Actually, it has been found that there is a trend of happiness with sex in marriage, especially good sex; non-asexual couples who have stopped having sex after having a child are found to be unhappy.
its weird how some married couples' sex life becomes obsolete after the first few years; what I find fascinating are the people who wait until marriage to have sex, and then only have sex the number of times countable on one hand. =P
No thanks, I'd rather know what I'm doing on my wedding night, not 6 months to a year later, or longer. I would like my husband to know what he is doing, too.
I wonder how much of the Christian fear of sexual experience before marriage is based on the fear of just not being able to please their partner, or of being compared to previous partners. If you get 'em young and virginal, they have no one to compare you to?
I definitely think teens need to be well-informed about sex and all the responsibilities/consequences that go along with. Keeping kids ignorant about it obviously isn't keeping them from figuring out the mechanics of it!
They really need to know how to protect themselves.
Personally I think any woman who compares her husband to past sexual partners obviously has no respect for her husband or her marriage.

Yup. Once you've slept with a virgin once, you never want to again.
In my own opinion, I believe there are more negative consequences that can come from teenage sex than positive. Hence, the reason why I don't advocate it...but I can definitely see why many teenagers don't!

Which is why it's critically important to have proper sex-ed programs that cover contraception. Proper sex education drastically cuts teen pregnancy and STD transmission rates.

True.
Like I said in a previous thread, sex is something very sacred and special. In my eyes, I do not want to give myself physically, emotionally, and mentally to a person who will probably never talk to me again. I do not believe sex is a recreation but meant for one person in mutual and ultimate commitment-marriage.

I don't think it's that bad to have sex with a virgin. Then again, I don't think I'd want to spend time giving instructions.

"Yes, that really goes there. No, I'm not joking! Hey, where're you going?"
LOL!
But seriously, I don't have any issues with waiting until one is married. The reason why I feel there are benefits to premarital sex, because it does give one the opportunity to explore their sexuality more freely. By that I mean, being able to experiment with a few partners first. Also I think you'll be able to communicate your sexual needs to your future husband or wife if you understand what you want first. But I guess when you're married you can explore those things together.

But, as someone already pointed out, what about people who dislike the thought of marriage or have no intention of getting married?
