Yes. I personally think sex is overrated.

Plus, if you don't have sex until after you're married, you may very well be stuck with someone with whom you are incompatible. Yes, it happens, and it can happen even if you love that person! Try before you buy. This doesn't mean you have to be a sl*t or promiscuous, you could easily find the "right" person first time around.

Bottom line is, you're not unusual and it's okay to have sex. Just be safe and sane and all will be well.

Enjoy!

Exact same thing applies with sex!

Also for the most part there is a limit to how much sex a man can take. For the most part, men enjoy sex for the fact of ejaculation. If there is nothing to ejaculate then there is little to no satisfaction to be gain. In fact it can be frustrating.

The fact that sperm or ejaculation of the substance has anything to do with aging is laughable to say the least. I would say stress, amount of exercise and nutrition play an incredibly higher value as far as aging goes.

If anything I would say that since sex is a stress reliever, generally, the more sex a man has the less stress he will have.

From the studies I've read, women age faster than men mainly due to the stresses caused from child care, household and work sometimes trying to balance all three. Menopause plays a huge role in the aging process.

I always like a hamburger after sex, and if it was real good I'll have two hamburgers...

Must not have the right partner then! Sex is great, it makes it even better when you have it with someone you really care about/ love. I say just dont have sex with some random guy, you should care about them and be somewhat serious. In college as I am it is hard to find someone like that, everyone just wants some play for now and then leave. Glad I found my love in high school, 5 years together and we are still going strong.

The OP is defining marriage as a piece of paper. Recieving that piece of paper will change nothing in the way of feelings and desires. You want to give yourself to your husband because you love him and it stirs up emotions in you. Didnt he stir those emotions before you had that piece of paper?

Couldn't agree more, as long as you have strong feelings for someone then you should go for it. But as I said before, don't do it just to do it IMO you should have strong feelings for each other.

I see what you are saying killer2021 but I the way I'm looking at it, too much sex for a male can be detrimental in the long term; and yes there is a limit.

I think the clash we are having is due to the fact that you are looking at the pure physical aspect of sex where as I'm also including the metaphysical aspect....

There is definitely a transference of energy during deep sex with the male giving part of his life energy to the female during the sex act. I believe this is one of the reasons why males fall asleep where as the female (from my experience) feels recharged.

Anyhow, I try to look at sex much like our ancient ancestors where as sex is considered a sacred act as well as the fluids that come out of it. Today, sex it mostly pursued for selfish reasons with little concern for the other persons pleasure or for the fact that a child can come out of the process.

Regardless, when sex is preformed in moderation, I totally agree that it reduces stress and produces health benefits.


Just my 2 cents...
