Sex Is Worth Waiting For - Nikki Laoye

Nikki Laoye, an award winning Nigerian gospel singer, has revealed in a recent interview that both she and her husband got married as virgins. She said that contrary to popular belief that virgins have boring marriages and are clueless when it comes to making love, she said she knew what she was doing the first time they had sex because she had learnt a lot about sex education. She said:

“My husband was not surprised that I was a virgin when we got married because he was also a virgin. Even though I was a virgin when I got married, I had equipped myself with information on sex education. I preach to Christian ladies that they should not think that because they are virgins, they should not find out how to get things done because when they get there, they have work to do. It has been fun and an adventure for us because we are finding out things about ourselves.”

I'm Born Again But Can't Stay Away From Sex - What To Do?

Many young unmarried people find that abstinence can be very difficult, especially if they are dating while looking actively for ThE ONE.

Jill Duggar and New Husband Derick Dillard Kiss For the First Time at Their Wedding

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard's wedding was the start of the couple's life as husband and wife, and also the first time they ever shared a kiss. The 23 year old daughter of the "19 Kids and Counting" TV family decided to wait for marriage before ever kissing her sweetheart in keeping with her family's courtship rules.

While they were courting, the couple had never done more than hold hands, which they did only after they got engaged back in April. Jill explained to ABC earlier this year;

"We're just really trying to keep our relationship focused not on the physical but really just more on communication and continuing to learn more about each other. We're saving our first kiss and things beyond that for our wedding." 

Are Football Players Allowed To Have Sex While at the World Cup? See Country List

Every World Cup coach has his own methods for trying to improve the success of his team. Some coaches have imposed rules on their players not only covering their training regimen and on-field tactics, but also on their after-hours activities.

While researchers have found that sex is no physical detriment to athletic performance, some coaches are unconvinced. The chart above shows where the individual country teams come down on their players’ bedroom activities during the World Cup.

Some teams have explicit policies about player sex that they’ve shared publicly, and Quartz has done a post collecting all the available information. As you can see from the chart above, Nigeria falls under, "It's complicated"

Are Men Willing to Wait till Marriage?

A lot of the posts I have shared on this blog on celibacy and abstinence, both for personal or religious reasons, have been mostly focused on women. Someone sent me a Dear Myne post, asking how to find true love as she is celibate. Another sent in a comment that some men who will accept to abstain from sex with their women are often not interesting.

The articles I have written on this issue are more middle of the road, taking both genders into account, either as singles, or as people in a relationship.

One question that hasn't been really tackled here, and which I found while looking through the search phrases for my blog is the title of this post. Are men willing to wait till marriage? I know for certain that some men are, the question for the ladies may be, where are they and are they enough?

Remaining Celibate - For Young Singles and Couples

This is one of the hot button topics for young people who either want to reach full potential in their study or career without sexual distraction, or who want to stick to their moral or religious ethics on the issue of pre-marital sex. In cases like in this post, when the reasons for celibacy are personal and well understood by the individual to benefit them, I am all for supporting and assisting to maintain that decision.
