I’m asking as a non-religious person; I just find it romantic. I met a guy I really like recently and we’ve been hanging out a lot. I told him about my boundary, and he’s cool with it.

    It can hurt. For many of the reasons posted already.

    Incompatible sexual preferences, or libidos can really drain a relationship sometimes.

    Putting off the sex until marriage can also lead to one or the other to be not completely honest, even with themselves about why they’re pushing for the marriage. And once that line is crossed, it can become hallow.

    You should already know what you’re getting into before signing a (hopefully) lifetime promise with someone.
