Is waiting until marriage for sex really such a big deal? I can't

Well, it is a cruel repression of instincts. Besides this, sexual incompatibility is an issue that can lead to extramarital affairs, so it's better to "check" it first.

>>3160690
People who marry virgin are less likely to cheat or divorce.
It also can lead you to choosing your "partner for life" not very wisely...

>repression of one's instincts
Morals and civilization are in large parts about controlling your instincts. Having you use your rationality in order to control your desires and instincts is very important for a happy life and for you to become a better citizen.

>>3160744
>sexual incompatibility is an issue that can lead to extramarital affairs, so it's better to "check" it first.

Caring this much about sexual pleasure leads to extramarital affairs... And divorces. You are a slave to your base desires when you do that. And like I said before, people who are virgin before marrying tend to have more stable marriages.

I'm >>3160774
>It also can lead you to choosing your "partner for life" not very wisely...
By this, I meant that sleeping with people before marrying can lead you to choosing your partner badly.

>>3160690
>repression of one's instincts
How is that bad? Civilization is built on repressing instincts.

>>3160774
>People who marry virgin are less likely to cheat or divorce.
Isn't this because they are religious or something?

>>3160744
That's what dancing is for.

>>3160780
Just gonna skirt around the other meaning then? About how you could easily get stuck with someone you're utterly incompatible with completely by accident?

>>3160787
In parts that's because they care about chastity. If you don't think chastity is important, but thinks sexual pleasure is important... You will be much more likely to cheat than someone who thinks virtue is important and pleasure is not.

In parts because of how habit shapes your life. Ethics are about habits, after all. Let's take an extreme. If I start sleeping with a different woman everyday, this will become habit. I will get hooked on it. And eventually, I will become dependent on it.

>>3160803
What do you mean? I said that "this person gives me a lot of pleasure in bed" is a bad way to choose your partner for life. You are giving too much strength for pleasure and too little for what really matters in a partner for life. And sex can also mask in the first years your negative opinion of someone else, making you marry the wrong person...

>>3160817
Okay.
What if she's completely incompatible with you and you don't know until you're already locked in? Tell me about that.

>>3160829
What is "completely incompatible"?

>>3160827
Quit projecting your repression onto everyone else.

>>3160836
I guess you won't figure that out until it's too late.

>>3160817
>thinks sexual pleasure is important
You don't?

>>3160837
>Quit projecting your repression onto everyone else.

Could you explain?

>>3160842
Well, he doesn't know. He comes across like he's trying to turn his repression into a badge of moral superiority.

>>3160843
Because you quite clearly don't know jack shit about sex yet here you are moralizing to everyone about it and projecting your repressed instincts onto them like it's either your way or degeneracy.

>>3160838
No, I mean it. What do you think "compatible" means and why is it important.

>>3160842
No. Sexual pleasure is not something you should seek as a good.
I'm not exactly the only person who says this.

Didn't Buddha say that craving for pleasure leads to suffering?
Didn't Epicurus say that craving unnecessary desires (such as the desire for sexual pleasure) lead to pain? He was a celibate.
Didn't the Stoics hold that pleasure is not a good but being indifferent to it is a good? Meaning that not desiring pleasure is virtuous?
Didn't Aquinas write about why Chastity is important?

>>3160855
I mean about "sexual compatibility". Please, do me a favor and explain about it. Imagine I'm an alien. What is it and why is it important? Then, we can argue over if this is important.

Like, it's okay if you have no sex drive or anything, or if you completely repress it, but keep it to yourself, stop acting like you're the height of virtue for not getting laid, as if you could.

>>3160690
Virginity is valuable, it has much less to do with marriage than it does laying claim to a virgin, the marital structure provides a social method to secure a virgin, without virginity marriage is utterly worthless as a social phenomenon.

That is really all there is to it, men like virgins, marriage used to guarantee virginity.

>>3160871
>Like, it's okay if you have no sex drive or anything, or if you completely repress it, but keep it to yourself,
So, someone can defend that everyone should have lots of sex, but I should not defend that people should instead try to be more chaste? Why should only one point of view be allowed to be defended?

>stop acting like you're the height of virtue for not getting laid, as if you could.
I'm not even talking much about myself. I'm saying that chastity is a virtue.

