The whole abstaining till marriage thing is not so popular in Europe.. Just look at the Italians!
It's not a thing that is talked about or practiced, well not that I have ever heard of anyway.... If I had waited till I was married to the person who I first had sex with we would have been divorced long before now, we were great friends, soul mates even, but sexually TOTALLY incompatible!!! It was a disaster from the word go!
Is it better to wait only to get divorced a few months down the line? NO!
Like all things you should think about the consequences of your actions, look before you leap etc, but you do have to ask yourself "What if we aren't compatible in bed?" You wouldn't know until you were married!
Anyone who says sex is not important in a relationship is wrong, or not doing it right! It's a wonderful sharing experience like no other on earth, and shouldn't be discounted so lightly! Most causes of marriage break up's are due to sexual problems...
Hey it's a great way to lose weight too... Just kidding... Well sorta!
Sex is fun, funny, a great way to be close to someone, and a way of showing your true feelings for someone in a physical way. Not telling all you kids out there to go do it or anything, but I think you are all savvy enough to work that one out for yourselves!
And what if you never meet the one you want to marry? You'd miss out on so much..
I often wonder if people who have waited until they are married think to themselves.. "Is this it?" And have affairs just to see if it really is it... I don't know that I would be able to stop myself from wondering what it would be like with someone else, maybe that's why there are swingers? I don't know.
