17 Couples That Abstained from Sex Until Marriage Share Their Stories

14.

My friend met a man and was together with him for about six months before getting married. They had sex on their honeymoon and frequently after that but soon found out that they weren’t right for each other. It was a very painful breakup for my friend and she admitted to herself they had got married because they wanted an excuse to have sex but couldn’t admit it. One of the things that led to them divorcing was not being sexually compatible. She said she used to think it didn’t matter, but after she started having sex, she understood what a big deal it was.

My SO and I waited until marriage to have sex. First night, it was awesome. Took a total of about thirty seconds, but, you know. Sex is awesome, we’re awesome. It was really nice being able to learn things together. There was no pressure to be “good” at it, because the expectation was that we would learn together.

My ex-wife’s brother and his wife were both virgins on their wedding night. 7 years later she caught him with both a girlfriend and a prostitute. They’re still together. I feel really sorry for that woman.

Both of us were virgins. We messed around a bit before the wedding (mostly fondling and fingering her; rarely did I ever get a handjob [not because she was selfish, just the way it worked out]; always in the dark where we didn’t see each other really). Wedding night: couldn’t get in. We were both tired; went to sleep. Took me about 3 days and some lube and I got in. It was an okay time. She did not really enjoy sex (and consequently neither did I because of her lack of enjoyment) for awhile. She would just never climax from regular intercourse but we were just learning it together. Now we’ve been married for 5 years and we’re very happy together.
