The phrase "premarital sex" is stupid

[taterguy]

Aren't there a lot of people who have sex that never get married?

[Squeech]

1. Yup

Given that it's so comparatively uncommon, not to mention troublesome, maybe we should start using the phrase "presexual marriage."

2. I assumed that "premarital sex"

pertained to having sex with the person you are going to marry...

3. What about those of us who have already been married but aren't anymore?

Am I having premarital sex again?
Is, say, a post-divorce one-night-stand (with someone you'll never see again) still premarital sex?

[Wcross]

4. That's the only kind of sex I will ever have.

Marriage doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't care for children all that much so there is no compelling reason to form a legally binding contract with a woman. I feel I am much better off on my own.

5. I like to think of it as a test drive

Would you ever buy a car without driving it first? No they won't let you.
Don't you try on shoes before you buy them as well? You need to try something on before you buy it- wives included.


Plus, I'm divorced, so can I only have post-marital sex?
Does it count as marital sex if one of the people is married- albeit to someone else?

6. I think "nonmarital sex" makes a lot more sense

It covers just about all the bases

[itsmesgd]

7. is that the same as "marital non-sex"?

[av8rdave]

8. I don't think so. The number for THAT, however, would be truly staggering if a poll were taken

9. 98% Easy!

I've been married almost 27 years. I'm an expert on this subject.

10. Agreed, they should call it what is really is...

a test drive.
:rofl:

11. Test drive means there's a possibility of buying ...

There's also the "joy ride", "long term lease", "daily rental".
