How many people that wait for sex until marriage have an orgasm before they even do anything intimate?

I don’t think they would climax before anything happened, just very soon into the intimacy.

Rarely. I’d assume the only reason someone would abstain from sex is because of religion, and I also assume that same religion would frown upon masturbation. So, no orgasms.

This is another example of the misogyny of religion. Men are sure to have an orgasm on the wedding night, but the chances of the female achieving orgasm is minimal. :(

@tinyfaery: My sister is abstaining from sex until she’s married and she is definitely not even close to being religious.

yes, it can happen.

Some religions frown on masturbation. That doesn’t mean that religious people don’t masturbate.

It also doesn’t mean that they haven’t been brought to climax by their partner, prior to marriage. I’d wager that most people who abstain till marriage still do a lot of other things that can bring about an orgasm.

Same idea, minus the marriage.

Of a couple my ex and I were friends with, the girl told us that the first time they had sex, the dude barely lasted until the actual sex began. The first time we had sex, it lasted like 45 minutes. So it’s possible, but I think it has a lot more to do with state of mind – particularly nervousness versus over-excitement – than inexperience.

Maybe if two people are determined not to do the Thing till the preacher says they can, they get good at provoking a lot of sensation by other means. Maybe that makes them skillful in ways that gun-jumpers never have to learn. Yum.

Something about this thread reminds me of the movie 40-Year-Old Virgin.
