Interesting, marriage these days is all about sex, but if you believe that you won't fit in. Odd state of affairs, that.

If you don't see the value in it, so be it. Not everyone has a strong sex-drive. You need to realise though that you may well think that because of religious indoctrination; secretly you could be doing yourself serious psychological harm by not expressing your sexuality. Quote:The function of it is to bear children, and so many people don't have the child bearing part of it in mind.Mainly untrue. The reason why condoms exist is because people are very aware that sex can result in children! Quote:It's just gross, selfish self fulfillment, no appreciation for the creative act. The attitude, even toward sex within marriage these days, is one of having their cake and eating it too.Nope, for those who seek it, it's to have a deeper, physical and emotional intimacy with the person they love. Good sex enhances relationships. Quote:Why is it, even in society that the essential baby-making part of sex is downplayed to the hedonistic side of it (even within "sacred' marriages?)I'd suggest that's not true. Instead you're falling for a misrepresentation, created by those who have a vested interest in making good sex seem bad/dirty/sinful for their own gain.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Depends where you live.
Even some states in America still allow girls as young as thirteen to marry. I am personally of the concept that biological readiness is a sign of sexual readiness, but perhaps not mental preparedness.
