I wear a True Love Waits ring... For those of you that think it's a waste of money, so be it, but to me, it's a daily reminder of the benefits of waiting. I've seen the way s.ex destroys immature relationships, I've seen close friends of mine worry about pregnancy, and worst of all, I've seen one of my friends go through her pregnancy watching the father of her child date someone else. (before you chastise her, know that she was on birth control when she got pregnant)

But for those of you that don't, that's not my decision to make for you. :] If you think it's right, that's your choice. In the case of today's society, many of you are right - times are different.

And I don't think that people should get purity rings for religious reasons unless they are 100% sure about it. You shouldn't make a promise to God that you aren't sure that you can keep. That's probably the #1 thing that bothers me about them... Girls that brag about losing their virginity, yet they still wear their rings.

i think is that one perspective, for people saving it for religious reasons, is that when people decided that saving it until marriage was something that should be in the bible (or God put it in there, what ever you beleive, his disiples wrote it as far as I am concerned) that people lived until they were like 45... or 40 even... so if they got married when they were like 17 they only had to make it work for 23-28 years, (not the 50 plus now adays if you want a singlular life long relationship) and usually the only reason it would last as long is because they'd get mistresses and they were forced... now people are liiving alot longer, sexual compatability is a huge part of a relationship and if you get married but that's not there, well, its toast, and like what if you are in love with someone... like people can love several times in a life time... and what if someones marriage ends because of a death then they remarry as people often do, are you going to penalize that person for not saving it for "the one" simply becuase their other "one" died and they were fortenate enough to meet another "one"... and what if you are like in your 30's, had a really bad relationship or 2 and you just aren't interested in marriage right away, you'd rather have a long 6 year relationship first, will you penalize that person for any sexual acts when it is a common law relationship (like marriage, just with out the churches involvement)?

just saying.... its not like there is anything to defend, like i really couldn't care less if someone wants to wait for marriage... it was just a thought so yeah.. i've had a few people give me a hard time for not following what the bible says about s3x and im usually like um yah, your talking to an athiest

It's a personal choice.
I'm not shoving my beliefs down someone's throat. If they want to do before marriage; it's there choice. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
The media today makes it hard to wait. It makes it look like it's okay. They don't show the REAL side. They make it seem great, but in reality, I'm sure it's so different.
But I do believe in safe sex if you do have sex :]

Either way, I believe there's no rush!
I believe in making thorough decisions whether you believe in premarital s3x or not.
i'm not going to say for sure if i will or won't wait because I just don't know. I haven't exactly been in a relationship, so I don't know how it is to be in such a situation where I have to contemplate s3x at a deeper perspective.

i'm not waiting till im married either,
because i don't know if i want to get married, also ..
plus nowadays divorce is high, so you might not be with your 'first' partner for the rest of your life anyways ..

but it is your own personal choice

i think it's a personal choice.
i will not wait until i'm married because
1. i don't even know if i want to get married and
2. sexual compatibility is a big part of a healthy marriage. it's not just whether someone is 'good' or not, some people just don't "fit" together (for lack of a better word).

I think it doesn't matter either way.... like s3x is someones personal choice... like if they want to follow the bible and wait until marriage that is their choice... but I know people who have had s3x with several people before settling down and THAT is a personal choice too... neither is wrong, like who are we to judge

i believe in both. i think it s3x is something that should be with the person you love but at the same time if someone has been dating for over a year and feels ready to have it then it's okay. i think it's a personal choice.

I think loosing your virginity isn't as big of a deal as it used to be. So loose it when you loose it I guess. Ha, that sounds bad.

I am definitely waiting. I don't care how hard it will be, but I am because that's what Jesus wants me to do. This is a completley religious decision, and I am proud of that.

I'm going to try to wait. Unless I'm absolutely sure it's the right choice, I think i'll want to be able to know it's a good idea, like it would be in marriage. does that even make sense?

well anyways, it's both religious and safety-wise.
I don't think people should look down upon those who haven't waited, it was a personal decision they made, even if it might have turned out badly. Everyone has their own choice!
