I might be a dinosuar
I am very traditional when it comes to the topics of dating and marriage. It feel like people with my values and beliefs are becoming extinct and I am not going to let that happen.
Sex is sacred. It is not something that you just do. Respect your body and make sure that who ever you choose to be your partner respect your body too. I am speaking to both men and women.
You are not alone. I will be 25 this month and I am still with my first (and only). Plus, the fewer guys you are intimate with, the less bagage you will have and that will allow you to have that healthy relationship that leads to marriage.
I agree with you totally about sex. sex is a martial issue and it is very specail to give that to a man other than your husband.
um... it's very special to give that to a man other than your husband?? hahaha r u sure you typed the right thing jennka35?
Anyways!! I think 2shy2bbf is so wrong.. the LESS people you sleep with the more inexperienced you are and you'll wonder what are other people like and you get used to how that one person is and they may suck and you never know. Runon. I know.
I'm not saying sleep around.. I'm just saying you don't have to be MARRIED to have sex. Good Lord.. With all the divorces happening.. They practically get married have sex and divorce in a week. hahaha
Sex before marriage is not disrespecting your body. I think as long as you love that person and care deeply about them, GO FOR IT!
I say sample a couple of different things before you sign on for life. You need to have a little experience before settling down. Otherwise, like jjacksis says, you'll always wonder and that may become an intrusion later on down the road and cause something you may regret. I'm in my forties and am glad that I sampled because at least now I know what I want and I went out and found out. Not to say that I slept around ( I can count the number on my fingers) but at least I got a true sense what is out there before I committed so now I'm completely satisfied and have no reason to look for something different.
first and foremost both men and women can have sex, we have needs and we do not need to be married. Second I do believe that we have to be careful since in this time and age we have many transmitted diseases that we have to look out for. Next, as long as you have respect for yourself, your intimate partner and know what you are getting yourself into you are not disrespecting yourself in anyway.
I agree. Because I was rise with the same morals and became a married counselor. I will like to get back to the good old days when you believe in your marriage and made it work, and never give up on your partner and yourself.
I am 33 and I decided that I wasn't ever living with a man until I was married or engaged to him.
Once a girl moves in with a guy why should he marry her??
I made that mistake years ago and after 3 years and no commitment I moved out. Now I am happily engaged and getting married in December to a wonderful man. I am not moving in until after the wedding.
