Sometimes it's this high self-esteem which attracts women.

BTW, to girls who say they want to abstain from "giving" to their bf until after marriage, I have one piece of advice; Don't kid yourself. Humans will be humans, if they can't get something from one avenue they will get it from somewhere else; if he were truly a good and loyal man, he's probably a wanker.

If it's consensual between both parties, then why not? These days, couples want to wait so long until marriage. But the reality is, the craving for sex is always there.

Though, care should be taken to avoid any unwanted consequences. That separates responsible sex and the otherwise.

To me as long as my girl has no kid, STD or VD as a result of her past, I'm ok with it.

Sometimes it's also down to peer pressure. Hearing that "everybody is doing it, so why can't I" does have an impact in the decision making.

I find that guys who get angry about others having premarital sex, are somewhat frustrated about it (not getting any perhaps? )

Depends on the guy's point of view. If an ex-bf starts talking about ur wife's "skills", then just tell him "Too bad you can't have her anymore. She's mine forever now."

This viewpoint greatly depends on religion and culture. Some ppl think sex is a requisite (like a "try before u buy"), others think it's a taboo before marriage.

Saying yes to abstinence is easy. But with enough social pressure, such as knowing your good friends or colleagues around you are at it like rabbits...that part of your mind has gotta give sometime.
