Not then, not now either. Not either of the two times I have been married. No longer married to either woman. Kind of regret that.
I also regret buying a guitar amplifier from a mail order catalog once without ever getting a chance to try it out and see how it sounds, what it can do. Found out after I purchased it that all sales were final and it kind of sucked and was not worth what I paid for it. That amounted to all the Christmas tips accumulated from my paper route customers that year (I was 13) that would have been better spent elsewhere. But I learned a valuable lesson……try before you buy.
Now when you marry, you are not buying your spouse nor is it happening exclusively for sex. At least it shouldn’t be only for sex. But you are entering into a binding contract that can only be broken by a judge or death. That’s some heavy dope there, trust me! And sex is generally a pretty important part of being married and being human in general. Not everyone is sexually compatable. It would really suck to find out that you zig and she zags after saying I Do. It baffles me why anyone with even minimal intelligence would consider marriage to someone when they have no idea if they are sexually compatible or not.
Then again, this question has religious top notes in it’s scent so I get where it’s coming from. But even if I were religious, which I am most decidedly not, I do not see any reason I why I would regret it. Plenty of religious folks out there having sex in violation of the stupid, impractical rules of their faith that fly in the face of human nature and biological urges.
No offense and pardon my ignorance, but I do not see what possible good could come from abstaining from sex until you marry the guy/girl. Besides, who says everyone wants to be married or must be married? And who says sex is only for married people? Tell that to my cat. She’s been pregnant three times and never married even once. Someone tells me that noise, they better have some unquestionably good reason why I should follow suit. Too late for me, though. Too bad, not sad.
