Do you think those things are impossible if you have sex before marriage?

I don't even want one wife; more than one sounds like an uncontrollable hassle. If I want to have sex with multiple women, I won't get married.
Indeed! Even just one partner is exhausting. Two or more and what time have you left for yourself?

Emotional scars are good for the soul.
men cannot get pregnant.
ever heard of condoms?
agreed, only those with low self esteem avoid sex.
losers and dorks you mean, no thanks.
sexual frustration is no kind of peace.
Pleeeeeeeeeese, that's such nonsense.

i think it depends
For a worshiper of God, someone who knows Gods laws and strives to live by them, then no. I dont those things are possible.
but for someone who isn't concerned with what God thinks, then sure i guess. But that doesnt mean that it will be smooth sailing.

You can't have a relationship and NOT have sex??? :areyoucra
Pre-marital sex does not automatically equal pregnant teen
Again, you can't have a boyfriend without sleeping with him? Have you no control?
Covered this in a different post, Go look.
Are you saying that those who have sex outside of marriage don't have these things?
So far, this seems to be the one and only reason that stands for you...your personal religious belief. The rest don't hold water.
How would you rank that compared to the advantages, if any, of having sex before marriage?

Are you saying everyone -- or at least, every culture -- thinks it's honorable to avoid sex before marriage? If so, how do you account for, say, the traditional Japanese custom of having one or two lovers before marriage?

She'd still always have to be there... I get fed up quickly. My last long-term relationship was in high school.

Is the "honorable" thing to do to judge someone else's relationship and the depth of it and the decisions made within it among the two involved?

Depends. If you're a member of a particular population group that is trying to uphold what they believe and feel is "honorable", then yes, judging is in fact THE honorable thing to do, to ensure that such honorable standards are maintained. Absolutely.

I was implying more or less the historical example, the trend has been broken in recent times as societies have liberalized. This Japanese custom I'd have to see how recent it is, because I've also encountered references to Japanese insistence on female purity especially during the Samurai period. My guess is that it's only been this way since the Meiji period, but I'd like to find more on it. And I'd like to see more examples, because this custom prevails from Africa to even various Aboriginals, the debauhced, Bacchus-loving Romans and Greeks even had a widespread respect for such "honor" of the female (though for the Romans the honor was mainly reserved for the noble class, which still says something). It's pretty much universal from India to Indians.

Honor is so overrated... I would much rather have fun
