Would you marry me?
I was thinking something similar except that I don't care virgin or not (to each his/her own), everyone should at least get some sex training. As you say, we don't drive a car without it, or even use a stove for the first time (most of us were taught, I hope). Why is sex different? Given the potential consequences, shouldn't training be even more important?

On a serious note, I admire a girl with good values.
Only a women would say such a thing. Are you a virgin? How old are you? Are you religious? Your comment Makes no sense in the real world. Unless you follow some religuous doctrine, How many guys are willingto fall in love with you without a sexual relationship? Sex is natural. It's not a tool and shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip.....whether it's about you or someone else.
There are just different perspectives on this topic. Some people are comfortable with the notion they should wait, others feel it's necessary to explore before committing. I take offence when everyone makes it a moral issue.....like they are better than everyone else....that's the reason for the nasty comments.
Whenever someone says they want to wait til marriage, the initially response is always judgmental and criticism of their values. Exactly how this thread played out. Just ask yourself, what's your first thought if you met a stranger that said they want to wait? You would immediately start casting judgement on their character and perhaps jump into a debate on expressing your views on the matter. Why not simply respect everyone has different values. Part of the reason for the quick attacks is people unconsciously feels their own values are undermine since the other person's value conflicts with it. So the need to convince the other that they are wrong is strong. Same thing happens in Religious topics, mug slinging immediately starts between Bible followers and Atheists as if anyone really going to convince the other. Values and beliefs are not a static entity, it changes over time as people grows and learn from their experience. All I'm saying is respect the differences.
Since this is a relationship forum, the most important thing is to find someone who shares similar values. That's the only person you should care what their views and beliefs are.
Interesting theory. What if a female friend tells you you're best off exploring?
What of find also interesting ius the amount of guys in this thread happy to tell women that have been around the block, so to speak, that they will never marry. That is completely untrue.
Factof the matter is this, it is no ones business but your own whether you are a virgin or not. Oh and if you aren't you can still sort the jerks from the nice guys by saying no. Being sexually active doesn't mean you have to sleep with everyone who asks.
