I Didn't Wait Until Marriage [Didn't Wait Until Marriage]

Is it important to wait? My parents obviously stress that its a post marriage thing, but is it honestly worth the wait?

[c=#BF0080] Honestly, it's an extremely personal decision. It's different for everyone and everyone should do what they feel is best for them. There is deff at least two sides to it. On one hand, I think it can be really good to wait, because then you truly value it and yourselves and save it for someone you really love and trust and care about and that feels the same way about you. And then you can truly focus on getting to know eachother and building a real deep genuine friendship that is what the best lasting relationships should be based on cuz that's what lasts. But then on the other hand, I think it can be highly overrated and can set some people up for dissatisfaction. I've heard that for some girls who have valued and protected their virginity so intensely, they can come to think of it as their worth (and it's not at all!) And it can be hard for them to give it up even after marriage because it almost feels wrong. Also, in some ways, if you've ever only been with one person, you may start to wonder what you are missing and what it's like to be with other people. You may feel like you settled and missed out. You also can feel like until you've been with a few people it's hard to know what you actually want and need and like and don't like. So there are deff lots of different things to consider and there are always pros and cons to any decision you make. So realize at the end of the day that it's very personal and you should do what you feel is right and best for you. And deff make the decision for yourself, and not just do what your parents or friends want you to do because it is your life and your choice, not theirs. They made and live with their own choices and you have to as well. So listen and consider others opinions and thoughts on it, but ultimately you should make the choice. There is no right or wrong answer to this. Only your choice and what's right for you. 😇[/c]

I can't imagine marrying someone without sleeping with them first. How else are you going to find out if you're compatible in bed? Saddling yourself for life (theoretically) with someone whose needs you can't fill or who can't fill yours is a recipe for misery, IMHO.

@sharqwe: Sounds what happens in a arranged marriage
GlitzandGlamber · 26-30, F
[c=#BF0080] Yes and there is this to consider too! As multiversality says, You also could have zero physical connection and just no chemistry. It does seem kinda hard to know without trying. But I guess if you only ever do it with one person, you wouldn't really know the difference anyway. Haha. Hard to say![/c]

@GlitzandGlamber: So true

Depends on if you think your body and it's worth means something to you. If you are cool with it being used or abused treated as a product which is fine a lot of people enjoy that then go for it but I would consider it heavily first
bhatjc · 46-50, M
Did you wait for marriage or no
tyratime · 26-30, F
@bhatjc: I did. And it has made us feel very special with each other but I respect and understand that is not for everyone
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@tyratime: Good for you that you waited. May your love for each other.Last for many years to come.

It's an antiquated ideal.

I agree 100%, it's much too good

As long as it's consensual it is your choice entirely but as long as your unsure it's probably not best to go ahead last thing you want is regret afterwards

My wife waited, I didn't. Turns out we were completely incompatible, suffered in a sexless marriage for 11 years and now we are separated and soon to be (best guess) divorced. Looking back I wish we hadn't waited and so does my wife. Would have saved a lot of heart break. Personally I'm glad my first time was with someone I loved (as much as you can know what love is at 14), and not a one night stand or something but each to their own. Your body and mind, your choice.

It is something that is worth waiting.
Are your parents Christians?
sharqwe · 22-25, F
@bhatjc: I have no idea. I think sometimes the religious stuff is a bit too much. Sometimes I think I've went too far. I'll just see how it goes with the next relationship.
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@sharqwe: i agree with you on that. Some times the religious stuff gets to far out. it's are life to live anyways. What ever happens down the road is up to you
@sharqwe: an attitude of seeing how it goes is a set up for failure if you want to wait... just saying. Though I understand you might not want to and that is fine.

To be honest as long as your safe and consensual why wait? It's too fun lol
markfu · 46-50, M
Not important at all so long as protection is involved and you both consent :D
bhatjc · 46-50, M
What you do is up to you lovely lady. If you want to wait or party like a rockstar

It's hard to answer this. I waited and sometimes I wish I hadn't...

Its worth waiting.
sharqwe · 22-25, F
what do you get out of it? And by no means am I trying to argue or anything. I just haven't heard any real reasons why waiting is important aside from the religious ones.

@sharqwe: The connection would be stronger than any thing ever. Having no past is enough to provide foundations for life time relationship.
