Is sex always expected before marriage? Would any man consider waiting until marriage or until getting engaged or is this a deal breaker? Would a woman wanting to wait for serious commitment before sex, seem wierd to you? What do you think about a woman with more traditional values? Would you still date her?

Do you buy a car without a test drive?

You have to see how it 'drives' and responds or handles in the curves

It depends who you are with. If you find a man who shares your values, he will wait. I've known couples that waited until marriage to have sexual relations and they are still going strong and happy. It is not weird to wait, if that's what you believe in.

Yes on the most part.

I have different beliefs on this subject however.

I am sure there are men out there who are willing to wait, and share your values. If you feel that strongly about waiting... you shouldn't settle, if he isn't willing to wait, he can take a hike, you probably didn't need him anyways.

Depends on the couple. Some find it important to wait, others don't. As long as both couples are on the same page, whichever end of the spectrum they fall on is pretty much their own mutual choice.

Any guy that really cares for you, will do what is necessary to be with you. I'm sure it will be hard to maintain since you would both love each other, but he should respect your wishes.

Personally, I'm torn because though my beliefs tell me to wait, I don't think I could marry someone without knowing whether they can fulfill ALL my needs. And that need is a really BIG & IMPORTANT need.

The question is 'Is Pre-marital Sex Expected in Relationships Now?'

Why just now???????

Pre-marital sex always has and always will be the norm. Just because it's 2009 doesn't mean things are any different than say, 1999, 1969, or 1909 when it comes to sex before Marriage.

Only difference really is people just talk about it more openly now than maybe 50 years ago. It still went on though. Even the Puritans were having fun under those long dresses and heavy coats!!!!!!!

Couples are likely to wait until marriage if both are still virgins.

If your next statement is...I am divorced and have 2 kids. Then no.

I dont know about that. People got married much younger and there was no birth control like condoms or the pill in the 1800s.
