1 yYou can't. You will eventually cave to the pressure. You need to break up with him. You want to focus on school anyway.
He does not need sex from you. He wants sex from you. He has other options for release. Maybe not as nice or fun, but he does have options. You are a virgin once, until you aren't. if being a virgin is important to you for marriage, this whole relationship needs to end.
What he is dealing with is called blue balls from arousal without ejaculation. He needs to just masturbate and he'll be fine.

Now, if you want to play with fire in spite of your convictions, just make sure you are on contraceptives. I'd also ask him to take an STD test. If he has been sexually active, you need to know that he's clean. I know this all sounds harsh, but it's not worth ruining your life over.
This might be the hardest thing you've ever done, but I promise you that you will survive and probably when the dust clears, you'll feel massive relief. Also, consider how you'll feel about needing to tell a possible future husband the reasons you had sex with someone else. You don't even want to have sex with this guy, really, but you are considering it because you're a nice person and feel bad for this guy...
I'll tell you this: a man who loves you with either respect your position and move on, or he will wait. This guy is using his blue balls to pressure you into relieving him. I call BS. The man I married was willing to wait three years for me to finish school. That is love.
I wish you the best, and the strength to take good care of you. :)

Asker1 yAwwwn he waited. That's so cute. He really loves you. By the way he isn't pressuring me. He just expressed his concerns and I got really bothered and started over thinking. I really just don't wanna have sex and plus the other things we try to do seem not to work for him. I'm just so concerned about him. He is an amazing guy but I don't wanna inconvenience his life. I just want him to be happy. He cares about me and I know but... plus it can lead to him wanting what I can't give him from someone else so...
I have to gently disagree here. He is pressuring you. It's in every other sentence in your description. You say you feel tired and overwhelmed and you've tried to compromise, but it's still not enough for him.
A great guy will not go get it from someone else if he loves you. He will wait. If he doesn't love you, he won't wait. It really is that simple. Guys are tough and strong, they only act like babies sometimes. When they really care about something, they will move heaven and earth and make all kinds of sacrifices to obtain it. This guy doesn't care about your feelings on this and more importantly, he doesn't share your values.
Basically, you need to tell him you aren't going to compromise your values because a) you don't want to have sex with him, b) if he isn't willing to respect you in that, he will need to move on.
I know you don't want to end this relationship, but if he isn't going to value and respect your boundaries now, he won't in other areas going forward. When the dust clears, I think you'll feel relieved. Right now, what I see is you making all of the compromises and trying to hold onto him. Don't. If you do stay with him and get married, you'll spend the rest of your life trying to hold onto him until you finally wake up and realize you're the one doing all the work.
Breakups are hard. Toxic relationships are hard. Choose your hard.

1.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic. . There's been questions on here before asking how far can a person go before they break the seal of being a virgin so that's the first question for you how far are you willing to go to where you wouldn't be a virgin anymore
For me I think that's penetration.
I have. Dated to virgins that wanted the same thing as you and I respect that and one of them was really concerned because she knew that I. Have been sexually active.
And she was afraid that she was going to lose me if she didn't do something and I tried to reassure her no..
But we communicated about it and I told her what I felt if there was penetration then that would break that seal of being a virgin.
And I asked her how far are you willing to go and she says well she always wanted to try stuff but.
We made the rule we could do anything we wanted but no penetration.
They will tell you what the things that I had come up with were so hot we're so sensual sexual I mean they were just as good or better than sex And there are a couple things that are that would blow sex out of the water that's how hot they were there are many things you can do but it depends on you and how far you're willing to go or when you where's that line at for you that's the key part right there
and if you're both strong. And disciplined enough to not go past that line.
If you have both those things going for you I can tell you ways you will just drive him crazy he will be the guy that asks you to marry him LOL but there are many things you can do that are so intense so fun so just beautiful really and in some cases better than sex20 Reply

1 yYou have a hard task ahead of you. If this is something that you truly believe in then you need to draw a line in the sand. “This is one thing I will not do AND if you push it we are done”. You need to be firm and leave no room for debate.
Now you also have to understand the needs of a man…. From the age of 12 or so we start to masturbate and from that first time we are looking for some place to put it (that’s not our hand) to get it off.
That being said… you either need to help him out… some girls will use their hand, mouth or even by doing anal.
The big thing is to stay true to yourself and only do what you want to do.10 Reply

Having sex before marriage isn’t inherently wrong, but it’s important to establish and communicate your own boundaries. If you’ve decided to set healthy boundaries around intimacy, it’s crucial that your partner understands and supports your decision. A respectful and loving partner will recognize the importance of your choices and won’t pressure you into anything you’re not comfortable with.
It’s essential to have an open, honest conversation with your partner about your values and expectations. Mutual respect is a cornerstone of any strong relationship. If your partner pressures you or disregards your boundaries, it’s a clear red flag. A healthy relationship should be built on trust, understanding, and respect for each other’s decisions. If you feel pressured, it may indicate deeper issues in the relationship, and it’s important to consider whether this is the kind of partnership that will truly support your well-being and happiness.10 Reply

