Do you believe in abstinence?

I think the best thing to do is to stay virgin till marriage. I'm not virgin and I'm not married and I don't regret because the first time I did it it was if the person I love, and maybe if you do loose your virginity do it with the one you love, someone 'special' that you know that if something goes wrong happens that person will be there for you and that you will be there too. But remember your loosing a BIG thing so think about it,don't rush to do it, there's time for everything.

And remember always use protection!

I think that even if you have had sex it is great to save yourself for that special person, the past needs to remain the past. If you have not had sex don't be embarassed or shy about that is awesome.

I am not a virgin I don't regret it maybe I didn't wait till my wedding nite. But I meet someone very special I have no regrets cause I totally love him.

Personally I'm a virgin, and planning to keep it that way till marriage. Unlike Nadia though I don't think it's unfair it the guy doesn't wait and girl does. For me it'd be best if the guy wasn't, so he can teach me but it doesn't matter either way. I'm a virgin because of religious beliefs and family values (I'm not that religious really but in this one case I am), and secondly, but not of defining importance, I want to proudly and truthfully wear the white dress someday.

So either if you have done it and want to get back to celibacy or you are and always have been a virgin, it's up to every individual and their own thoughts and values. No, they're not missing out, or we aren't missing out, we're just waiting for our right time. Nor is it going to be more special (perhaps for the guy to have a virgin girl for a wife it might be, but not generally speaking) maybe it'll be a little more fool proof, given if the girl ends up pregnant the guy will stick with her, or if it was messy for both then you are still going to be there the next day and try it all over again. Maybe not more special but a more secure first time.

So do as you consider better. If you aren't a virgin but you want to be one again go ahead, being celibate for you is going to be a little more difficult 'cause you've already experienced the feeling so I think it's pretty amazing what you'll be doing and just as worthy.

In today's society with so many unwanted pregnancies and STD's flying around then I would say it's better to wait. What's wrong with having a little patience? I wish more people would see it not as "missing out" on something but of "keeping something special." That's just my opinion.

I think you should save your virginity to someone special like your wife... Yes it makes a difference like if both of you are not virgins then you both understand each other. Is it fair for a girl to save her virginity and a guy to mess around? I don't think so... Its funny when you talk to guys and they say yeah I want a virgin girl not a salvage one and then I ask them but your salvage so you need to find a salvage one too.. you know..

The first time I had sex I think I was pretty lucky because it was with the girl i'm about to marry (It was her first time too). I think its good to wait until your married because I think there's something special about having sex with that special one and I think its definately something worth working on. You'll both suck the first time but you'll know more about each other than anyone else. And sex is definately great but there are other things in the world worth living for. If you wait you won't regret it. I still wish I was actually married before having sex.

I'm a virgin, and plan on being one till I'm married. Now I'm by no means the most pure virgin out there. I know about sex, seen porn, and have even had phone sex. But the physical act of being with a woman and having sex (this includes oral for those Bill Clinton thinking people), I've waited. I was able to discover what I like and what I find gross without risking anything myself or to the person I would have been with.

Knowing that when I'm married, and I make love to my wife for the first time that it was with someone I loved and who loved me back makes it all the more intense. Call me a pansy, but there are emotions tied to being with someone in that way. It's like kissing a person and getting that surge of excitement or that mushy romantic "awwwww..." Given I haven't had sex, I can only say that to me the idea of having it with someone you love and having it be an intimate experience between two people who love each other only heightens the who thing.

If your after just physical pleasure there are ways to get that alone without having sex. But just wanting sex with someone for the physical pleasure of it is missing the other half. I used to make this joke with some females, "If a guy just wants to get off that's what he has his hand for." Sex gets this portrayal as being just about feeling good and having a good time. But when you treat it as such and go out and have endless one night stands you are left empty with just physical pleasure. It's like eating candy all the time. Sure it tastes great, but it's not healthy for you so you aren't getting anything out of it but that little moment of pleasure. With sex you can have pleasure and so much more when you are with someone you love and care about.

I can't imagine just throwing my virginity away for the sake of having a few moments of pleasure. I want the intimacy, the bond between husband and wife, the snuggling afterward basking in the glow of passion, and the knowledge that the person I make love to isn't just wanting me for her pleasure but wants me for who I am.

I think this puritan approach to sex is old and outdated.

Go have sex, perfectly healthy, perfectly normal.

I don't think it's wrong to wait for sex but I also don't think it's wrong to never want to dance either. I think your missing out on the fun parts of life and it's too bad.

Guys: we're praised to remove our chastity as early and often as possible. So I highly doubt any guy here regrets losing his V-card unless your first experience was awful or you caught an STD.

Herpies are forever :)
