Comments: Ft Walton Beach area, FL. What can I say, it was the right thing to do. Even after marriage, I still won't show that love until we(my wife and I)are ready, in God's will. I'm certainly glad I have remained pure, and will continue to remain pure. Because we're worth it.

Comments: I live in Minnesota and let me tell you...it is extremely hard to stay sexually pure but if you put your heart, body, and soul into it, you can do it!!! It takes a lot of commitment but with your friends, parents, Gods, boyfrines/girlfriends it can be easier. There are more than just a "few" people who are waiting, and I want all of you to know that you are not alone. And even if you have hae sex, God always forgives, but you still deal with the consequences. But one last thought... TRUE LOVE WAITS!!! Your sister in Christ, ~jules~ xoxo

Comments: I am a junior in college. I decided to remain abstinent because of religious beliefs and personl observance. I believe that if God can do so many good things for us that we should be able to at least control our bodies. Also I've watched my friends get pregnant. Their reputations were tarnished all because they did what they thought was cool at the time. Also they have to work as twice as hard to succeed in life, as if that isn't hard enough already. I've watched people put on one face to get want they want, then they kick you to the curve after they're done. I have to admit it is difficult sometimes, especially when you are attractive to people. However I believe that this is one of my ways to say that I believe in God. In addition this choice allows me to see who truly is about more than a few seconds of pleasure.

Comments: Outside Nashville, TN. I decided to stay abstinent to continue to strengthen my bond with the Lord and to focus on getting to know the guy I am currently seeing. I have blown it so many times in the past and I even blew it yesterday. This morning, I have prayed to the Lord to strengthen my spirituality and to eliminate the Devil's calling to submit to my hormonal pleasures. I am thankful that my new friend has told me that his feelings will not change it I go back and tell him that what we did was a mistake last night. In fact, we are going to have a talk sometime this week about why it is better to just abstain, etc, etc. I had too much to drink last night and I did not restrain myself when I should have in the beginning. He kept telling me to tell him to stop if I was uncomfortable; but I failed to do so and told him to go ahead. I will be laughed at by the enemy and the enemy will be on the lookout to try to make me slip as I pursue secondary virginity - but the Lord is by my side and will see to it that I follow through for good because I refuse to surrender to my hormones. Some changes will have to be made with alcohol intake. I have even contemplated total abstinence from alcohol because of the way I act when I drink beyond my tolerance limit - but that still needs to be decided in the future. For those who feel as if it is too late and that you have blown it - YOU can always begin again. IN my church, there are people who have had a lot of healing from the Lord in the respect of premarital sex and are now serving as vessels in his Kingdom. -E.K.

Comments: (Lodi, CA) I just wanted to say how excited I was to find your website. This issue has been heavy on my heart as too many girls (and guys) today buy into the lies of this world. I made a commitment to sexual abstinence when I was 15. Since then, I have rethought my commitment to sexual purity. I believe God wants not just our virginity, but our hearts and minds. It is not how far is too far, but rather how pure is too pure. I'm a intern at a teen center and we did a seminar on this just a month ago. The Lord did some amazing things! I face a daily battle of purity, but I am confident the reward will be tenfold. Praise and glory to God!

Practicing absitinenece is the best way to come to know eachoter's deep personnality and share real confidence and trust, and also the best way to know if a guy trully cares about you.And it's never to late to become abstinent, no matter how sexually active you've been.

Comments: i live in Massachusetts. The reasons I became sexually abstinent are plenty. I am experiencing secondary abstinence as me and my boyfriend have HAD a sexual past together. We chose to give up that life because we had to abort our unborn baby because we were not emotionally ready or financially ready to support a child. The abortion was the hardest thing to do because I love life and dont take it for granted but i did not want my unborn child to suffer neither my boyfriend or myself. We thought of it as a second chance for happiness and to build a stronger more meaning full love as we do plan to marry in the future. it is also a healthier choice considering the growing rates of std's in the country. We dont have any STD's but it is just another example of a reason to abstain. I have regretted many things in my life but abstaining from sex until marraige is the smartest thing I could have ever done and the smartest thing ANYONE could ever do! I dont regret making this decison. thanks for listening and this site is excellent

