Opinion on abstinence.

1

I’m abstinent, and i’m at an age where everybody around me is sexually active, experimenting, and ect. I haven’t had a boyfriend and i’m afraid i won’t get far because of this choice i have made.

This is not because of my religious view.
I just find virginity a precious thing that holds my dignity, and part of my self respect. I want HIM to be the one, and i think it would be a stronger bond.

I get judged a lot on this choice. Mostly because most people find sex the perfect way to bond and tie a relationship to a more serious level. Though i think it doesn’t have to be necessary, did you date her/him for sex if you truly like them, no. It’s just an activity for pleasure, and for you to share your trust on an emotional level.

I don’t want to share it with a high school boyfriend, one night stand, or anything else but my husband.

Whats your opinion, and if you are male, would you wait for her?

im catholic and im going to wait until im married too and if whoever you wanna date doesnt know how to wait until marriage then I guess he isnt the right one. if he really loves you he would wait until you are ready

I'm doing thesame thing as you are. And its not about my religious views as well. Im not that religious but i think when it comes to saving important things that matter to us, its good to wait for the right time with the right person. Virginity doesnt matter to other people, but those minority of peeps out there thinks we're kinda awesome for saving it for our future partners.Think about it, let's not rush things just for the sake of it.It's like receiving your gift weeks prior to christmas. If you open your present right away, you lose the excitement on the actual Christmas day itself. Here's a quote i like from one of my favorite writer."Just because lips have met doesn't mean hearts have joined. And just because two bodies are drawn to each other doesn't mean two people are right for each other. A physical relationship doesn't equal love." - Joshua Harris, I Kissed Dating Goodbye

I'm a Guy, your choice is the best. You should just wait for the right guy and don't be affected to those people who would react badly. Though we are now in the modern age, you should still think for your goodness/assurance as you will. There are still men who practice this thing, like me. These sexual things aren't necessary to show your love to your partner, but instead the trust and the understanding will always be the best factors.

i actually think that sounds good. i lost my virginity to a guy who was the wrong one, he just used me. and i was pretty upset over that once he broke up with me. waiting to have sex until you find someone you really love and want to do it with is good, if thats what you want to do

I'm a guy, and I'm doing the same with the exception of I'm also saving my first kiss till my wedding day. I believe that true love is patient and it doesn't have to be based on sex. For me it's a test of faithfulness and love. I get judged for it, but I'm holding on to my ideals and my beliefs, no matter how strange they seem.

It's your choice to make and I think it's good that you want to wait for the one. It's positive to believe in the one. Especially these days where something likes that becomes rare. If a guy is the right one for you, he'll respect your choice. It's up to you to decide when you feel like you're ready for it. Only you know when you're with the person who feels right for you. I think it's an admirable choice to make.

I am a male, and personally not many men today wait for the one. I'm not saying that what you are doing is necessarily wrong but your putting yourself in a dangerous situation. When you think you found the guy, he could end up just doing a hump and dump, which will pretty much destroy your whole conception of it. If you want to hold on to your virginity then by all means, go ahead, just be wary of the situation your putting yourself into.

I share the same opinion as you. I think sex is only something for a married couple, and it's not only because of my religion. I think you should loose your virginity to someone who you want to spend your entire life with; someone who is devoted to you. If someone wants to have sex with you, they have to show that they really want it by marrying you first. Sex is not only something to receive pleasure from; it is a special experience that should be shared with someone you love very much. Therefore, to me, it is supposed to emotionally bond you with your partner, so things such as one night stands completely get rid of the true purpose of sex. Don't worry about being judged, because every woman is teased by their choices regarding sex. The ugly truth is that if a woman has premarital sex, she is called a slut; if she stays abstinent, she is called a prude. It's hard to win when it comes to this sort of thing. In my opinion, it is better to be judged for deciding not to have sex. It is something hard to regret when you are older, whereas choosing to have sex before marriage can lead to consequences that can affect you for the rest of your life. It is a sign of maturity because it shows you disregard the pressure to have sex knowing that it will poorly affect you in the long run. Many young adults feel that having sex makes them more mature because it is something adults do, but it makes them even more immature because a mature adult would make the right decision to wait for the right person. Unlike adults, children and teens do not have usually have that much of a grasp of delayed gratification, which is one of the other reasons why teens decide to have sex without thinking about the consequences.
