I am the only one of my friends thats a virgin. I am glad that am still a virgin. I have had the chance to not be one any longer. We were both drunk she wanted to but I said no. I want to wait till marriage. It seems like anyone my age (22)is not a virgin any more I have wondered why?

The why is easy. Society has strayed so far from morals and ethics that they don't even know where the line is anymore. Most would call us religious zealots because we believe in something deeply and are not afraid to speak for it. Most of Western society has strayed from God so much that sex before marriage is assumed now. It's not only acceptable, it's expected. Keep strong, you'll be glad you did. I'll be honest, I did not wait, and I have regreted it ever since. I gave in not only to desires, but to pressure from my friends (society). I thought that not having sex by a certain age made me weird or different. Keep the faith. Sex is something special between a Husband and Wife. You might get some ridicule from your friends who did not wait, but you will not regret it.

I was very sexually active as a teenager. When I was old enough for the "bar scene" it got much worse. Now at 30, I'm married, been married for 6 years, and regret EVER having pre-marital sex. My wife had 2 previous partners before me, and has the same regrets about it as I do. Stay strong brother. I admire your strength. You will be so glad you waited when you do marry. The Lord will bless you and your marriage for keeping his will.

Good job Bro. I commend you. My business partners son got married last year, he was 26 and she was 25, both wanted to remain virgins until they were married, God hasreally blessed them. God will surely bring one your way that thinks as you do. You should be very proud of your committment, I am. Keep up the good works, you will not regret it!!!
My hat is off to you Brother, I came up in the era of free love, the 60's. I was very worldly then and like others who gave in, I did also, it didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but I wish I had held off.

There is so much more involved with sex than just whether or not to remain a virgin. The depth of its influence on us is highly underrated. Our bodies are considered sacred, and when we treat our own bodies, as well as those of others as a means to an end, the results are tragic potentially. It is so important for you to guard this as a sacred trust that I would encourage you to also ask God to help you to renew your mind to build a new mindset that will not only keep you in His will, but that will help you to think clearly concerning future encounters with this area of testing. If you build up your defenses, you wil better prepared in the future. Sometimes its a matter of deliberately planning ways to avoid putting yourself in a situation that may lead to something you would regret. I am not saying this from a position of self rigfhteousness or scolding, but from one of knowing something about past regrets.