Comments: I remained a virgin until I was married at the age of 29. My wife was 22 and was also a virgin. Her reasons for remaining a virgin were religious. Mine were not. For me personally, I couldn't have a sexual relationship with a person unless it was a life-long commitment, and marriage is the only life-long commitment that is connected with a sexual relationship. Living-together is just an open-door scape-goat for walking away from another person. From the time I was in late Jr. High School up until I got married, I was constantly rediculed for being a virgin and accused of being gay. In college and in the work world I actually became a target for some girls who wanted to "bag a virgin male". If you are a virgin, and REALLY believe you should stay that way until marriage, stick to your guns. Girls, if a guy REALLY loves and cares about you, he WILL wait and he WON'T pressure you. I know many people who did not wait until marriage and later regretted it. One thought : People who disagree with your beliefs will say that being a virgin is nothing special - you're being unrealistice in today's world, you're frigid, you're weird, you're a religious nut. If that is so, why do people (both women and men) want virgins, either for marriage or for bragging to their friends that they de-virgined somebody. Your first time sexual experience IS significant, whether it is intercourse or someother form of sexual activity. If it wasn't, then people would not remember their first time sexual experiences for the rest of their lifes. It DOES change a person. Things DO become different when a non-sexually active person becomes active. It IS a significant moment in your life. Make it special. Make it permanent. For me and my wife, we are both very happy to know that nobody else in the world has done anything sexual with the other, except ourselves. Stay Strong!

Comments: Phoenix,Arizona. I decided that I wanted God's best in every area of my life, which meant commiting ALL of my ways to Him. Since making the commitment,God has taken me through a seven year process of purification and preparation for the Godly husband that He's revealed is on his way. This decision was one of the best that I've ever made! God has restored my self-esteem, direction, and made me beautiful (by His design) I now desire to have nothing less than His best and feel completely confident that the wait will be absolutely worth it!!

I grew up as an atheist most of my life, found Jesus at 13, have been fully living for Him since the begining of my 9th grade year of high school when i was 14 (im almost a senior now). Ive decided long ago to stay abstinent because marriage is what God made sex for. Ive had lots of offers of sex, and even 2 people have tried to get me to make a pornographic movie with them, which i declined. Its not easy but i know its Gods will for me to wait, which is why i pray he sends me my wife soon, because i'd be very ashamed if i ever lost my virginity because some girl caught me at a vulnerable stage.

I always wanted to wait until I was ready, but after I lost two classmates this year I decided sex was definetly not a priority and it could wait. I like having something to stand for and something to believe in. The Bible says that premarital sex is wrong and that sex is pure and wonderful between a husband and wife. I want to live my life as a good Christian and to remsin pure for someone who loves me and supports my commitment.

Comments: I choose to save sex until marriage for many many reasons. The #1 reason is because it is in God's will that sex is saved for marriage-where it was created only for. And it is sooooo much more enjoyable in the boundaries of marriage. Also, I want to give my husband something nobody else in the WORLD has gotten before-me. I've thought about purity for a few years now and I'm still even debating about where I should kiss before marriage or not (that's how serious I am) I've heard stories about couples who first kissed at their wedding and how glad they were they waited. It's so hard in today's world "I can do anything through Jesus Christ, who strengthens me" Phillipians 4:13 I'm so glad I found this site and all these others who are waiting also.

Comments: I have made mistakes with relationships in the past, but have managed to stay abstinent. I think of it this way, as I heard in a bible study on my college campus a couple years ago. When I get married, I want to give my husband all of me. God has given him to me, and I to him. If I do not remain abstinate then everytime I am with a person in a way I shouldn't be, part of me is with that person. Part of me I can never get back. Especially that first person. I want to give that gift to my husband. I just think there could be no sweeter wedding gift to give the person you decide to marry. It is something that you can only give one time and I want it to be right.

