Married Sex vs. Dating Sex

Most people would tend to agree that sex while dating is way different than sex while married. I'm sure we've all heard jokes about married sex that makes it seem less than appealing or like it's a rare commodity, but in my personal opinion I would have to disagree.

Married sex is SO much better than dating sex.

There, I've said it. The cat's out of the bag. Believe it or not, I enjoy sex being married more than sex before marriage. Unfortunately, I made mistakes in the past and that is where my prior experience comes from. I will say, however, that my husband and I waited until marriage to have sex with one another and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Dating sex is all about passion, romance, and not getting caught. It's about what feels good right now and not waiting for the reward. It's about lust, not love. Sure, it's fun and can make you feel closer to the person because it's intimate, but it just doesn't have the same sense of fulfillment as married sex.

Married sex, on the other hand, is about love, respect, and commitment. It's about waiting until the right time and developing a deeper relationship with that person and knowing who you are and who they are in return. It's about trust and knowing that no matter what they are going to be there for you and stick around. And because that is the foundation, married sex is amazing!

Sex after marriage opens up a whole new window of possibilities. You don't have to worry about what to do if you get pregnant and you don't have to worry about any STD/STIs. Because you both love and respect one another, sex is much more fulfilling on a deeper level. The emotional and physical bond that is shared far outweighs the fleeting feelings of passion with dating sex.

Married sex isn't and doesn't have to be boring at all! I'm not saying that it's not passionate, but the "thrill" of getting caught plays into dating sex. Married sex is way more comfortable and you don't have to run off to find a place to have sex every time and hope that you don't get into trouble. Married sex opens both of you up and allows for better communication and intimacy.

Even though sex while dating can be fun, it's a cheap thrill and does not even compare to the fulfillment I've found with my husband. Married sex has so many benefits and can really strengthen your relationship.
