Sex isn't required to live, yes you can.

Its like asking if its possible to not wear a particular pair of shoes or another irrelevant thing till your married.

Yup! That is possible. I know a lot of them who have. And I can bet it isn't that impossible....!

How many times is smut smothered into our everyday lives? Passing the dirty magazines while shopping, that Victoria's Secret staring at you in the mall... and even watching two people just start smooching it out in the middle of the mall can really make us want to dive in and start getting physical with someone. Heck, why should people even bother staying celibate when almost half of the marriages around end in divorce anyway? It almost wants to make us feel good now until something better comes along.

In reality, people don't understand how problematic having sex can be for one's life in the long run. I don't even have to thump people over the head with a Bible to tell you some actual common sense which needs to be brought to attention. Of course, please understand that I'm not saying "don't have sex at all". These are all cases to consider before marriage. Once you finally find the one you're going to spend the rest of your life with, knock yourself out! Repeatedly! Just don't send me the videos, okay?

I tried to live with it... because I find promiscuity to be disgusting.

But then I met my wife when I was a teenager.

Love does things to you... especially when you know it's meant to be.

So now my moto is 'Be Clean Until You're in a Lifelong Relationship'.

That doesn't necessarily require marriage. It also could require METAPHORICAL marriage.

But I suppose since it's still close to being clean until marriage, my point is kinda on this side.

Since I'm still unmarried, I can't say whether or not I have done such a thing. But I don't see what's so hard about it. Sex is overrated, imo.

I also don't see what virginity has to do with cleanliness.

BTW, is a born again virgin just as good as the real thing? ;)

Of course, and if the person (man/woman) is truly in love with you, he or she would be willing to wait.

Marriage is sort of a confirmation of your love to your partner. Some people may want to seal their love with printed words, a marriage certificate. Having sex after marriage is considered safer, as to before marriage. Since marriage is a serious business, being bound to your partner for eternity, wouldn't you contemplate the what-ifs of a marriage? Ex: What if it won't work out? What if he/she cheats on me? Marriage is hardly something you would jump into before thinking through and through. If you truly love that person and you married him/her, wouldn't it be much more memorable to know that you lost your virginity to him/her, rather than some person that you barely know?

Besides that,staying a virgin until getting married is also considered a safer route, since we all know sex can lead to babies if birth control isn't used, or it failed. If you had sex before marriage and had a baby, would it be likelier that your partner would take care of both of you or would he/she take off after acknowledging the fact? As I've said before, marriage is thought through seriously and the consequences were weighed, so if you do have a baby after marriage (intentionally/unintentionally), your spouse would take care of both of you.

Yeah it's not hard at all, but once you have sex it's hard to go without. just like a lot of things for example cigarettes or drugs once you start it's hard to go back.