I have made some mistakes in my life but this past year I have done a 180 and im that much closer to making a complete turnaround. To make a life long story short ,I've had it really hard. not just "woops i got an C on my test." woops like "how did i become pregnant and behind bars??!?" then out of the blue god just said "hey, todays your lucky day" and i got out met a guy that i would anything for and believe it or not he shared the same feelings with me. Its been a year now and I've enrolled in college and got a job and we have our very own apartment. we were recently talking about how its going to be when we get married (in 6 years when college is finished) and he remembered a fact that he read about how only 5% of couples that lived together before they were married actually make it with out divorce. Can you believe it??!? 5% so we discused it and decided that it was because they get sexually bored! So weve decided that we would give eachother the best gift ever and become abstinent together. We feel like this will bring us closer together and ensure a happier future for us and for our children.

In a marriage where 2 people put the Lord first in their lives, will be blessed with a sexual relationship of the selfless kind that surpasses any of my understanding right now.I have since been filling that void I vainly tried to fill with sex by seeking God's word and his will for me. When I keep my eyes on the Lord by continuing to serve him, I forget myself and I can keep my sexual energy in an appropiate place.

So by practicing the virtue of chasity and keeping your virginity not only are u keeping yourself pure for your spouse but for God. He gave us everything. Its the least we can do show how much u love him. Thats why I will remain a vigin until the sacrament of marriage.

Comments: ive decided to wait for marriage becuase of my religous beleifs. i made a vow to god to wait for marriage. its hard when ur a teenager to wait because u think that its natural to do things with ur bf. sometimes things go to far. i like wat that persone said about sex. it isnt for a man and man or for a women and women or even for a man and women. its for a man and his wife and a women and her husband. thats so tru. god gave us this gift we can either hold it dear to ourselves and only let our husbands, or wives share it with us or we can ruin it by letting people who we dont really care about take it from us. theres this one person that god has set out for all of us. we should should love and respect that person enough to keep this gift for me. i am because when i get married i want my husband to be the only one whose ever known me. all of me. the only one whose ever gonna be intimate with me. i hope that he is willing to love nad respect me enough to wait for me to. sex has so many emotional bonds. making love is special, without love sex is just plain sex. i beleive that when u find that someone gods chosen for u it will be in his time not ur time. god leads and we should follow. thats wat ive learnt. we need to stop running around to find love. it comes to us when its meant to come and when god thinks were ready. we should live fruitful lives in christ. im no expert this is just wat i think. thanks for listening. god bless and go hard. wait for ur future husband or wife

Comments: In all honesty I did not choose to remain Abstinent until marriage. I had 2 children out of wedlock and struggled with it every day. I did not choose abortion because I am totally pro-life. What I have done, now that I am married to a wonderful man and fully pursuing God's will for my life, is decide to promote TOTAL Abtinence in my area. We have had a Christian concert for the past two years to promote TOTAL Abstinence and it has been a big hit. We have reached many young, and not so young, adults. They sign a purity pledge if they wish to remain abstinent. It's about the size of a business card, that way they can carry it with them always. I urge all young people to remain Abstinent until marriage. I love my children, I have 3 now, dearly and would not give them up for anything in the world, but if I could do it over and still end up with the same wonderful kids I would wait until I was REALLY in love and married. Don't let anyone tell you that if you have already had sex that it's too late for you!! Make the commitment to yourself and God to remain pure from this day on. Sorry I rambled, but as they say hindsight is 20/20. Don't do something that you may have to regret later.

Comments: I live in NSW australia. Firstly from reading this guest book most of the reasons of which people are remaining virgins is because of religious beliefs, i do not , and have not ever believed in god, and this is not a factor in which i believe should come into staying a virgin. Your body is yours and no one elses, not even gods, so make the decision yourself and dont involve facts such as religion and god. There is NOTHING wrong with sex before marriage, if you love someone, you dont have to be married to show it. Just do it when your ready, have no regrets, as it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

Comments: i live in oregon? yes very boring state, boring town. i decided to become abstinent because i have seen sex ruin so many lives. my best friends, whom i was extremely envious of for having boyfriends, soon were boyfriendless and rendered "sluts." every last one of them. we do live in a society with many double standards, one being "it's okay for a boy to have sex, but if a girl has sex, she's a whore." i think either one having sex before marriage is equally wrong. but back on the subject... i am scared to have sex anyways, i have heard far too many horror stories. when i have sex for the first time, i want it to be amazing, with someone who is just as clueless as me.

