I'm a single male myself. I'd rather delay sex until I'm married. Biology says to be promiscuous, by my mind, heart, and my faith tell me "wait until marriage". I've said this before, and I will say it again. There is what biology says, and then there is what our mind and heart says. We humans have the ability to tell biology to take a hike and use our brain and our heart.

Not so. Once you go down the path of marriage, most regret their decision later, especially if they do not really know the person they are or have married. Then along comes kids, thinking that will help the bad choice they made. Things just get worse, divorce runs rampant, the ones that really suffer are the kids.Its best to not get married until you know each other inside and out. Listen to one who knows, I was no better myself, all i wanted was to speed up the growth progress in business as well as socially. That marriage lasted 5 years, produced one child, created nothing good, now 50 years later, my only regret.....sad.

Actually biology tells us to be both promiscuous and monogamous, because people ARE both (not all the smae people and not all the same time but we have both patterns). But monogamy, or at least serial monogamy, predominates--we are nowhere near as promiscuous as bonobos, and people in monogamous relationships tend to be happier and more stable. Compared to bonobos sexual behavior (and feel free to google the details, they're really something) we are chaste.

Usually after 30 when they lose the looks they had before. Also women are attracted to confident men, men who bang alot of chicks usually don't have insecurities.

Women like good guys usually when they have not many options anymore.

No offense intended but since you are married you are kind of outside of the realm of this discussion. Once you are married and have regular sex you can't even fathom why people do the things they do to get a sexual release. Its kind of like you go shopping on an empty stomach and buy much more than you should, which you only understand once you get home and satisfy your hunger

You should not assume that just because someone is married means they are having regular sex. More likely, yes, but there would not be such a market for Viagra and Cialis if there were not issues there for anyone.

Also, there was nothing in "the realm of this discussion" that implied that it applied to singles only. Sociobiology does not apply to single people only.
