Sometimes it's not about waiting for marriage. It's about waiting for someone who won't leave you with "a present" for the rest of your life, or someone that you trust enough. I have no regrets about waiting if it meant that I got to meet the person I did.

This is exactly how my wife and I feel. I was 29 before I had sex for the first time. Before that I had a few opportunities to get laid, but my conscience somehow caused me to back off. Something didn't feel right with the one who was offering herself up or giving the signals.
The pressure can be enormous, as I sometimes felt like something was wrong with me for not having had sex. Listening to friends brag about their conquests and me having nothing to add was painful and embarrassing. Some of my friends even covertly assumed I was gay because I wasn't out there trying to get laid all the time. They couldn't understand that waiting was more comfortable to me than having the "virgin" label removed.

How do you people who wait till marriage hold out so long? Do you masturbate a lot? What do you do to supress your sexual urges?

Yeah...a whole lot.
