While many people engage in pre-marital sex nowadays, there are still lots of people who remain virgins until their wedding night.
Reasons for abstinence are often due to religious reasons or cultural practices, but can also be because of personal preference or circumstance.
In a revealing Reddit thread, those who followed the âno sex before marriageâ rule are sharing their experience of their wedding night.
From awkward moments to *ahem* difficulties, one thingâs for sure they were certainly memorable experiences.
âWe finally lost the V-card 3 days after the wedding.
âOn our wedding night, he couldnât get the right angle to get in and had a premature detonation. I was too shy to help guide him in. He said âShit! Iâm so sorry!â and then we went to sleep. Repeat for a few days until finally BOOM! It hurt for a second and it was over another second later.â

âOur wedding night was awesome and hilarious. When we got to the hotel, I put on my brand new silk nightgown and he turned on the radio. We started getting used to the new freedom when âLetâs get Physicalâ by Olivia Newton John came on the radio. We felt it was a sign and just went for it. We were giggling so much.
We made love 3 times the first night and the same song came on during each session. It made it so memorable. It has been 35 years and that song still makes us laugh and run to the bedroom. The sex is still awesome.â
âIâd rate it a solid 10/10.
âNot because of the sex. Because it was NOT the best sex ever. Not even close.
âBut because I enjoyed figuring out this new and really really SURPRISINGLY complicated thing with my husband. And it was enjoyable and fun despite not having mind blowing orgasms.â
âIâm in the minority here, but it was honestly fantastic. We started out by always being honest about our expectations of sex, and what we wanted from it, both personally and for our relationship.
âMy best friend had also given me some tips on how to make sure I didnât go too early. Which was very helpful.â
âOur first night was a disaster.
âWe actually got walked in on by strangers while we were stripping in our hotel room because the hotel switched our room last minute and forgot to give the other couple a different key.
âIt took me quite a while to get it up. I wasnât particularly nervous, I think the little guy was just shy. She said later she didnât even notice.
âI spilled the entire bottle of lube in the middle of the bed.
âAlthough it was kind of a disaster we were able to laugh about it and we still had fun and look back fondly on the night.â
âIt wasnât as if we just had great sex immediately (I was painfully tight and also a bit fearful, and he couldnât last for very long) but that didnât really matter. We talked openly, and just spent time together and touched each other and enjoyed being together, and laughed a lot together (we played rock paper scissors for who would take their clothes off first!)
âSo honestly, the first night in terms of sex was pretty disappointing, but neither of us were disappointed because we werenât just looking forward to sex, we were looking forward to being married. And we were thrilled that we were finally married and got to live together!â
