Ah, I always love a good rebuttal! Thanks for amusing me as well.

1. Even if pregnancy is unplanned, it's a different level worry when you have a committed life partner and family structure already established. If pregnancy within marriage, can be stressful (as it certainly can be), imagine how much more stressful it is without that level of stability or security.

2. My question is - if one values sexual exclusivity enough to wait, why would they marry such a person in the first place? (And, do you seriously think a promiscuous person would marry someone who made them wait? I highly suspect not!)

3. This point has nothing to do with dumping anyone. Maybe you misunderstood.

4. Finding a sexual partner these days isn't hard - you don't have to commit to marriage just to get laid! So, yes, you can be 100% certain that if someone marries you without ever having sex with you, they aren't marrying you for your sexual benefit. If sex is what they wanted, they could have easily gotten it somewhere else.

5. I agree, sex does change after marriage and throughout marriage. This is exactly why point #3 is important. When you evaluate your partner with clear eyes, you are free to critically evaluate who you would be marrying and make the most informed decision possible.

6. The difference between sex and any other attribute is that sex is a far more intimate, unitive, and profound experience. Would you care if your boyfriend 'cooked burgers well' for another girl while dating you? Probably not. If we're going to make comparisons, let's at least compare apples to apples.

7. I know, that would be horrible! If even a spouse can still leave you, imagine how much easier and more whimsically a date could! No strings attached at all.

8. I agree, if your partner truly loves you for you, little details or capabilities shouldn't change that. Not sure what your argument is here.

9. I never said physical bonding is shallow. It's just something that can realistically be done with anybody. There are things much harder to find in a partner than your preferred set of genitals. More people should recognize this.

10. Yes, I am from the middle ages! How'd you know? My 513th birthday is right around the corner, thanks for asking!

At the end of the day, you are entitled to your own opinions and way of life, as I am entitled to mine. Thanks for taking the time to respond to this piece, though. Maybe I hit a nerve. ;)
