Hmmmm. I recognize the difficulties in the issue.
My position (which I haven't always lived up to) is to not sleep with anyone with whom I'm not prepared to raise a child with. There's always a chance that a child can result (being a man, I'm bound by law to my partner's decisions), and I couldn't live knowing that I have a child out there being raised without me.
As such, I think that's a huge burden, and which is why I've (tried to) wait for those I really care about. Waiting for love? Yes. Waiting for marriage? Perhaps, but maybe not if we could raise the child apart.
