So you're talking about couples who have already had sex, who choose to abstain for a short period before the wedding?

I would have sex whenever I wanted to and we had a chance to. My wedding night would be special no matter what. I wouldn't find it any more special by avoiding sex for a while before it.

I should think you could abstain for any amount of time that makes you comfortable. I personally didn't. But then we didn't have sex on our wedding night either lol For some ungodly reason the people followed us to our home and demanded we open all our wedding presents in front of them. So by the time we did all that and got all those insane idiots out of our house we only had a couple hours to sleep before we were leaving and Hubby was sooooooo drunk lol Honeymoon was fun though!

I didn't actually have sex for two weeks after our wedding... but that's because there was a lot going on. Plus we were tired the first night.

But I don't think I could have abstained at all beforehand.

I don't really have an opinion, since my husband and I didn't wait for marriage. We spent quite a bit of time away, since he was in the Navy then, though. I'd say at least 3-4 months apart at a time, if not more.

I think the longer you wait the more amazing it will be on the honeymoon

We just didn't have sex the night before. Every other night was fair game.

We waited till marriage... it made the night awkward rather than special, but it was fun to work things out together.

I don't think I would wait, but whatever a couple agrees to do is fine.

I think I'd like to wait at least a few days for it to be extra special, but not too long for one to be sex crazed at the wedding lol

I wouldn't abstain from sex, period.I fail to see how abstaining makes sex "special." Sex is a way that I can express my love to my partner, and if I'm not allowed to do that for whatever reason, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

I had this idea before we got married and the thing is if you refrain a guy for so long his stamina decreases so do you really want a short sex session on your wedding night?

Eh, it depends on the couple. I probably won't make it a point to abstain.

Eh, seems silly to me to abstain. Since sex is an important part of married life for many couples, it makes more sense to experiment together and see how well you go together in the sack before getting married.

As my grandmother once said on the subject: "You gotta take a test drive before you buy the car."

We waited for a whole month before our wedding to have sex. We screwed like bunnies before, but we decided to go the last month before to see if it would change anything or make it more fun. I didn't but it still made me feel a little romantic and old fashioned.

I would do a no sex week or so. Would make us all the more ready to jump each other's bones!

Probably wouldn't abstain, but my girlfriend when we get married may want to. Will have to see.

Take it from someone who knows. That abstinence-only crap ruins marriages. I waited with my wife until we got married and it wasn't until then that I find out she is not into any kind of sex other than me on top, don't do anything but tab-A into slot-B sex. We only have sex once a month, Worst decision in my life. Had I not waited I would have known that we were sexually incompatible right from the start.
