The problem with commitment later in life after living a hedonistic life style is the attitude and practices of the people involved. After years of sexual indulgence, no commitment, and probably corruption of the body by STDs, it is very hard for people to turn into the faithful and committed partner in a loving relationship. And looking at the foundation of such a person, it is like trying to literally build a house upon shifting sand.

After years of sexual indulgence, no commitment, and probably corruption of the body by STDs, it is very hard for people to turn into the faithful and committed partner in a loving relationship. And looking at the foundation of such a person, it is like trying to literally build a house upon shifting sand.

I'm afraid that's been, on average, my observation in life. If a true and loving and committed-for-life marriage is important to you (for me, it was something I always knew I wanted, badly), then saving that intimacy for your life partner is something valuable and loving and lasting.
