I lost my virginity at age 14 because at the time I was so convinced I'd never have a woman interested in me enough to get in a relationship with me (much less to get married with me) that I wasn't willing to wait.
Even now, at age 22 I'm still not sure I'll ever get married. I still have ten more years of school to go through before I'll even get my first real job. And by the time this happens, I'll have been out of the dating scene for so long that I probably wouldn't be able to tell a woman truly interested in me from a gold-digger who just wants an alimony check.
If I had decided to wait until marriage then there's a good chance I'd probably have spent my entire life a virgin and would've missed out on the pleasures of sex. However, I do think I started way too early, and I do wish I had exerted a bit more self-control in my youth.
And as Halx pointed out, sexual compatibility is a very important thing when it comes to marriage. It would be a big mistake to get married to someone with whom you're sexually incompatible because that's the person you're gonna wake up next to for the rest of your life (unless you don't believe in marriage as a lifetime committment).
