnancy is a BIG deal. And both his sisters got pregnant not married so he is waiting to get married.
  • Some people are under the false impression that celibacy is more effective than condoms.
  • In some areas laws, and customs even secular would forbid it.
  • Religion' of the non-kooky version tells us what is BEST FOR US AS HUMANS, and helps us be emotionally, psychologically and spiritually mature - it is not an added extra like ice-cream with the aple pie. Thus, celibacy is healthy and required for some, even in marriage to heal, or sort things out, to avoidn "objectifying the partners, but like any discipline or skill needs lots of patience, practice and guidance from the wise teacher. Chastity is NORMAL within marraige, there is no "Unlimited" sex just becaue one is marreid, several facrtoes come into consideration; CELIBACY AND or CHASTITY are NORMAL also before marriage or after breaking up, divorcing or deatn of a partner/spouse until the emotions settle and one is healed or ready.
  • No reason I can think of, If you like the person and there is a chemistry then do it, particularly if you are in a relationship that will end in marriage anyway.
  • well for me....its the meaning of sex...i want it to mean so much more than just a one night stand. i would rather have that kinda of pleasure with one who i trust and love and know that they feel the same way. and when wedded that would be the point when i know for sure that he'd be the one i would want to share that special time with. and by special time i mean SEX.
  • you have a "no return" policy on yourself
  • "Safety sealed for your protection"
  • Some people just can't handle the emotional aspect of having sex. They need to be married.
  • Keeping your self-esteem in tact, protecting yourself from STDs, knowing that one day you'll be able to tell your future husband that you are infact pure and have saved yourself for him.
  • Celibacy is as effective as a contraceptive than staying indoors all your life protects you from getting hit by a car...it works, but the tradeoff is ridiculously bad. No real reasons i could think of.
  • STDS Pregnancy Reputation Your beliefs
  • some women would only want their husband to have sex with them, and for their husband to be their first
  • My top two guesses are the threat of STDs and desire to raise a family. I've not had to deal with either, though. I have had premarital sex, but I'm smart about who I'm with and protection. And children are out. Let women who WANT to have babies deal with that part of life.
  • For young men (from experience, fellas)... You really need to make sure you have your work ethic, and future plans SOMEWHAT in order before you break out the trouser warrior and start poking it around. The minute you break the seal on your virginity (if you do it too young), your priorities change from thinking about getting a job, to thinking about your next shot of leg. It's good stuff boys, I'm not going to deny it. Because if I had waited just a couple more years before I played "hide the sausage", I'd be driving a Mercedes.
  • the accidental baby plus the possible STDs you may acquire.
  • Waiting until you are married to have sex is a wonderful foundation to build a marriage on (not the ONLY foundation, but a good one). The knowledge that your spouse saved himself/herself exclusively for you makes the sex so much more special. It also eliminates any "sexual baggage" that could be brought into a relationship. Furthermore, if young people practiced abstinence until marriage it would not only eliminate the transmittal of STDs and pregnancy, but also eliminate that awkward pressure of trying to figure out when and with whom they should lose their virginity to. If you disagree with me, then I'd like you to answer this one question: in what ways could waiting until marriage to have sex weaken a marriage relationship?
  • im more intimate that way
  • I always thought respect for your future spouse is a good reason to not have sex before marriage. What man wouldn't be hyped to find out his car has never been driven? Think about it........
  • You don't have to worry about pregnancy or STD's. You don't have to worry and fret if you should have waited longer or for someone else.
  • Besides my christian faith, I always loved the idea of having one man for the rest of my life. I see sex as an emotional and spiritual connection. A lot of people tell me things like, "You can't buy the car unless you take it for a test drive" but that really doesn't bother me. I like the idea of my future husband and I getting to know each other sexually, seeing what works, what doesn't work and trying new things. I don't see a point in having sex with multiple partners. I've seen so much heartbreak, regret and pregnancy scares with my friends that I know I would not want to put myself through that.
  • You are a lot less likely to get your heart broken is you wait until you have the lifetime committment that marriage gives you. You have a lot lower chance of having that feeling of being used.