Comments: My Dear friends in Christ, I live in Rolla Mo. ( about an hour and a half away from St. Louis. ) And I haven't always had my personal views about premarial sex abstinence. I just abstained because I knew it wasn't a good thing to do and it was a big nono ect... But, just recently, I really had a change of heart and now I think deciding to remain chaste until marraige is a great idea!!!! I mean, think of all the bad results from not abstaining: Sexually transmitted diseases, premarital pregnancy, ( which can lead to abortion )and when you break up with the person you've had sex with, you experience a terrible heartache that's hard to put up with. Mary Beth Bonnacci sayd that when you have sex, you give yourself ( body and all ) to that person and say, "I belong to you, I love you, forever " So basically you're saying when you have sex, you are attached to that person, forever. And when you break up, it hurts, because you are being torn away from that person. And you don't want to go through that. Why not just save that ultimate pleasure for someone special who you are married too and not have to go through all that emotional and physical trouble. Wouldn't it be nice to experience sex for the FIRST time, to savour ALL of it, without having to think of spreading STDS, or breaking up, or " was she better or her," ect... So my friends, that is my veiw and why I personally want to save that AWESOME moment for someone who will love and care for me for sure and not compare me with anyone else or give me a terrible disease. There are so many other things I'd LOVE to ralk to you about, but just don't have the time or space. So, I just strongly encourage you to think about this and do your best to be the most chaste person you can be. And don't worry!!! You won't be doing it alone!!! There are lots of people out there who are doing it too ( including me. ) and would LOVE to talk and get to know more people who are doing it too!!!! And best of all, if you REALLY have a strong commitment to abstain, and want to do it more than anything, God will help you. Pray, ask him to give you chastity and keep you out of tempting relationships. And this will not mean you can't have loving relationships with other people. I do and I love it!!!! Just remember, stay out of tempting situations. If you feel ready to get more serious, do something else, go public. Just don't let anything happen. Cut it off before it happens. Virginity is something you must give away, it can't be taken. When you look back, you'll be happy you did. Well, I hope I havn't bored you!!!! I just love talking about things that are important to me. I'd love to talk to you!!! I'd like to get to know more people with the same views as I. God Bless you always. Your's in Christ, Erin

Comments: I live in Baltimore, Maryland. I decided to stay abstinent for two reasons. One, because I became sexually active when I was 21, and to this day, I still feel it was the biggest mistake of my life. I lost a lot of respect for myself, because I started to feel that that was the only way to get (and hold on to) a 'boyfriend'. Two, most importantly, I know that the Lord wasn't pleased with me. My behavior interfered with my relationship with God, and hindered me from serving Him the way that He would have me to. I still stumble (in thought only -- not in deed), but I'm trying to learn self-control. It's only through prayer and God's grace and mercy that I'll be able to overcome.

Comments: i'm living in a country called malaysia in asia. i decide to stay abstinent bcoz i think that virginity is very important. i wanna give it to the one i love most which is my future partner n that is going to be after my marriage. ask yourself, do you prefer your future partner to be a virgin? yes of coz! see? not only guys want their wife to be virgin, girls do too! this is bcoz that their wanna share their special gift from God since they were young to their lifetime partner. n that also means that no one b4 them should have already give their virginity to other person. i dont mean that it's wrong to be a non-virgin, but when you have sex with your future partner( who is a virgin n doesnt mind that you're not a virgin), still there will always be a SHADOW in you.n also ur conscience... so, i think that if you can, please do keep your virginity so that you will not regret in the future~!

Comments: I live in LaSalle, IL. I was date raped my senior year in high school, and it left me numb for weeks. For years I had held my virginity close to my heart, and promised God and myself that I would stay pure until marriage. But the thing is-- now I know that I still am pure, and regardless of what the enemy has tried to steal from me, I have risen up and taken on the task of encouraging young people to hold onto their virginity, and not to be decieved by the world's glitz and glamor of sexuality. I have talked to many young girls who have been in compromising situations, some even forced to have sex like I was, who think that once it is happened, it's all over and you might as well just sleep with anyone and not think twice. But God heals AND forgives, and you can still keep your vow to your future spouse to save yourself. Do it- God will honor it. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! Try TrueLoveWaits.com for more info on abstinence!

