Marriage and virginity question

    Hi!

    As you probably understood from the name of the topic I'm interested in your opinions about marrying a non virgin girl, what do you think about it? does it matter to you? does it bother you that the girl you are about to marry is not a virgin? of course you shouldn't expect women over 30 to be virgins but.... be honest not 30 but it's hard to find a non virgin girl over 18!

    I'm not saying that I'm against marrying non virgins, actually I don't care, but couple of days ago I was at this party where they started talking about this and many people actually cared! which surprized me! I'm just interested in what you guys think about it

    indifferent.

    may i ask: why is she a virgin?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 302 ✭✭Auburn


    Over 18? That's a bit optimistic.

    I don't understand why some men have this obsession. I think it was more common years ago. They want someone who's sweetness and light, brimming with innocence and then expect her to be dynamite in bed. Sorry, but the two don't go together.

    i'd agree that initially sex will probably be really crap - especially if you care / love her - you won't enjoy hurting her...

    Why are my sarcasm detectors going off?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    also indifferent.

    as for it being difficult to find a virgin over 18, i dont see that as a necessarily bad thing. i mean its over the legal age and theres not too many men or women these days that are of the belief that sex is only meant for people in love and then in turn should only be carried out in marriage.

    i've been in love and wanted to sleep with him. didnt mean i was going to marry him.

    however i think if people strongly believe in it then fair play to them.

    oh and just a question....are u a virgin?

    oh and did anyone else notice that while some men do have this obsession many of them arent virgins?? whats that all about? why should they get their leg over and then refuse to marry a girl unless she's a virgin? doesnt make much sense really.:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    no sarcasm.

    (since he's not replying any time soon) I'll answer for him-no. he is not a virgin. (....c'mon!)

    virgins are few and far between .:. 'exotic'. double standards as you'd expect... :rolleyes:

    I don't think being a virgin when getting married is all that important in Ireland. However, in other countries, for example America (especially the so called bible belt) it seems to be more important. Of course they seem to get married at a much younger age-presumably because they were gagging for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    why thank you auburn i was aware of that. my WTF was related to the "i'm a man!" part of his response.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    I couldnt imagine marrying anyone I hadnt had sex with, I mean its an important part of a normal healthy relationship.

    IMHO you'd have to be a control freak or a religious nutcase to insist the girl you marry is a virgin. In this day and age??? I dont think so.

    I'd hope that the poor woman I end up marrying had taught me a thing or two before the wedding!

    I'm from the American bible belt area...virginity is not really the big issue its how often does one sleep around and the reason why most people get married around here at a young age is because they got pregnant.

    Besides alot of guys I know probably wouldn't marry a virgin but are fascinated with trying to score one

    Me on the other hand I wouldn't want a virgin guy...I want someone with experience with me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭silverside


    ah c'mere - this should be in AH

    how many virgins do you find around these days at a marriageable age? No disrespect to anyone who is.

    Most people have played the field for a while, nothing wrong with that at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 598 ✭✭✭DrummerBoy


    This kinda reminds me of an expression that a girl I used to work with told me. Her mom had told her "X, remember this. You gotta sleep with the whore and marry the virgin"
    I fell about laughing when i heard this. Just thought it was class!!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    It wouldn't really bother me at all whether she was or not. If she's not then the sex is probably going to be a bit better... practice makes perfect.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,777 ✭✭✭✭The Corinthian


    I always got the impression that men who want to marry virgins, did so because they did not want to be compared with any other man on account that they would probably come up wanting, as it were.

    And, TBH, most women bring enough emotional baggage to a relationship without adding their deflowering to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 227 ✭✭Syke


    i only ever sleep with virgins. every girl so far for me usually in first year college so if ya go to freshers balls in autumn you get a good pick. lotsa people say they like the chase and stuff and i think a challenge is a turnon. ya gotta lower your standards sometimes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,280 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Why would anyone keep their virginity until their weddings nowadays? Surely we're past the repressive Catholic nonsense that plagued our country for so long?

    I couldn't marry someone I hadn't been in a relationship with for a long time and during that length of time I would expect to be having a sexual relationship with that person.

    I think it's unlikely a person in todays Ireland is gona wait until marriage to have sex.I agree with much of what has been said above.In terms of children,I think I would hate to have children outside of marriage so I take precaution while having sex.

    I've been waiting for this day.

    Thank you Allah

    Thank you Chaos

    Thank you Fate

    A PI question gets asked somewhere other than the PI board.

    Now I can post the TRUTH without fear of "don't offend the poster" police down on my head getting me banned.

    So here it is:

    "You're all morons and should be euthanised - the original poster should be shot and as for your problem:

    HAAAAAAAAAAA Haaaaaaa haaa haa haaaaa

    Cheers for the laugh I needed that."


    Oh man that felt good.

    Because she hasn't had sex yet !

    I'm completely befuddled as to why any man would expect his fianceé to be a virgin unless he too was in the same boat. I suppose it's viable to want to marry a virgin, however, if you're looking to performi blood sacrifice to Satan. In that case I thiink it's acceptable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,794 ✭✭✭MojoMaker


    Cos it's a troll.

    Yup. It's a little prehistoric, and utterly unreasonable, for my tastes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭Kersh


    I dont really mind either, just once she is not a bike. Or has gone around a circle of friends. I would not say there are many 18+ virgins out there...that are any fun...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 248 ✭✭catsup


    im thinkin that the men who want to marry virgins are doing so because they cant take criticism. having no prior carnal knowledge means the woman has nothing to compare the marital bed to.

    I think he also has some kind of jealousy/controlling issues.

    I mean, what's so bad about a woman whose had sex before? I can't think of anything wrong with it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭CyberGhost


    yea man! the started of this thread is a complete troll!

    Get lost!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,375 ✭✭✭Antisocialiser


    Youd have to be shaggin her before you got married so she wouldnt be a virgin. I wouldnt want to spend 3 (at least) pre-marital years without the ride


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭ven0m


    All I know is if I marry someone, I ain't got the patience to teach them alllll the filth I know, so they better be a pro ... LOL.... so much filth so little time.... ain't it always like that?????

    This is one weird thread.

    I'd like to get married. If I do, I don't really mind if my wife isn't a virgin.

    I'd like to have remained a virgin myself until I get married. I also think it's perfectly understandable that people have hang-ups about being compared to other people with regards to their sexual performance. Sex is something that most people have hang-ups about.

    The only good reason I can think of for wanting to marry a virgin is that, if I do, I can wear my "Worst lover my wife has ever had" t-shirt without it being embarassingly accurate.

    I fear any woman I might marry would stab me for that kind of thing, but such sacrifices must be made for the sake of the joke.