At this point its just an out for the sexually repressed and the wizards of this world. I have had sex, but I could have easily not have had sex and the low number of times I have had sex is for lack of trying. I am currently very career oriented, I come from a very civilized family (ie aside from "the talk" we dont talk about sex), I'm not fat, I've had multiple girls interested so I can't be that ugly, I move a lot, I have unrealistic standards, and I have been trying to avoid the expense and drama that relationships inevitabley bring into your life. I am almost to a more stable point in my life, so I will join the dating pool probably next year. People I have known have been getting married since 18, people I work with who are my age or in their late 20s have kids already.
So waiting until marriage for sex is not a big deal at all. I think doing it for the shear purpose of staying a virgin is dumb. But sex doesnt drop into people's laps as easily as it does in the movies. Just masturbate and don't look for a relationship then BAM you are a wizard Harry.

Even if he's projecting and preeching, that's not a refutation to his valid point.

If working together is instinctual then so is clubbing each other over the heads during bouts of road rage.

>>3160979
Yeah, I definitely see no problem with marrying a woman who'll only have sex with me like twice a month.

>>3160690
I'd imagine it was a lot easier way back when people got married much earlier. I mean I can imagine enduring it if I had married at 17-19, but not if I had married in my late 20s or beyond.

Also the fuck is going on in that pick. Is that vampire boy? Did he leave scissors girl for his cuckoo sister? I stopped following that show when snake girl destroyed the world.

>>3160995
A). Married couples have less sex regardless.
B). You shouldn't be wasting your life stimulating your pleasure centers in the first place. Get a job, get a hobby, get a life that extends beyond chasing a sexual high that doesn't even last as long as the high you get from smoking crack.

Pretty much this.

Sexual incompatibility is a thing, and sex isn't just sticking your dick in a vagoo and pumping until you're done. You're not a fucking animal.

Most of this thread reads like a bunch of virgins trying to justify their "chastity" as a choice and moral decision. Or a bunch of Catholics.

>>3161005
Men would get married in their mid to late 20s too though.They weren't forced as hard to be virgins like girls were all the time tbqh. It was only girls who almost exclusively did it latest 19.

Is that how you view laws against homicide too? Human nature sucks and in case you haven't realized nature sucks at making societies.

I think one theory is if sex was painful or didn't release endorphins, we wouldn't do it nearly as often. Thus, lowering potential for higher populations to develop. However, this is based on a time with a lack of birth control.

>nature sucks at making societies
Elaborate.

>>3160870
Let's say, for instance, I like oral. A lot. It's my favorite thing. I marry a woman, who under no circumstances, will ever put her mouth anywhere near my body, aside from kissing. Or let's say she can't really orgasm when she's lying on her back, and I refuse to try any other position than missionary. Or let's say she has a heightened libido, while mine is less and I only want to have sex may be twice a month, while she wants to make love every night.

All of these thing will leave one partner feeling unsatisfied, and becomes a point of contention. Now in a perfect marriage, the two would discuss it, come to a compromise, and start to have a more fulfilling sex life. But as we know, most marriages aren't perfect, and you can damn well bet it's going to become a constant source of strife.

Because he's a kissless virgin who is trying to justify his lack of sexual and romantic experience as some sort of moral virtue.

Hey, stawmanning is fun, isn't it?

>>3161087
So, basically, it is a problem that happens when one of the partners cares about sexual pleasure too much. In other words: lacks chastity...

See, the problem in your examples is not that "they married without knowing what they like". It is that their values suck and they care too much about pleasure. When you are chaste and you marry someone who values chastity, you are unlikely to face this problem. The problem happens when one or both is a hedonist.

Not in my personal experience. But even if it were true (btw, proofs), I'd bet it's due to most married couples being OLDER than unwed couples. A teenager is gonna be hornier (and way more fuckable) than a 45 year old.

It's not a non-answer anon, the most common complaint you hear from men who get married is that they have way less sex with their wives than they did when they first started dated. If your partner isn't having sex with you it's because they are not as attracted to you, not because you're "incompatible".

>Why do you look down on sexual pleasure so much anyway?
because there's more to life than a thirty second orgasm? Why do you consider sexual pleasure to be so important?

>>3161119

>>3161124
Not him but sexual pleasure is an inherent part of human life, and as a matter of fact one that has been proven to be very powerful.
No amount of warped standards, religious dogmas, active suppression and mental gymnastics are going to change that.

While we're at it why don't we freeze our sperm and cut off our balls, that way we'll still be able to reproduce but won't have to deal with that devilish sex drivd anymore.

