For a number of reasons:

1. The Bible doesn't allow sex before marriage.

2. Some people don't believe in Birth Control, and they're afraid of unwanted pregnancy and STDs.

3. Some African and Asian countries practice circumcision on women to prevent them from having premarital sex.

*4. Sex is a responsibility, and some people choose to wait to stay out of trouble - I did.*

5. Many people are threatened by their families with being severely punished or even being disowned for having sex.

6. Some people believe in "sticking with their own kind of people."

7. There's nothing wrong with waiting until you're 100% sure you know the other person, and that you're ready yourself.
