I'm sure this has been covered before. I'm wondering, though, how many who got married as a Jehovah's Witness actually waited for their wedding day?
Thanks. It's for a "good cause," namely my peace of mind.
For Those That Married JW, Did You Have Sex Before Your Wedding?

Who are you?
I was never a JW, but I married a JW in a KH back in 1979. Though we had a strictly platonic relationship for the three years that she lived under her parents roof, when we met up after a year apart in a new city under different circumstances, we got to know each other in a carnal manner. After having what seemed like non-stop sex for 6 months, we figured we might as well get married. Out of respect for her JW parents, still to this day, we never admitted to pre-marital humping. You know "spare the truth save the parents". My brother on the other hand who became a JW, was a virgin on his wedding night.
edited to add...our marriage is still in tact, my brothers ended about 7 years ago. Go figure.

We didn't have actual intercourse until our wedding night. However, back in 1963 the standards were different. Fornication was defined as sexual intercourse, so anything less than that was not fornication and therefore not a disfellowshipping offense. According to today's standards, we did a lot of fornicating.

Yes. Once the wedding date was set, I cut it down to a weekly basis. It didn't matter to me that I'd already given birth to our daughter and we had been together for 4 years at that point. He was never jw. I felt guilty as hell for not abstaining. [Now, I don't. There, ggbg & crumpet's threads are connected!]

I certainly did have sex with my man before we married but by then I didn't consider myself to be a JW anymore! I also knew a couple of JW youngsters who were definitely fornicating, god weren't we a hypocritical bunch!

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the squirts when they hear the word "fornicating"?

Stealth, define ''squirts''
Tummy cramps, light headedness, 2 hours in the bathroom wishing you were dead.
I find the term to be such a watchtowerism.
