f we had had sex. At points in that relationship, I felt like he was the one with which I wanted to spend the rest of my life, and I even contemplated having sex. Now that I know that things didnt work out, I am so glad that I didnt end up losing my virginity. Many people feel that sex is needed to have an intimate and loving relationship, but there are many alternatives to show a boyfriend/girlfriend that you love them.When I started college, I was afraid that my friends and I were the only ones who saw the benefits of abstinence. I lucked out, though, and I have met many people who have made the same decision. I have even met many guys that are not afraid to tell people that they are proud of their virginity. Sometimes people assume that only girls can have the self-control to stay abstinent, but that is so untrue. Men might act like they need sex more than women, but the fact is that we all have the same sexual desires. Having sex should be a very important decision for anyone whether they choose to save it for marriage or not.This decision of abstinence is not any easy one. Sometimes I even wonder if it is worth it, but only for a second. Then I think about how special my marriage will be. I might not find a virgin for a husband, but at least he will know what I saved for him. Im glad I know exactly why God wishes us to save sex for marriage....
