Just curious...did anyone actually wait until marriage to have sex?

It just seems so old fashioned, I'm wondering if anyone actually does this anymore, and what your experience was like when you did...good, bad, scary???

nope.

double nope.

Triple nope...especially since DF and I still aren't married and our daughter is 21 months old.

Yup. And it was really nice. Not great, but quite good. And now it's quite fabulous.

No...but sometimes I wish I did, but I guess that is one of those hindsight is 20/20 things...

Agree with 1:47. The couples I know who had limited to no experience on their wedding day are the happiest couples I know. The wives (I haven't asked the husbands) love to have sex and seem to have the same desire level has their husbands. Most of the women I know, including myself, who were "experienced" before marriage are the ones who never seem to want to do it anymore. I have one friend who serially cheats on her husbands, because she misses the thrill of infatuation, lust and all that new relationship drama.

No thank goodness. All I have now are the memories of my happy 20s.

I didn't wait, but honestly I don't feel like those experiences enriched me in any way. I could've been perfectly happy waiting.

I would be so sad to have remained a virgin until my 30s. Some of the best experiences of my life were with former boyfriends. I do have a friend who waited for religious reasons, and she doesn't regret waiting. Her life is also much slower and, to me, much more boring - the totally typical suburban mom. A lot of people who wait have a certain narrow view of life.

My husband and I were high school sweethearts. No way was I ready for any consequences at 17. We got married at 22 and waited until our Wedding Night. IT was an amazing way to end such a wonderful day with my best friend. I would not change the decision to wait for anything in the world.

I love how she has to put down others in order to justify the decisions she made. Perhaps your "friend" thinks you're a slut and finds your life...lacking.

I'm sure she does find my life lacking and she probably does think I'm a slut. That's okay, I own my life and my own decisions.
