(by the way, we live in different states.)
Okay, my friend and her bf have been datring since august. She is 16 and he is 23 I beleive. Lately,(masy 2 months) he has been talking about sex, a bit saying he is really sad she won't have sex with him, and even sadder she wants to wait till marrige, and at minium get married at 23. He wants to have her get married to him as soon as she can, at 18. So she is out today, I IM'd him to chat, and sex came up. I'll copy and paste:
Him:
"------does not want to do anything with me until we are married which she says will be in 11 years which essentially would make me a 34 year old virgin"
Me: Dude, are you serious? Is sex THAT important for you to have a relationship with her? It shouldn't be that big a deal that it becomes a problem for you. Dude, it's her choice, respect it. I know I shouldn't be poking my head in for this, but that statement seemed really odd. Who cares if your a 34 year old virgin dude, you have a wonderful girlfriend, shouldn't that be enough?
Him:(now he starts acting smarter.)
It may seem that way to you, but your probably just too young to understand. It's naive to claim that sex isn't a big deal in a relationship and that if you loved someone enough, you could 'just wait'.

Sexual attraction and 'chemisty' are what differentiates romantic relationships from friendships.

Good sex is important, it is connecting and actually makes chemicals come into your body that makes you feel a repore with that person, a chemical bond that produces hormones the we perceive as love.

No it should not be mistaken for love, and an emotional connection, good communication and other things that bond us to a significant other should always be present when we have sex, but sex is a natural, wonderful thing that makes us feel alive.
at any rate i really dont feel like going farther into this with you, its for me and her to deal with


I feel like he is just after sex with her, and making crap up to throw me off because I talk to her a lot on trying to keep her from giving in.
Is he really sincere, or is he just after sex? By the way, she is 17 in april, and he 24 in april.
 
I think he's pressuring her. Tell her to be strong or she will cave in. Guys and be very persuasive I agree with you totally on love and sex - you have the right idea and I feel the same. SEX Is NOT a big deal in a relationship. One needs sexual compatibility, but it should not be number one in a relationship. What matters more is what is on the inside. One day your friend and her bf will be too old and unable to have sex ... than what? They will have to talk and have a REAL relationship.
 
It is important, but it's not that important.
It's not as important as an emotional connection.

I feel that he just wants her for sex, as well, if he brang up 'marriage' after she told him she wouldn't have sex until she's married. If he had mentioned it before, I think he may be sincere.
By the way, isn't that illegal that she's under 18 and he isn't?
 
Well in my book trust and respect is important when your in a relationship. These are most important values as they build a good long term relationship. Sex comes after if a girl really means that much to him.

I think he just wants to have sex.
