For me it's not the same thing, I believe in the sacrament of marriage, and so waiting for such a pivotal point shows true devotion and a mutual vow to to love "for better, for worse." But I understand that not everyone holds this belief in marriage, and in such a case, monogamy is definitely worth respect. That's just my point of view though!

When I look at people like that, I think it kind of cancels out the whole marriage thing, unless its for religious reasons. Surely in this instance in doesn't matter whether its before or after "I do".

By definition, that would still be sex outside the confines of marrage. Even if they never had sex with anyone else, it would still be against my beliefs.

I disagree.

Some things...no...MOST things...are more important than sex.

I agree...besides, sex starts in the head, not the bed, so any "dud" can be changed.
