i think its dumb. and in my eyes i have to say SEX IS NOT SPECIAL whats the point in waiting if you have a chance to do it agian its not like you going to do it once and no more sex. do what you want but i feel its no reason to save yourself.

Ummm this may be in poor taste but since a president actually brought it up before a congressional hearing...does oral count?

It's up to you to wait for marriage, good luck on that. I don't think I'd date a girl who wanted to wait till marriage. Might put undue pressure on me to marry before I was ready for it.

This old school tradition really worked a lot better when people were getting married at 16 and dead at 40. Nowadays the average age of marriage is around 30. I actually put marriage above sex,making a vow would be more sacred to me than sex.

I love sex, don't get me wrong. With my last girlfriend, I rarely had sex with because I couldn't stand her so I can hold off on sex for a very long time.

For now, the right 5 fingers and palm does the trick...hahaha. Gross

wow steven..

Hey, I actually agree with you that it is harder to wait now than it used to be. When people used to get married at 16, most of them were probably barely ready to have sex anyway...now most teenagers lose their virginity around 16-18. So I agree, it is harder to wait these days. I'm not looking for marriage until I at least graduate college and have a degree. But it hasn't been hard for me to wait physically yet, I just dont get myself in situations that could be very tempting. However, it is hard emotionally sometimes...I have had a broken heart before because I really liked a guy who just really wanted different things than me, so in that sense, it is a struggle.

What are you watching him or something?

sorry but that sounds so wrong in the context presented.

Reenie, do whatever makes you comfortable. Nothing wrong with how you choose to live your life. People just view sex differently, no one way is right.

yep watching him on webcam

sex really isn't that important. When it is done for the first time it should be special. I regret the way I lost my virginity, it was just a skanky one night stand, I wish it was with someone I was in love with. Oh well, can't change the past.

awww hun! I totally admire you for you decision. Im not waiting for marriage but I'm waiting to fall in love but it's so hard because it really seems like for a guy to be interested i'll have to put out...i've been considering for the longest time to just lose it to my next bf so guys will actully like me more but i really dont want to

don't do it just to be liked angelina...if it comes at a special time before marriage that's fine, but don't do it just to make him happy.

lets just have sex. and hunt virgins

yeah, angelina...if you dont want to do something, then dont do it just to please someone else. you'll only make yourself miserable. if you feel you're ready to have sex with your next boyfriend and you really want to do it, then go ahead, but dont compromise your morals just to make someone else happy. i almost gave in once, too...its really hard but just stick to what you want you decide.

i completely agree. i know i'm not ready to have sex yet. and it's my body, so it's my choice. but it does make relationships kind of complicated sometimes.

Props to that! live with/for no regrets!

ok well stick to your morals I was like you I dated a guy for a year and a half when I was 15-17.I didnt want to have sex before marriage and I caved under the pressure of him dumping me for someone else so he could have sex with...We had sex when I was 17 I got preg. with my son and we got married long story short after he had 5 affairs the marriage ended he not only had no respect for me he had none for himself or our marriage so please stick with your morals when you cave in under pressure you could end up like me a single mom...Stay focused on your morals and personal feelings...Good luck to you

You're young & should be having fun....Unfortunately you are a victim of 'politically correct' morals & actually believe it....

our society places 'sex' in its own category as if it is a crime to have it, yet everyone loves it...I ask, "Do you put off kissing until after marriage, or holding hands?" Do you carry a book of rules that lets you know what is acceptable & what is not?....some people do you know....they call it the Bible & then when they're not at church they go back to being their hypocritical selves....off course, the Bible doesn't say only sex after marriage....your pastors & parents made that one up...

you can't drive until your 16, you can't drink until your 21,those are laws...but you can't have sex until your married? and Santa brings us presents....

& when you finally do marry, you end up wondering why did I wait(waste) all this time for the a$$hole I'm with....

thanks, buttrfly. i'm a pretty strong-willed girl. haha. if i don't wanna do something...you're not gonna make me do it. =]
i'm sorry things didn't work out for you.

Yea I don't really understand people, their psyche is very hard to understand.

Oh honey, just keep doin what you're doin. Its NOT unrealistic to wait for what you want. You're an absolutely beautiful girl, I doubt you're going to have much trouble finding a man that will fall in love w/ you and marry you one day.