Not really

Staying a virgin until marriage may be stretching it, but sexual conservatism overall has worked out very well for the last century or so and has paid dividends to the societies that practice it. In fact, the only reason why it has started to "fall apart" is because we have some very echo-y academics who have been attempting to deconstruct the sexual sphere for 50 years or so.

>>3161170
>Do you think that everyone ever in the history of mankind cared about sexual pleasure as much as you do?
You want a serious answer? Yes.
I find it hilarous how you and others in this thread have been so quick to judge others as being completely obsessed by sex, even though there is no indication of it whatsoever.

>>3161087
The great majority of married couples stop having much sex at all in the first 5 years, are they all "sexually incompatible"?

>>3161167
Only virgins and people who aren't having sex are obsessed with sex anon.
To someone who IS having sex, hearing people treat sex as the most important thing in the world and complain about they can't be happy unless they're getting blowjobs at just the right angle and position, is like hearing someone claim hamburgers are the most important thing in the world and it's TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT that the server gets their autistically precise order just right or they'll throw a fit.

It's ridiculous and the only thing more ridiculous to be accused of being a virgin for being burned out on the whole sex obsession thing.

My wife waited, and I think it's contributed positively to our marriage. The fact that we (or rather, I) learned how to spend time with a romantic partner aside from having sex, really helped us realize that we were right for each other, and shared a lot of the same passions and opinions.

I've been in plenty of relationships where after the initial "cant keep your hands off each other," phase wore out, the relationship petered and generally ended. I even dated a girl I hated for an extra 6 months because she was so gorgeous and the sex was fantastic. But with my wife it was different. We genuinely liked being around each other, and aside from kissing, there was no great desire to just fuck and then do my own thing, which is what most relationships seemed to turn into for me. We did things together and then just went home. I'm doing a bad job at describing it, but it was great.

There were a few times it got rough though
>the first time I saw her in a bikini
>the first time went went somewhere fancy
>everytime it got warm she wore nothing but shorts, and had great legs and a beautiful ass
>when we'd lay on the couch and watch movies
>when she turned 21 and got drunk and admitted she's always wanted to give head but I didn't let her
Shit was trying. There were a few times at the beach I had to disappear and take matter into my own hands or my head was going to explode.

And our honeymoon? Forget it, we went insane. Whole first year of marriage was like that too.
>mfw the whole month after we got married

>a cruel repression of one's instincts

This is one of the main points of serving God. It's why people fast. You're an animal, and it's instinctual for you to eat, but you overcome your base instincts and consciously choose to refrain from eating for a period of time, even if it causes you pain.

It's the same principle for abstaining from sex. Living according to God's ideal, you should only be having sex if it's for the purpose of procreation, and you should only be procreating with a partner you have vowed to love and protect and not abandon.

I'm not saying I live up to this ideal, but there it is.

>>3161250
Because in the west most people who advocate abstinence before marriage are religious.

But seriously though, I know at least one perma virgin who acts like sex is beneath him, and not that he doesn't get laid because he's overweight, autistic, and never leaves the house except to work a 5 hour shift at Burger King every week.

He's my cousin. It's sad, he was such a cool guy in high school. He got diagnosed with diabetes last year and refuses to treat it or change his dietary habits ,which is burgers and pizza.

Is being said facetiously to mock secularism, implying that poster is indeed religious.

When I think of sex, it's like all my attention and willpower is being dragged forcibly from the center of my being and thrown at the idea of the act. I try to work and one wrong thought or image can pull my mind away. I find myself fantasizing for an hour, and for what? I just sit there aroused dreaming dreams that will never come true. I pleasure myself and the thoughts go away for a while but now I am tired. I don't have time for a relationship at this point in my life, and even if I did I would just waste way more time on sex. So my options are chastity or casual sex? Then I choose to control, not to indulge.

>>3161192
You do care too much about sex. To the point that you consider what kind of sex acts your spouse likes to be very important.

Your choice of a partner for life depends on a large part on how well that person can please your genitals. You give that amount of importance to sexual pleasure.

>>3161324
>You give that amount of importance to sexual pleasure.
Of course I do. As any healthy person I like sex, and if I decide to settle down with a person I want to make sure my needs (and theirs) are satisfied. And no, it's not my only criterion for choosing a partner, far from it. Feel free to believe I'm just a sick individual if you will.

