Let's say that they had a very strong and personal reason for why they wouldn't want to have sex at all, then I think I could live with that if I loved them. If it was because of religious reasons then no. I think the reasons behind that are foolish, as they are cultural rather than spiritual (the Christian faith believes sex is for families only, and families belong in marriages).
If she were religious to that extend, I would not be in a relationship with her. Not because of being religious perse, but more of the dogma that surrounds concepts like 'sin'.
No sex until marriage is not a dealbreaker, though the sex better be awesome and she better be 'the one', whatever that means. Also: Id get married as soon as possible. You see, the guarantee is that there will be sex, just not till you are married. Pas de problème! Again, not a dealbreaker on its own.

A relationship without sex is completely and utterly pointless; like going to all the effort of growing your own apple tree but never eating any of the apples.
QFT, I believe that when a woman wants to wait until the relationship has matured that is perfectly fine, but only if it's to honour the gravity and commitment of a sexual relationship. If it's purely for religious reasons then I would laugh because people "back in the day" married very very early (talking less than a year).trooper6 said:
If she seriously believes that some force that created the entirety of reality and communicates with people, and cares about their actions, thinks that one of his biggest concerns is people having a bit of fun before their married, I'd give her a quick discussion on why her God needs to get his priorities straight and leave.
True, but love is also incomplete without it. Personally, I reckon sex is the ultimate bonding excercise for a deep, comitted relationship (next to fighting off creepers togehter of course, which my girlfrind and I do ;P).Aris Khandr said:
Every time you and a pertner make love there should be this connection emotionally, there should be respect for one another and there should be romance, however you interpret it.
Without love, sex is meaningless and without sex, love is hopeless.
I like the idea of "try before you buy." Sex may not be everything, but platonic love sure ain't either.
I doubt it. As has been proven to me many times, women can outlast men in that department tenfold.
I know a Christian who does a lot more than just the "other things", but is still saving the proper sex for marriage. I don't understand the logic in that, really. Is God going to go "Anal sex before marriage? That's fair game, I suppose"?khaimera said:
