CMV: I don't see any benefits in waiting for sex until marriage.

I think it is good to know how compatible you are before you get married, I'm not saying you should have sex on the very first date lol, but if you have a serious relationship on some point you have to have sex in order to know if it will "work". I do think that many "religious" couples marry because the urge of having sex (which is bad) and will end in a bad marriage. It's also common that people put sex on the center of the relationship and I also think that it is bad but I don't want to focus on that right now.

**Edit**: I misunderstood one article that someone post here, lol, thanks for the explanation I get my mind changed.

I think abstinence is incompatible with our modern society, however, like most religious rules, it has its roots in a different time and culture.

Until recently (last few hundred years) infant mortality and death during childbirth was very high, there was very little contraception resulting in more pregnancies, and at many times, children were seen as more of a hindrance than anything; because the majority of people are poor and a child is just another mouth to feed until they are old enough to work.

I would argue that these all still have merit, except for death during childbirth. Most people still can't really afford kids and contraception still isn't easy to access for many people. However, since our urge to reproduce isn't a logical thing, logical arguments against having kids don't always work. Appealing to faith is a method of giving (historically speaking) uneducated people a reason to adhere to these practices.