>>3161372
You said before that you believe everyone ever in the history of mankind cared about sexual pleasure as much as you do.

But you do consider important as a criterion on who to marry (an important decision), how well that person can please your genitals. Do you truly believe that everyone ever in the history of mankind cared about sex as much as you do to this point?

>>3161324
At this point I'm convinced you have this ideal, pure and special waifu in your head that you will never meet because people are people and people suck, and you're too far up your own ass to enjoy life and being a human.

This thread is interesting because it is an example of what Plato would call the Democratic Man.

>Neither does he receive or let pass into mind any true word of advice; if any one says to him that some pleasures are the satisfactions of good and noble desires, and others of evil desires, and that he ought to use and honour some and chastise and master the others --whenever this is repeated to him he shakes his head and says that they are all alike, and that one is as good as another.
>and as the result of all, see how sensitive the citizens become; they chafe impatiently at the least touch of authority and at length, as you know, they cease to care even for the laws, written or unwritten; they will have no one over them.

Temperance was defended as a virtue. No word was spoken about creating laws or rules against sex outside of marriage. But just saying that temperance is a virtue, that temperance is good for you, what was the reaction?

Ad hominem attacks. Angry texts such as:

>Everyone who says this is a repressed virgin, fuck you.

>>3161415

>>3161401
>Do you truly believe that everyone ever in the history of mankind cared about sex as much as you do to this point?
Not everyone, as evidenced by this thread, but I'm fairly certain most people did care about how well their partner could satisfy them, barring those who only married for economic or political reasons.

It's shitty but it's what most guys want out of a relationship. My wife actually taught me that you can have a fulfilling relationship without it, and once we did have sex we already appreciated so more more than each other's bodies. It enriched our love and appreciation for each other.

To care too much about sexual pleasure, like the person I'm talking with seems to. To let sexual pleasure dictate who you would marry.

Casual sex even once is hedonistic.

>>3161537

I actually agree with you that caring too much about sexual pleasure to the point of letting dictate who you would marry is a bad thing.

Everyone should read this, in order to have an understanding about how sexual morals changed in the last few decades.

You wanna talk about arranged marriages? Good.
Do you think a father would choose a bride who'll only agree to have sex once in a blue moon for his son, if he could somehow find out about that in advance? Or that most men would be glad to have such a woman for a wife? That's discounting the fact it was the "wife's duty" to satisfy their husband in many societies, so he could always force himself on her.
Of course if we reverse the genders the same thing applies.

Look, the bottom line is this: since sex is so irrelevant, would you marry someone who'll NEVER have sex with you? Don't forget that if you say no you're just being a hedonist who's letting his 'low instincts' choose for him.

That has to be the most ignorant post I have ever read in this board. Where do you take your history lessons? Game of Thrones?

For Athenian men, chastity and modesty were considered VERY important virtues for wives. Marriage was about procreation and extending your family name, it was not about pleasure.

>>3161598
Casual sex is by its own nature hedonistic. You are going to have sex, with someone you feel no emotion to, without any end other than pleasure.

>>3161658
Is it extreme though? I think you're throwing around that word lightly. And you still haven't answered my other questions, which tells me you're deliberately dodging them.

>>3161666
Yes, it is.

I think people should avoid masturbating and that they should avoid watching pornography. There are already some studies being released about the bad effects of pornography on the brain.

Not the anon you're replying to, but you are really missing the point. If you don't think sexual pleasure should be the primary factor into a marriage or relationship, that doesn't mean you think you shouldn't have sexual pleasure at all. There's a middle ground that you're very willfully ignoring.

If you're relationship is primarily based off sexual pleasure, there's absolutely nothing keeping you from leaving them the minute they don't satisfy you sexually. As people grow older, their looks and sex appeal wear off. There's nothing stopping you from moving on to the next person who will bring you sexual pleasure, because you have no other true attachment to your previous partner.

A relationship built on shared interests and values is a much stronger foundation than sexual pleasure itself. The people in these relationships have a deeper connection than just the physical aspects of the relationship, which makes the sexual pleasure not as important. It's a lot harder to replace a partner who shares your interests and values than one who just gives you sexual pleasure.

To an extent, I agree with you that sexual pleasure is an important aspect to relationships. However, it shouldn't be the primary purpose of the relationship, if you intend on it lasting for the rest of your life.

I suppose Aristophane's Lysistrata is based on a fully fictional Greece then. What with men wanting women to have sex with them and all.

