Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think only after marriage. If someone's the right one they'd wait. it's better that way.

Hmmmhmmm sex....... domokun

After Marriage.
The way to show you care, is to hold out till then, to prove you love that person, not the sex. Will you do that, is another queston.

Girls started their periods later back then, too - around 16 years old, if I remember right. I think diet and lifestyle changes (more fatty foods plus less-strenuous lifestyles) attributed to that. Anyway, look at me go flying off the main topic... sweatdrop

o.o I was mayself raised to beleive in sex after marriage

I have many friends who are not virgins and I dont quite approve but avoid the topic mostly to keep from getting into huge arguments

I did, at one time, think I was ready and, by the way its affected me, I think I was probably ready. no, we did not have sex, but that's a different story.

I was very dissappointed and cried alot after we broke up because He was my world. he was the most important person to me and still is my best friend. I love Dean more than anyone in the world and probably will for some time to come.

nevertheless, even though it seemed to have no huge negative effects (I'm fine now, and dont intend to have sex for well probly until I'm married) I wouldnt suggest having sex until you're married.

I know everyone says "if you really love each other" but if you really do love each other, you'll be willing to wait. if the other person involved is unwilling, then they dont care for you the way they say they do. they really do. that is the first clue.

Now, with Dean, I was the one who told him I thought it was the right time. he agreed but he did not bring it up first, I did. I didnt make him do it, but we both came to the agreement that we cared very much for each other and that it was an appropriate decision. Him not being a virgin was even a little more hesitant because he knew how he grew away from the other girl from before and didnt want that to happen but right now, we're still best friends. he may have lied to me in the past this year about things and we've broken up and we've gotten into arguments but we do still care about each other quite alot. I love him more than anyone <3

I'm the kind of person who waits until marriage. I believe sex only exsists so that people can make another child, not some pleasureable activity

What about people who don't want to get married, or can't legally (Like Lesbians and gays in some states)? I just think people should wait untill they are mature enough, which is to say when it is legal for them, and they are both consenting adults. And for god's sake people, use a ******** condom! Sheesh!
