At risk of sounding full of myself, I am going to speak candidly about my situation and hope I can get some feedback.

I am a 24 yo male. I have always been a pretty strong christian and I have also always had pretty good luck with the ladies. I am a sexual person and I have ample opportunities to exercise that. While I do "hook up" with decent regularity, I have (with great difficulty) restrained myself from ever going all the way with girls. I was raised to believe sex before marriage is a sin and that the ultimate gift I can give my wife is my virginity upon marrying her. The problem is, I can't find a single girl that I'm attracted to who is also waiting for marriage and friends who have not waited constantly tell me "sex is fun and not a big deal so just do it." In considering my motivation for not having sex, I am far more motivated by the wedding gift side than the sin side, messed up as that may be. I then find myself thinking if no future wife is waiting, why should I miss out on the fun when it isn't that big a deal. I feel like I am holding out for nothing.

Those who did not wait, do you wish you did? Those who did wait, are you glad you did?

Seeking proper motivation to continue.
