xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday October 14 2004, 3:37 pm: Ya know, I've always wondered that about my parents. My parents got married when they were younger though but you'd wonder now since you see 13 and 14 year old girls getting pregnant, did my parents ever have sex with anyone before they were married or before they met? It's a question I'm sure is on alot of people's minds. But it never hurts to ask. Say, Mom, I was wondering, but before you had met dad, were you a virgin? I'm sure she'll give you a funny look and then she might tell you a story about some guy she met at a concert named Frank and how they were drunk and they had sex. Well not really, but you could end up getting a story. It never hurts to ask. Hope this helped. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
S_C answered Thursday October 14 2004, 3:15 pm: most likely they weren't virgins. I mean, back when they were growing up, like 60's and 70s (I'm guessing.) Well lets just say, have you ever seen Austin Powers? If not then never mind, but back in those days, people slept with anybody they could get their hands on. So most likely they weren't. Unless of course, you live somewhere, where that would be totally unacceptable.
I've wondered that about my father, a looooong time ago. I know my mother has, because she was with another man, and she had a child, before she was with my father. So it's normal to think that, atleast to a certain point. [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
K3587 answered Thursday October 14 2004, 2:11 pm: There was a thing called "The 1970's". There's a pretty big chance neither of them were virgins after that.
Seriously though, it's ok to wonder. My sister is 24, but is really, really picky about guys, so I wonder if she ever had sex too. (And if she did, I do not want details or mental pictures, kthx)
chaos answered Thursday October 14 2004, 1:49 pm: Maybe you should wait until you are older to ask them. My mom started telling me way too much about her love life when I turned twenty or so.
It isn't strange to wonder. It also isn't unheard of to be a virgin. My best friend died a virgin at 26. My boyfriend is still a virgin at 37. I wish I were still a virgin (32) because I didn't get a choice. When my father found out I wasn't a virgin anymore, then he told me they both were when they got married. They were 19 though (and divorced after 3o years). [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
AnGeLtHuGsTa answered Thursday October 14 2004, 1:40 pm: It's not strange, your just curious and that's okay. But I guess it's something you'll never know until you ask! Just don't be obvious about it. Start up a conversation with your mom, and slowly head to that topic...Hope it works! [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]

pinklemonadestand answered Thursday October 14 2004, 12:10 pm: No this isn't weird to wonder..... my mom and dad were not before they got married.... so it is normal to wonder about that about your parents!
PinoyBoi answered Thursday October 14 2004, 11:16 am: no its not strange to think that....just ask..i mean if your parents are all about being private about it then keep it as that but go ahead try it and if they are as open as you then you will find that just asking will be easier then before
Laura answered Thursday October 14 2004, 10:04 am: Uh, why do you want to know? I don't want to know a thing about my parent's sex life. *shudder* But I don't know, I doubt they were. Even religious people have trouble keeping the zippers zipped. I know a guy at church whose parents conceived him and then got married a month or so afterwards, so really it doesn't matter what type of people they are, they still might not be. But if you really want to know, take the age of your oldest sibling. Now subtract that from your parent's age. How old were they when they had that child? If it's really close, like 40, then go back nine months from their birthdate, which will give you like yeah, the approximate date they were conceived. But again, why would you want to do that? I have way too much time on my hands.
EnchantedSage answered Wednesday October 13 2004, 11:25 pm: Not to be rude, but I really don't think it's any of your business. Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, but our parents are actually people. They were teenagers once and dated people, fell in love, probably had their hearts broken a few times and eventually found each other and started a life together. A life that eventually led to you. If your parents were in their late thirties when they married, chances are they both had relationships prior to each other. Those relationships may or may not have been sexual, but it is quite possible (even likely).
In today's world, I think it's more important to be thankful for having two loving parents who are still together, than whether or not they were "pure" when they married. I understand your curiosity, but I really don't think it's important in the grand scheme of things.
If it is something that is really bothering you, you could ask your Mom if she'd be willing to talk about it with you; however, if it's simply something you wonder about, then I would save that conversation with her for a time many years from now when you are married yourself and have your own children. Best of luck to you.
lorelei answered Wednesday October 13 2004, 11:12 pm: I don't think there's anything wrong with asking them. It's a pretty valid question. They're your parents and part of their job as such is to discuss these things with you.
Especially since it almost seems as though you question the practice of "no sex before marriage". Trust me, parents usually eat up questions like this. So just get one of them (or both of them) alone and just ask!
