"Wait till your
birthday to unwrap your gift" may indeed be
da "proper" way of behaving, but there are several flaws with this "old
school" practice, such as:
(1) Very few people are gonna actually care nowadoys whether you and your significant other "learned
da ropes" before "tying
da knot"; in fact, you run
da risk of being eye-rollingly called a "
prude" if you do indeed delay "fillin' da bucket" until da official "milking
time".
(2) Da sex dat you experience before marriage is very often much more fun and satisfying than any intimacy you engage in after da wedding, when you'll likely have more cares and responsibilities to take up your
time and wear you out.
(3) You won't be able to know whether intercourse with your partner
will be comfortable or even significantly pleasurable till after you've committed, and therefore you might be stuck with miserable/infrequent "intimacy". If you'd "tried each other out" shortly after you'd originally met, however, you'd have discovered if you two weren't "compatible" in dat way, and thus you could each have gone to seek different partners whose personalities and/or physical attributes were more to your liking in da bedroom. It's just like buying a car --- would you sign da purchase-agreement without even taking said vehicle for a
test-drive first?!
