After a month of dating, things have been getting hot and heavy with your new man. But just before things take off, he always puts a stop to them. You’re not opposed to
waiting longer to have sex, but you can’t help notice how quick he is to move things away from that territory.

I guess hard times call for desperate measures? Italian supermodel and reality show star Raffella Fico, 20, is planning to

In Albania, gender equality has a literal meaning — and a less modern, more traditional translation that your 9 to 5 or Working Girl tropes. For centuries, sworn virginity has

My fiancé and I have been engaged for the past year and were together for a year before that. We were both 20 when we met, and within the first few weeks of our relationship my fiancé confided in me that he was a virgin and intended to be until he was married. He comes from a very religious and traditional family, and his values and morals are extremely important to him — one of the many reasons why I love him.

Growing up I never wanted to disappoint my parents — I still don’t! — but fortunately, my parents weren’t very strict and rarely had to guilt me into things like so many of my friends' parents did.

Dear Sugar,
I was with my ex-boyfriend for 11 months, and we had sex after six. I was a virgin at the time and didn't feel ready to have sex yet. He had told me that he was also a virgin, and we had numerous talks about how I believed premarital sex was wrong; his view was that if it was with the right person for the right reasons, it couldn't be wrong.

I just found out that a friend of mine has not had sex with her fiancé yet. If you're thinking that she's saving herself for marriage, you're wrong! Both she and her fiancé have done the deed, just not with each other — they are holding out in hopes of making their wedding night all the more special.
