What's the best reason to remain a virgin?

Let us know what you think about this. :)

It gets better the older you get. :)

This is what I told my daughter and I do mean it but, I also told her that when you sleep with someone (as females), we tend to become more emotionally invested than otherwise. IMHO - If the relationship fails, the regrets are numerous, and the heartache is unbearable.

Ok, I'm sure there are plenty of really good reasons to remain a virgin. But I have to say that option number four is the best! Volcano! :w00t:

Not to worry about STD's would be motivation enough for me.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I actually don't think any of those reasons are the best. I guess it's personal opinions really. For me it didn't mean squat to me. I guess being true to yourself if that's who you are is the best reason to be a virgin.

I voted: No worries about pregnancy

Here is my serious answer in how I feel about this issue in a serious matter, at the end is my goofy non-serious answer :)

but really I am saving myself for my husband. I truly believe that God wants me to, and if I want to follow His will and truly do what He wants me to that involves waiting. My Fiance' is also a virigin, and our wedding night will be amazing. It won't even be about the sex it will be about the connection. Of course yeah, sex will be great, it is SUPPOSE to be great, but I will feel more connected to him.

I hate when people say "but how do you know if you guys will be compatable sexually" haha I know that if Matthew and I have obeyed God and waited that there will be no issues with that. AND DUH there is already that sexual tension, he's a guy, I'm a girl, we have been along together haha, and we have been together for over 5 years. We know how much tension there is there. I think we will be fine sexually.

On our wedding night we will be able to say wow, I am going to give something so big away to this person that I testified to God to love forever until Death. And that is AMAZING.

As fairytale as that may appear, I have the assurance of God that I have followed His will, everything will turn out as He has planned.

Now blah blah blah there is my serious side of how I feel deep down... but!

One of the best reasons to stay a virigin until you marry:

because since it will be the first time ever, both of you will be going at it like rabbits the whole first two weeks :) And I get to experience that the first amazing experience with the person that I truly love more than any other man on this earth.... even if it doesn't feel so great the first time.

You are so right about the sexual tension & I applaud you both. It's going to be "all that" and more. :)

BTW - I don't even know if it's done any longer but it used to be that you could visit your dr. before your wedding, so that they can check to see if your hymen is still in place. If it is there, they can snip it and then you won't have the negative part of the experience. If it's not there, this doesn't mean anything other than it broke, due to a non-sex related issue.

Virgin? There is a adjective I haven't used to describe myself since the Clinton Administration. I gave up my virginity because I wanted to. I wasn't worried about pregnancy or diseases. That is what condoms and birth control are for. (Up to a reasonable degree).

[70707Bride]

I voted no worried about STDs. I'd rather be pregnant than to have an STD.

[Kacie_bride]

I'm not a virgin, and I don't wish I was now. I do wish I would have waited a little longer. The reason I would say would be the best to remain a virgin is not up there. I think the best thing is that you are not setting yourself up for as much pain, especially when you are younger.

[SoontobeMrsClark07]

Jonathan and I are waiting because of my religious beliefs and because we dont want any risk of getting pregnant before we're married. I'll be on the pill/patch when we get married so we'll have protection but thats not 100% effective either.

[ikkin510]

I wish I would have waited. My reasoning is also my faith. I had strayed when I started, but now that I am back again, FH and I don't do anything and are waiting till the wedding.

Well everytime I have sex I have to run and pee or I get a UTI and that was reason enough for me to quit doing what I did after the first couple of times when I was a teenager! Until I figured out what the problem was I thought I had some horrible disease LOL!