Comments: well abstainace from sex was not my idea of life from childhood but an encounter with JESUS CHRIST changed all that, God never designed SEX to be enjoyed outside the confinement of marriage ,and sexual sin of all kind is greatly frowned at by God, if there is any device the devil is using so much to destroy youth in this age it is SEXUAL IMMORALITY, it is good to see that there still a remenant that still think that ABSTAINANCE is a good virtue , but by strength shall no man prevail, it is the GRACE of GOD that keeps us SAFE AND SOUND, i will really be happy if more peer groups that promotes and encourage this value can be established , that we might encourage and strenghten one another for deep calls unto deep and iron sharpens iron. lagos, Nigeria

Comments: I decided to stay abstinent when my ex-husband started having an affair and left. I commitment was very weak because I still had all the desires of a married woman. I began working at a Crisis Pregnancy center in the mountains of Northwest North Carolina. The commitment became stronger; one because I could not counsel women in crisis pregnancy situations unless I was abstinent; two I was part of the abstinence team teaching and mentoring young people in abstinence and three because the Lord showed me that it is not just sexualy purity but total purity in heart, mind and soul. Therefore, I became strengthened in my decision for abstinence.

Comments: I am from Logan, Utah. First of all I think your website is wonderful. I agree with so many of things that you have said on this site. Its plain and simple and straight forward. I came across while doing a research paper for one of my college classes. My family is very religious, I have always been taught about abstaining from sex, and everything that leads to it until marriage. I have always believed what I have been taught. But until the last two years I have never really had to stand up for what I beleive. I have had a serious boyfriend for the past little while, so this topic has often come up. It helps that my boyfriend and I see eye to eye on the topic, but sometimes it doesn't make any easier to say no when your caught up in the moment of kissing. This relationship has helped me to become ever firmer in my convictions on this topic. My boyfriend and I often talk about sex, the natural sexual drive that we have for one another, and we talk about the importance of abstaining and how wonderful it will be to share those feelings and emotions in the bounds of marriage. When know that if we live God's commandments then we will be happier in this right now, in the future and in the life to come. Thank you again for openness on the topic. Yvonne

Comments: I struggled with this decision from the first time I had sex...but I continued. I recently, within the last year decided to become abstinent after I got baptised in 2001. I understood that God had convicted me...I felt empowered...I finally had control over something in my life...My Body. I allowed myself to be used many times...not too many. I felt bad after each encounter becasue I knew God saw what I did. I live in New York. Honestly it is a stuggle and I pray often asking God for strength...day by day. It is sooooo true that a person should not put themselves around temtations such as movies , music, clubs, tv shows, and people that are sexual in nature. Many of my friends think I am rigid and picky when it comes to dating but I tell them,"If I choose to be abstinent there has to be someone else in this world who feels the same...and I might not meet him right away...but God will provide." STAY STRONG THROUGH PRAYER!!!!!!!!

I don't think it was because it was in the Bible, or because God said it was the right thing to do. I just felt it was what I wanted to do, and that I would make my wedding night more special. Actually, I don't want just me to be a virgin, but I want my husband to also be a virgin. This website is very encouraging, and it shows me that there are others out there who have the same feelings and beliefs as I do. I appreciate it!!

Comments: hi, i live in california and my decision to remain pure from any form of sexual actions has NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGIOUS BELIEFS i am not affiliated with any particular religeon, but i do believe that waiting until marriage will set a foundation for more honest, trusting and genuine relationships in my life. Also, it is the only proven way to not contribute to teen pregnancy or STDs. Just a word of encouragement to all of you out there who are thinking of abstinance as a way of life: you don't have to restrain from talking about sex or discussing your views with others. Just because you are choosing abstinance doesn't mean that you are a dork or unworthy of a loving relationship. There are tons of others out there like us, and you don't have to be religious to be pure. I didn't make this decision for God or for my parents, but for myself.

Comments: I live in Colorado and it seems everyone here just wants to have sex. All my friends (Haha, thats a funny one, friends) are constantly touching their girlfriends, and it's just nasty to me. I'm going to be 14 in May, but it still seems kids my age are just going nuts over this whole "sex" thing. I saw this site and it really inspired me. I just hope i can stay strong enough to impress my parents with ym self-control. I just hope God and Jesus will give me strength to go on.

