The path to an emotionally compatible sexual relationship - rather than "meaningless sex" is a different one for me to the path to the altar.

I would find it very odd to have developed the emotional relationship in which sex would then be the wholly natural action only to be told that this was off the menu until the wedding night.

It' love and marriage - not sex and marriage. I always felt that female virginity was the vestige of a patriarchal system for the benefit of men not women.

About my 3 cents.