Navigating the waters of a relationship where the currents of desire and the anchors of personal values clash can be quite the romantic saga, don't you think? It's like trying to dance a tango when one partner is still mastering the waltz - both beautiful, but requiring a different rhythm. 🌹
First off, let’s toast to your resolve! Sticking to your values, especially about staying a virgin until marriage, is like holding onto a rare gem in today's fast-paced dating scene. Now, onto the spicy bit - dealing with a sexually active partner who’s feeling a bit, let's say, impatient. It's fantastic that he's been open about his feelings, and your concerns are just as valid. Communication, in this case, is your best friend (and I'm not just saying that because I love talking about feelings all day!).
Consider having a heart-to-heart where you're both laying out your desires, fears, and hopes for the relationship. This isn't about drawing battle lines; it’s more about finding common ground or understanding if this difference is a deal-breaker. It might be a delicate dance, but who said love wasn't a bit of a challenge, right?
Sometimes, love means recognizing when to hold on and when letting go is the kindest thing for both hearts involved. It's crucial to find someone who not only sets your heart aflame but also respects and cherishes your values as much as you do. Don't settle for less because the respect and understanding you seek is not just a fairytale dream, but a real expectation you should have in a loving partnership.
Remember, you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed, and seeking a relationship coach or counselor to navigate these emotional waters might just be the life jacket you need. Keep your head up, your standards high, and your heart open. The right partner will not only wait but will walk beside you, respecting your pace every step of the way. 🌟11 Reply- 1 y
I wanted to save myself until I get married, but my ex taught me into giving myself up. I lost it at 15 to my ex and it still didn’t work out.

You didn’t tell him in the beginning , then I’m sorry to say , you are the selfish person to just assume a guy would be ok for waiting for marriage for sex.20 Reply- 3.2K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
1 yWould you be okay with pleasuring him sexually without intercourse? There are many ways to do that, including oral and heling him masturbate.
I'm assuming you expect to marry him, which means you two have redeeming and important characteristics other than sex. If that assumption is incorrect, you should consider moving on and finding someone who's more in line with your virginity beliefs.

10 Reply860 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I think it's simply not going to work out between the two of you. If he knew up front that you wanted to wait but is pressuring you into it anyway, then there was never actually a point when you could trust him to respect your wishes - he was only ever biding his time until the bonds between you were thick enough to act as a leash.

Asker1 yTill marriage. He says he understands the fact that I'm a virgin and he respects my request but the ways I try to compromise and see if things can be ok still causes him physical pain.
Asker1 yYears actually cause i've goals to achieve as well as school and he's also way older than i am so he wants to marry and have kids soon. Could we talk privately cause trust me there's more to this topic.
Asker1 yNope I'm not leading him on. I made all this clear to him but he was still interested. This isn't my fault at all. I rather stay alone than lead anyone on. This isn't his fault either. And even with so much goal there are people that can stay with me and grow with me. With all these ambitions I'm still willing to compromise. at least within 2 to 3 years I can be ready. But oh well
Well he used to have it so now he expects it, maybe you should date a fellow virgin.
10 Reply990 opinions shared on Relationships topic. If you are going to focus on school and a career first, you will be ready after you pass 30 and will likely never be able to get a good partner. Focusing on school and a career is a bs excuse to not progress a relationship while someone is actually just seeing what other options they may have.

1 yYou can either have an open relationship until you get married so both your needs are met or you can compromise and have sex now without getting married or break it off. Sex is extremely important for any relationship and if its not there it can lead to cheating
10 Reply1.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'm permanently celibate and I enjoy dating women who are sexually active with other guys, while I'm restricted solely to providing oral service for her. I typically masturbate while worshipping her feet or butt, and this routine has worked quite well for me.

Anonymous(45 Plus)1 yDespite what some guys might say he CAN wait. Geez, it's not like a guy is going to die from waiting. As long as you're still showing him affection this shouldn't be a problem. If it is then you need to find a new guy.
Now speaking from the guys side I will say this. There are a lot of women (unfortunately) that will say what you just said, and then sleep with 10 other guys while dating him and making him wait. No guy wants to be played like that.

Asker1 yActually is a personal prospect. I wanna keep it for whom ever I'm marrying. Its my choice. Its hard I won't lie but I don't wanna give it to someone that I'm not spending the rest of my life with. I can compromise with other physical touch activities but sex is a no no for me.
Good for you, and your future family
1 yTry non-vaginal types of sexual activity. Petting, oral or anal sex. So you will have sex and get pleasure, and you will still remain a virgin.
