This is a great thread.
When I was under 16, I thought that I would wait until marriage. I grew up in a household much like raeanna. From 16-18, I thought that I would wait until I was engaged. Very few (less than 10) people in my High School class had sex. Nobody was even in relationships for the most part.
Then I went to college. I had no idea what I was doing, how to play 'the game', and that there was such a thing like 'one-night stands'. I place way to much emotional and love aspects towards sex to do that. I want to be able to have sex over and over and be close to the girl I'm with. So, when the girls have 6 years of experience, and I haven't seen a breast since I was a baby, there is a problem there.
If I don't get in a great relationship, I realize that I will wonder what I missed out on. Sleeping with lots of random girls does sound fun. But, I would rather have a relationship where both of us are each others only partner. Maybe that is because so many people I know in real life are in that type of relationship, but it just seems like it is almost impossible to find.
If the first relationship didn't work out, I think I would be free to be more sexually free and open. Swinging would really bother me as long as it was with people we were close to. I have definitely been brainwashed to think that paired virgin monogamy is the best type of relationship.
At 26, I would have a really hard time turning down sex at this point, if there was any type of emotional connection with it. I still want to have it in a commited relationship. At 30, that might change. I know I place way to much importance on sex.
