Virgin, 19, doesn't believe you have to "try the car before you buy it"

[matcom]

<snip>

Joshua Sazdanoff, 19, has never had sex.

And he doesn't plan to until his wedding night.

Sazdanoff, a kinesiology sophomore, says at age 13 he became a born-again Christian and set the Bible as his truth. According to his beliefs, he mist "keep the marriage bed pure," which means waiting until marriage to have sex.

He attended a Christian school and says he dated Christian girls with similar beliefs about sexual purity. They would set boundaries like avoiding spending time alone at his girlfriend's houses.

Though he says his commitment of abstinence until marriage stems from his spiritual beliefs, he thinks there are benefits even for those who don't hold the same beliefs.

"Even from a non-Christian perspective, waiting makes more special," says Sanzdanoff.

"Plus, you don't have to worry about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases."

1. They should make a reality show about this guy...

Where they trick him into marrying a transexual prostitute with herpes.

[matcom]

2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

that would be the FIRST reality show i would ever watch! :D

[LightTheMatch]

3. what a dumbass.... n/t

[underpants]

4. At age 13 what exactly could you have done to need to be "born again"?

Yikes.

[guitar man]

5. masturbated, perhaps?

[matcom]

11. yup. he spilled his demonseed and got caught by momma

the evil spunk spilled from his loins and died a slow death in his navel. mommajesus walked in and after she came to. beat that creamy lifeforce back into little Jimmy.

once his wounds healed and he read the King James Bible, he was forever saved

[guitar man]

22. lol

In all seriousness, he didn't have to do anything wrong to think he needed to be "saved". He was told he was born fucked up so he needed Jeebus to come save him. A screwed up way of life if you ask me.

[kitkatrose]

6. Uhhhh...

"Even from a non-Christian perspective, waiting makes more special," says Sanzdanoff.

Or it makes it a complete disaster because your mate sucks in bed? Or you have zero experience in what pleases you (I assume masturbating is out of the question for born-agains)?

And I thought I had to wait until Monday for MatcomNews. :) :hug: Hope you're doing okay.

13. Most of those guys own sheep and cows!

The Haves and The Have Mores!

30. He won't know

He's gonna be one frustrated motherfucker in a couple of years

[WildClarySage]

7. I'm sorry, but your wedding night

is not the time to discover that the woman you just married has a tattoo below her navel with an arrow pointing down and "Abandon Hope All Who Enter Here" written above it.

[THUNDER HANDS]

8. there's nothing wrong with that

its his choice. Hopefully he'll find a nice girl and be happy with her. If not, he learned a valuable lesson.

[Bridget Burke]

9. There he is, flaunting his sexuality.....

I don't care what he does or does not do in private. Just wish he wouldn't advertise it.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. DINGDINGDINGDING we have a winnah! (nt)

[Hubert Flottz]

10. I'm too damned old for that shit!

What if the brakes don't work on the damned thang, or it overheats?

[name not needed]

12. Why would you join that um, cult?

There's a reason I left when I was 11.

[greyfox]

15. Good for him

proves that even some of us Democrats have values! Nuttin wtong wid dat!

[hyphenate]

16. Oh, how sweet and innocent

He's going to be a virgin til he dies living with that attitude!

[hyphenate]

17. Hey

at least now we know the origin of the word, whackjob, eh?

[DS1]

18. Give it up for lame wedding night sex!!

WOOOOO :bounce:

[underpants]

19. This one time....at Bible camp

:bounce:

[matcom]

20. C'mon guys!

its gonna be the best 12 seconds of her LIFE!

[underpants]

21. Wait until he wants to "spill his seed in the sand"

I remember hearing that passage in Sunday school (didn't take) and everyone giggling because we knew what it meant.

[kick-ass-bob]

23. "I had been drinking a little bit,"

Craig says as a teenager she made a commitment to remain abstinent until marriage. She says she broke the commitment just a few months ago and regrets it.


Isn't that how it always starts???
:7

[matcom]

25. "I'm sinning, and I'm not happy,"

"I'm sinning, and I'm not happy," says Craig of her continued affairs with her friend.

But I am ALWAYS happy sinning! :7

[GumboYaYa]

24. So instead of just F$%^ing, he is probably killing frogs or

shooting kittens or some other messed up stuff to satisfy his raging hormones. These peolpe are twisted.

[Red State Rebel]

26. Reality check guys......

As a female, I can tell you honestly, I have NEVER met a woman who wishes she had lost her virginity earlier than she did. There may be some women on her that prove me wrong, but a group of my friends and I had that discussion one night and every single one of us wished we had waited longer.

I'm going to put this question to everyone in a poll and lets see how it comes out.....

[Bertha Venation]

27. His reason isn't mine, but I agree with Joshua.

I believe in total commitment and monogamy. I believe in "'til death do us part."*

Sex has as much to do with marriage as a balk has to do with a season of baseball. Think about that.

If you're committed for life, you're going to make the sex work or you're going to accept that it will always be mediocre or you're going to live without it. Simple as that.

JMHO; YMMV.

* Unless of course you're getting the shit kicked out of you or he's got you in four million dollars debt and he's unemployed or . . . .

[amazona]

28. what's so special...

...about some poor woman ending up with a man with a nonexistent sex drive? Yikes. If he's got this tiny of a libido at 19, then I shudder to think how capable he will be of pleasing a wife at 40.

If he does have even a hint of normal male blood in him, one day he is going to look back and be very sorry that he wasted his youth, cuz you don't get it back.

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. Look, to each his own

Lay off the kid. There is no competition to lose one's virginity earlier--or later.

[yellowcanine]

31. Fine but the truth is that born again Christians have the same rate of

premarital sex and extramarital sex as well as divorce as the general population. They just don't talk about it as much.

[Carson]

32. I see nothing wrong with this guy's decision...

and even applaud him for his abstinence until marriage. Perhaps we'll have one less pregnant teen, STD, or abortion.

I'm sure it's a tough choice, but still an admirable one.

[Kathleen04]

34. I agree

I can't believe the majority of the people in this thread are deriding this guy. What happened to leaving what people do in their bedrooms as their own business? x(

[lumberingbear]

33. Poor kid will probably.....

get hit by a truck and die the day before his wedding.

So sad to miss the best years of his sex life!!!

[the Princess]

35. Well it is his decision - BUT

A good sex life is important to a good marriage. And knowing if you are sexually compatable is important - IMHO.

[WoodrowFan]

36. in the meantime

the monkey is being spanked so hard it's turning purple.
