Sex: Take It Or Leave It

I mean, I'm sure there are people who could forego a great sex life in order to be with someone they truly loved. I'm not one of those people, but surely they exist.

I am one of those people who wants to wait until marriage in order to have sex. Not just because of the specialness of it all, but because of the risks. If a person becomes pregnant without marriage, then there's a good chance that the guy will skip out on them and either never contact them again or a risky chance of receiving child support. On the other hand, if the person is married and becomes pregnant (and the guy wants to leave) then they have a better chance of receiving child support and alamony (sp?). It sounds a little cold, but from what I've learned from my friends, the risks are not worth the reward. Not all men are like that, but you never know who is and who isn't.

However, to marry someone who doesn't like sex after I waited for so long would be a tough call to make. On the one hand, I would possibly love that person very much and want to be with them, but on the other hand, I would probably be deprived of an important part of human nature (and cheating on the signifcant other would be wrong).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
