Are my morals making me miss out?

[cboy]

I was raised to believe in abstinence. I was told time and time again that sex was for after marriage. However, everywhere I go, I hear people talking about getting laid. I know some of them are probably speaking with a forked tongue, but I don't think they all are. And I also hear some of my co-workers talking about how much of a pain in the ass marriage is and how sex kind of goes on the back burner after the first few years.

Am I in the right here, or am I just being a stick in the mud? I feel like I'm missing out on a good thing and I really don't want to go through life without doing "it" at least once.
