ouch! I hate to break it to some of you people, but there really ARE people out there who just choose not to have sex until they are married, and it is not because they can't. It is a shame that other people are making her/him feel terrible on top of her/his mom!

Dont let what your mom said affect you and you stick with choice you made. It is getting more and more rare that people make the decision that you are making. Very proud of you.

ok guys look, its THEIR decision. even if you're arent/didnt wait til marriage. and even if theyre just a virgin cuz they cant get laid, they probably feel bad enough about it without u reminding them

OWNED! hahahahahah

I agree that was rude. It's a life choice. I hate the double standard of when my friend came out gay, anyone who disagreed was homophobic, but when someone decides to not have sex, people feel ok to ridicule them. What's the difference? To #9 and #16, I disagree. My friend was voted "Hottest in the Class" and she chose to not have sex before marriage. (Every guy friend of mine (myself included) wanted to bone her...). But she didn't want 5,000 miles + an accidental kid before she got married. Don't be so ignorant. She's getting married in a month now and has no previous relationship's baggage or miles on her. She's happy. (So is the husband who'll be the only guy to have her.) (Although, I do think it was a funny comment. Rude, but funny)

To the poster: I think it's awesome you decided to wait. It makes for a healthier relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend and with God. To the assholes who say people decide to wait because they can't get laid: How retarded are you? I am definitely waiting until I'm married, and I definitely could have had sex with my ex boyfriend who is not christian.

I hate it when people use the YOU'RE NOT CHRISTIAN card on others for having sex before trading rings. In Biblical times, people got married early in their teens - around 13 or so. Our society influences us to marry later and contraceptives are now part of the mainstream, not to mention that people live way longer now, so all this religious superiority is moot. Times have changed. You're still allowed to practice whatever you choose: abstinence or sexual activity. Just don't think you're holier than anyone else, please.

Adding to my previous comment: (This goes both ways - people saying the other is missing out SOOOO MUCH: Whatever. Sex is only as good as the person involved is feeling it, and if they're not comfortable, it sucks.) With regards to the OP: That sucks. But if it's important to you to remain a virgin until you marry, do just that. If I had a dime for every time someone made a stupid remark like that, I'd have a buck from this thread alone *grin*

OWNED

Second add: by "stupid comment", I meant your mom's remark, not YOUR choice in the matter. :)
