What I had in mind was: "lock them family jewels in", many evil women around, G-d Forbid.
It's like good wine "not before time"!
The problem is; what a waste, it may turn into vinegar!
ROTFL
Well, not much vinegar around these days! But one thing I do know, hanging on to virginity as long as one can makes for an interesting fact. The pursuer has to be dedicated, strong and unrelenting, and usually , but not always,that means love is there.
So the fact is that the rule of no sex before marriage actually helps one find an appropriate mate. And even if sex happens before marriage, then there is usually still love, strength, appreciation and undertanding which can come from any resistance.
I was not much of a hold out, but then I consider myself very lucky in that respect in how things did turn out.