>>3161696
Yes, Athenian men chose sluts who were great in bed when they wanted to marry someone. Are you happy now?

>>3161688
I fully agree.

I didn't. See >>3161372

You are saying that "sexual compatibility" is a crucial thing in a relationship and that people always thought so. Because obviously, people in every age of history had the same mindset of a woman who reads the Cosmopolitan.

My apologies, I must've missed that post.

So what is non extreme hedonism? Drinking soda instead of water because you like the taste? You're pretty high up there on your horse, anon.

And I'm not arguing for porn, I think it's fucking cancer and ruins expectations for sex and libido in general. I'm asking you about your habits, which you're still dodging.

I've shared my sexual history, but to recap and add on, I watched a ton of porn and then graduated to casual hook ups, until I met my wife and stopped both. We dated for 2 years and never went any further than kissing. She threatened to dump me for groping her boob once.

I agree with this guy. Me and my wife have sex for fun, because it is fun. We have absurd, decadent sex, and if you name it we've probably tried it, and if we haven't, we probably will, as long as it doesn't involve poo or other people.

But basing a relationship around sex is a bad idea, because sex eventually loses it's luster, and you start to think that Karla next door might give oral better than the uninteresting lump of flesh you've been humping for the last 3 months. It happens a lot.

Why do you care so much about MY habits?
If I'm a super degenerate who participates in orgies and is sick of it or if I'm a Buddha who feels no Earthly desires will that make any of what I wrote wrong?

>You're pretty high up there on your horse, anon.

I don't remember ever gloating about how I'm a Buddha or a Stoic/Epicurean sage. I just said that like the Buddha and the Stoic would say, hedonism is bad for you.

And that said, I quit masturbating and I don't watch pornography. Are you happy now?

>>3161754
Yep, she likes it, I'm not a huge fan. But hey, whatevs.

The tone of your posts is condescending and I'm trying to discern why.
>>3161767
That's good, good for you. It explains your viewpoint. Really, I mean it, I think that's great, I wish I'd never started. It twists the mind. Though shouldn't you masturbate a little? Or is that just if you did a lot and suddenly stop?

Because I knew a guy who got medically ordered to masturbate after he literally got blue balls. Swelling, aching, discoloration.

>>3161775
>I wish I'd never started. It twists the mind.
How did you stop? I've been trying to for a while but I often relapse.

>>3161775
Excuse me I got off the track a little there. I still don't believe casual sex is extreme, even though it's not something to base a relationship off of. I do think that after a certain amount and age it becomes unhealthy, but I don't think two 19 year olds casually exploring sex is necessarily a bad thing. Getting into late 20's and 30's? You know what you're doing, and you're doing it purely for hedonistic reasons, so I will concede that that is extreme.

I'm now curious how you feel about food, but that's neither here nor there.

>>3161775
>The tone of your posts is condescending and I'm trying to discern why.
I don't know any other way of writing. And I guess any way of saying "you know people are looking at life the wrong way" will sound condescending. I don't think I'm specially illuminated or that I'm a genius. I think that something went horribly wrong in the last century and that people forgot many important lessons (statistics actually agree with me)

>I think that's great, I wish I'd never started. It twists the mind
Yes. Medical research is starting to show this.

Having a strong partner who I could talk too. It's like anything else, AA has sponsors for a reason.

When we met I actually had a picture of a nude woman in bondage as my desktop background, and she told me she thought it was reprehensible and she didn't agree with it and I blew her off, until she finally told me that "having lust in my heart is the same as lust in truth," (I forget the actual scripture, forgive me) and that it was basically just mental cheating.

So I talked to her about it and she helped me through it. You need a strong support system, or an iron will.

Looking at it now, you're curt. You don't bother saying things like, "in my opinion," or "I believe," you just state your feelings. You'll have to excuse an old /k/ommando who has to deal with retards spouting incorrect and factually wrong opinions and myths as fact has made me a little defensive in that regard.
>I think that something went horribly wrong in the last century
I agree, as a product of that environment. I was left empty, depressed, and jaded by my lack of meaningful human relationships, and it was a situation I was in of my own design.

I'm glad that some of the younger generations are becoming more conservative, despite what Hollywood would have us believe.

Nope this isn't bait at all. Islam is taking over and people are in denial about it.

Well as a combat veteran I can assure you I have no love of Islam or it's teachings. And again, I can't speak to European issues, being a Burger.