Comments: hi, My name is zach, and I'm 13. i want tot alk about how i came to be sexually abstinent at such a young age and some things I've encountered. Recenly i discovered that many of my friends have had some form of oral sex\intercourse. I was appalled by the fact that they would do such a thing so young! when i was around 10 or 11, i said to myself that once my hormones kick in that I'd try to remain strong for God and Jesus. And i have. I get a lot of crap about being so prude, but i realzied that people that say that aren't my friends. I ran into this girl named Mandi. i love her a lot, but I'm afraid to tell her that im sexually abstinent. i also write a lot in my journals about some of the things i think about so they aren't on my mind. Nut i chose to do this because my parents always taught me that respect is the greatest gift, and it is. Abstinence is the greatest things you can give your husband\wife. it shows them that you respect them enough that you ignored temptation and that you stuck with you through thick and thin.you also gain a lot fo self-respect by knowing that your deep enough to actually ignore things like that. but, if you want to e-mail me, feel free to do so at anytime. my e-mails are Vampire_popoe@yahoo.com (and no im not gothic or anything, its just an e-mail) Popoe@evangelion.com or Zach@moo.com I live in Parker, Colorado U.S.A.

Comments: I live in Rhode Island, but I'm a freshman at a college in Connecticut right now. I decided to wait until marriage because I don't want to risk feeling what I could feel if I do have premarital sex. I know I'll regret it. It's been on my mind alot recently since I came to college. There's alot of pressure and it seems like noone waits any more. I'm so glad I found this website, because now I know I'm not alone. Contact me if anyone wants to chat about it.

Comments: Hi,My name is Courtney and I am in my 4th year of college. I live in Virginia. I made the decsion to remain sexaully abstinate until marriage when I participated in a "True Love Waits "ceremony at my church when I was 14 years old. I kept that commitment unitl I ws 16. I was in ( whatI thought was a long term relationship) at the time.I thought me and this guy were going to getr marrried. But we broke up right before I left for college. I stopped having sex with him before we broke and I felt so much better. I was starting to feel as if Iws gettingmy realtionship with God back on the righ track, and I recommited myself to remain sexually abstinate until marriage. And then I met a new guy... I couldn't think of anyone else but him. I went after him. I had never done that before. Well, We started to have sex, and we had sex all the time, and I began to feel very used. All along this realtionship, God had been talking to me about what steps I needed to take, but IO really loved this guy and Iwas afraid to tell him that I didn't want to do this anymore. That summer, I went to a youth conference and the Lord convitcted me again to reamain chaste - so that there was not even a hint of immorality. Well, I came back and told my boyfriend that I was no longer going to put himbefore my relationship with God, and I told himwhat happened over the weekend, and he said that God had also convicted him that same day that I was at the retreat!!! We have keep our plegde to GOd, ourselves, future spouses, and children to remain sexuallly abstinate until marriage. It has been a struggle... but we can do all things through Christ who strenghens us (Phil.4:13) I owuld love to hear from anyone who would like to talk ... give advice... recieve advice... prayer. I can use help too. So please write to me... God Bless you! Courtney speechteachercourtney@msn.com

Comments: I made the decision to stay abstinent, because I was taught at home by my Mom that it is better to wait until marriage because it is such a sacred moment, I believe that it is meant to be shared intimately on your honeymoon, it will be so special with the one you love. When I was growing up as a teenager, I saw some of my friends going in the wrong direction, having sex, getting pregnant before they were ready, and I did not want that to happen to me. Besides, I really didn't think much about sex, I wasn't emotionally ready, I always focused on other things, and now that I'm a Christian I realize how important it is to remain pure and holy before the Lord. I Love God and I want to live my life for him. I thank God for helping me to stay pure until marriage. I'll never regret this decision. I pray for other young people to think hard about the choices they are making now, because it's your future and you make the bed that you lie in , you will be proud of yourself by respecting yourself and wait for your husband and he will respect you for it too! I live in McCormick, South Carolina. Thank you!!
