Hello Wedding Wire!

Would anyone out there who decided to take a sex break for a month or more before their wedding be willing to let me interview them?

I am a student at Northwestern writing an article on couples who choose to take a break from sex before their wedding night.

Thank you so much for your help!

    I honestly don't see the point In taking a break if you've already had sex.but to each their own.I've been celibate for almost a year and a half but it's not by choice.

    @Koch - I just died a little at Mr. Vibrato - bahhh hahahahaha! Well said!

    We on the other hand chose to wait for our wedding day for spiritual reasons and it was the best choice for us - although not for everyone! The build-up to anticipating the wedding night didn't put pressure on us at all (like many argue) for a perfect experience, rather to completely allow each other to experience the moment together fully as husband and wife.

    Just my two cents...

    @songbird -

    That sounds really interesting! I would love to hear about your experience in your marriage prep session if you're available to speak with me.

    Please shoot me a message if you would be comfortable with me interviewing you for my article.

    Lol, we didn't do an official sex break, but we ended up taking a week off because we were so busy. It was still fun and exciting when we realized that it's been a week since the last time we did it. We usually do it everyday, so a week was a long time... I know TMI

    Not officially, or purposely, but we're 9 days out and we haven't had the time or energy to get it on for the last couple of weeks. Haha. So we may end up doing just that... On accident! But, the 17 month thing is outrageous. No way.

    We did long distance for 15 months, so I totally get the allure of it. We will probably end up doing something of the sort, but not because we planned it. He is going on a week long trip 3 weeks before the wedding and the day he flies back, I drive to CT until the wedding. He will meet me up there 3 days before, but I have a feeling we will be too busy to do anything (that and the fact we will be at his parents house)

    @ Nicole We stayed at my parent's house up until the night before and it didn't stop us from getting it on until 2 days before the wedding.

    For both of us sex is a great stress reliever, so why would we deny ourselves that during some of the most stressful days of our lives? I just don't understand people who cut themselves off, more so people who have children together. Hello?? People already know you've had sex before marriage, so why 'pretend'?

    My FH would kill me, we wouldn't lat a week. We are very weak minded when it comes to the sexy stuff.

    So far, I've taken a 2-day break. Does that count? lol!

    Hey, Monday was a day-off and today is Wild Wednesday hahahaha!!

    My grandmother who's lost my grandpa and her husband last year once told me to spend as much time as I can hugging and kissing my husband. I'm going to follow her advice :-)

    I dont see The Point if youre already having Sex? I dont see how Sex wouldnt be special in youre wedding day. Break or not. I love And appreciate my FH, and Show him through Sex, why would i stop showing him i care... Right before we make a committment to be together forever. Seems counter productive!

    We won't be taking a break. We don't get to do it often anyway though due to being busy, living apart, etc. So based on that, we'd maybe be taking a break for 3 weeks max, but that's not going to be on purpose. I can see both sides to this - I can see why people would want to take a break (to make their wedding night more special, and/or spiritual reasons, etc.), and I can see why people wouldn't want to take a break (because in a way, what's the point if you've already been having sex, right? And sex is a good stress reliever and your wedding will be stressful as it is, so you don't want to be even more stressed the day of lol). I was actually waiting until marriage to EVER do it... until I met and was dating FH. Then I changed my mind lol.

    17 Months definitely gives "till death do you part" a whole new perspective. I admire you for being chaste. I am only 45 days away and I think I am in a PMS stupor. I might hurt my husband on our wedding night. Good luck Kimberly! I hope your cutting him off does not mean you will be using a knife in a few months.
