I didn't wait because....
Well, no reason other than I'm a horny little person, lol. DH and I go at it like rabbits, every day.
b/c sex (and good sex at that) is a part of a healthy marriage. I would prefer to only marry once. I did not want any wild cards or unexpectedness after marrying.
There are some things that are deal breakers and I think you should know about such before committing to spending the rest of your life with a person.
I don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlights begin; it's all a mystery.
Quoting Anonymous:Actually, most of them said the opposite. Only a couple said they regretted it.
Also, pretty sure they don't have 10 baby daddies because they didn't wait until marriage...
I have 1 father to my child and he is my DH, and have only had 2 partners.

hmm, maybe i was thinking the plethora of other posts where a lot of women said they regret it.
btw, i wasn't saying i was better than anyone by my reply, so don't take it that way. you asked, i answered.
That's so honest. Many, many young women feel that way. Feeling `rushed' or as if you will lose `him' if you don't put out is so common.
I was a virgin until I was 21 and we did get married two years later. I `waited' for as long as I did because I was not about to give it away to just anyone -- I wanted to be older and be more than half certain that I had a future with this man. This is simply the was I was raised. My parents met, dated for 3 yrs in the `old country', married, had children and were married until the day my mother passed away.
i never thought about waiting... I was never told I should and the thought never crossed my mind.
I did start having sex because the boy at the time pressured a little but I thought i loved him and I figured that love was enough. (i have no regrets)
I really and truly thought he was the right guy. We were together 2 1/2 years and were actually talking about marriage. We had some fundamental religious differences that we couldn't overcome though. I don't regret it or him.
This is what I preach to my son all the time, lol.
I've never pushed my son into believing that sex is only for marriage. I'd like for him to be in a committed, monogamous relationship, but at the end of the day his sex life is his and his alone. I'm hoping I've prepared him by educating him on the importance of safety and responsibility. Bonk til yours eyes bleed, just don't be an idiot, lol.
Quoting illinoismommy83:I was horny? I was not going to rush into a marriage to some teenage idiot because I had needs.
I fail to see the issue with SAFE sex before marriage. I didn't sleep with anyone without a condom before marriage, I was always on the pill, and I made my boyfriends go with me to get an STD test together before anything happened. I wasn't an idiot, I was perfectly safe, and well, I was horny!
Being a SAHM for the past 5 yrs has made me
