What Virgins Say About Sex

You might think, What would virgins have to say about sex? In fact, they have a lot more to say than you might expect. In this chapter, we asked a number of virgins whether they have stayed pure and, if so, why they are glad they did. The boldness these people shared in their responses is remarkable, and they can give us some insights into what experiencing a life of purity looks like. Check these out:

Yes, I have stayed pure. I feel that God's plan is so much better than I can even imagine, so I'd rather wait on Him. I am so glad I've waited.

(Female, age 17)

I haven't had a boyfriend for a year, which really helps. I'm glad that even in past relationships I've controlled myself, because now I can give myself to my husband completely.

(Female, age 18)

Yes, I have stayed pure. I want to save myself for my wedding night.

(Female, age 17)

Yes, and I am glad.

(Male, age 17)

I made a promise to God and myself that I would wait for my future husband. I don't want to break that promise, because I know I'll regret it.

(Female, age 16)

I haven't had sex, but I have messed around, and I don't feel pure anymore.

(Female, age 16)

I want my first time to be with my husband.

(Female, age 19)

I have stayed sexually pure, because that is the thing to do. God has really helped.

(Male, age 19)

I know sex is more than physical and that you become one with that person, so the only person I want to share that with is my husband. It's saved me from carrying a lot of hurt and baggage.

(Female, age 19)

Yes, I've stayed pure. I wear a purity ring, and I love my choice because it sets an example. I don't think I'm better than anyone else, but it helps me in being a leader to others. Being a Christian means worshiping God in all you do. He said sex is for marriage—and that is final!

(Male, age 20)

God really does have our best interests at heart when He tells us to remain pure. It's like a parent telling his or her two-year-old not to touch a hot stove. The child wants to do it anyway, but the parent knows what is best, which is why he or she tells the child not to touch the stove. You can see from the stories in the previous chapter just how many people have been burned. If you want to avoid this, just follow God's ways.

I have not lost my virginity because I believe it is a gift, and you can't get it back. It is very important to keep it.

(Female, 16)

I want to wait and see the woman God has picked out for me.

(Male, age 16)

It's very important to me to stay pure until I'm married. I know it will be worth it and that God will bless me for it.

(Female, age 15)

Sex really is a gift that God has given you to give to your spouse—and only to your spouse.
