No Sex Before Marriage

CHARLENE, on January 25, 2017 at 7:14 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 144

My FH and I decided to do everything differently from our 1st failed marriages.....this includes No Sex. I was wondering if anyone else is/has made this choice as well?

    Kuddos to you! It's so hard to not have sex especially when it's good and with someone you love lol Although my FH and I have a sexual relationship we are abstaining for the month prior to the wedding so that our wedding night can be a little more special Smiley smile

    I gotta say, it skeeves me out that anyone would have their friends hold them accountable for whether or not they had sex with their SO. Ew.

    @MNA: not really, I mean, we talk about other decisions with our friends. We hold each other accountable for our weight, fashion, and a million other things. So of course I'm going to count on people who are close to me to help me with this too.

    I'm amused by the capitalization. No Sex. Like, sex is okay. But not Sex.

    But nope - I get on that D whenever I can. I don't even need people to hold me accountable; I remember to do it all by myself.

    @Amanda: ...yikes.

    I am SO glad I don't depend on groupthink to get through my daily life.

    I can just imagine:

    DF: Lets have sex!

    Me: Just a second, let me consult FB, WW, and Instagram...

    ...

    ...

    ...sorry dear, they said no, not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.

    I knew there was a reason I only have a business Facebook. The groupthink mentality is spreading like wildfire, and it's frightening.

    For those that have had sex and waiting until the wedding night, i don't know how Waiting makes it any more special . I just don't understand.

    And the ones that are waiting because of religious reasons but are intimate other ways,because really a virgin is a person that isn't sexually experienced with anything. I mean we don't just have heterosexual relationships on this forum. So to me if you have any sexual experience whether that be oral,anal,masturbation,etc It's not limited to the vagina. So if you are doing those other things for gratification to me if your religious then it goes against waiting in the first place. But that's just me

    Why would anyone share this type of information -- the most intimate, individual information on planet Earth -- with their friends? How does that work..."Sorry guys, we have a confession. We had sex two nights ago. Pass the salad."? Does that not sound really creepy?

    Accountable? What if you blow it? Do you have to go into details? Is there something the friends can do or say that hits the reset button? Listen to yourself. I'm sorry, I cannot believe people share these type of intimate details with their friends -- best or otherwise. It just breaks boundaries that shouldn't be broken. It's called intimacy for a reason.

    I think that's awesome. And I tell my friends everything so I get it. They are the best people I know. We know everything about each other. FH and I aren't planning to abstain from sex before marriage. I do think it would be more special if we did. We don't even plan on having sex on our wedding night. I think we'll be exhausted and drunk. Lol! We are realistic about it.

    My FH and I have a daughter together and have been together for 5 years but are going to refrain for sometime before we get married, just to build up more adrenaline lol!

    Well Charlene, welcome to the Internet where you get any and all kinds of replies. You can't control how people post or what they respond to and how.

    Who said anything about talking to girlfriends? My friends are all guys. Most of them married. They give the best advice.

    @Charlene- it's true you can't tell people how to post. And it's incredible annoying when people point that out. Ignore the negativity and rude comments. Do what makes you happy. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
