What do you think about teens saving themselves for marriage?

I’m a high school junior girl and am planning to save myself for marriage. I’ve never had a boyfriend and it probably has a lot to do with the fact that I don’t feel like most guys would want to date someone who wouldn’t want to do anything sexual…WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Teens like that are very rare, but its a wonderful thing. Many people do not voice that commitment though, for fear of being mocked. I am a teenage male waiting until marriage, but the few friends I have told find it comical. Its a wonderful thing to do and will be worth it in the end. What better gift to give to your spouse?
It is a good thing to do. Do not let anyone change your mind.
It will not be easy. It is not easy either to have sex with a lot of men.
Good for you
Keep waiting
I think it’s great that you’re saving yourself for marriage. Don’t worry about not being "experienced" they don’t always care about that. You have morals and goals. Guys will respect that.

I Think Its Right.. Just Because Its The Most Intimate Thing Two People Can Do..

Me And My Bf Are Both Waiting So..
But If A Guy Really Likes You He’ll Wait…
Statistically, it leads to losing it a few years later than their counterparts (if not at the same age), not to actually saving sex until marriage. And, abstinence-oath teens are less likely to receive comprehensive sex education and more likely to become pregnant (once they break their oath).
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea to save yourself for marriage. But I do encourage even these teens to educate themselves about safer sex. That way, they’re prepared no matter what they decide to do later on down the line.
I personally don’t believe in marriage (just one of my things, lol), but I have always felt that sex should be between people that deeply love each other. I can tell you that some guys I’ve dated have found that to be old fashioned and not respected it, or me for that matter, but I dumped them and moved on. My current boyfriend (of over 6 months) is okay with waiting until I’m ready to have sex. So, in my experience: a) any guy that’s worth it will wait until your ready & b) guys will still want to date you
Just remember to count to ten and stick to your principles/morals. Best of Luck!
Way to go girl! I did this and I don’t regret it at all. I didn’t exactly wait until I was married like I had wanted. However, I did wait until I was 22 years old. If you can wait until you are married, that is awesome! I wish I had but I thought I was in love, turns out he wanted sex with a virgin. The best advice I can give you is don’t let them talk you into having sex if you don’t want too. It’s not easy, they will be all over you because you are a virgin. I don’t know what it is about a guys fascination with a virgin girl but they are attracted none the less. Good luck, I hope you can wait.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
