Good for you!! There aren't very many single men who would say that, especially when it's so acceptable. Men would be surprised to learn that women don't want a man who has slept around. I don't want someone giving me a disease when I know I'm disease free.
I think it's somewhat disingenuous to lump "man-whores" with guys who have lived with women before marriage. I mean, my wife was only the second person I'd been sexual with (and the first barely counts as it was a stupid drunken mistake years ago), and we lived together for a short time before we got married. Not every non-traditional guy is out to do everything that has two legs and breasts. (No, not Teddy Kennedy, you sickos)
Yep. I think people need their space, especially in the courtship phase. Also, the whole idea of treating a living together situation as a 'test marriage' is silly to me: I think living with someone requires effort, and I think a lot of people aren't willing to put in the effort.
If they aren't serious about the effort, I doubt they will succeed at a mature long term relationship.
