If you thought that Bridezillas we’re bats%&t crazy, just wait until you hear how the average engaged woman feels about doin’ it before she says “I do!” According to the New York Post, a whopping 53% of brides-to-be won’t have sex with their future spouse for at least a month before their wedding. Forty-two-percent said they have also put a stop to any hanky-panky. Seriously?! Ladies, it’s not like you’re going to get your hymen to grow back in time to wear the white dress. You’ve already tried his family jewels on for size. Why should you deny yourself passion during these highly romantic/stressful times? Give it up, turn it loose! No wonder brides are always so up tight about floral arrangements and grooms go nuts at their bachelor parties! Come to think of it, I guess now I know what the “something blue” refers to. [NY Post]

I’ve heard of women doing this so that the wedding night sex will be extra fun. I could understand holding out for a day or two before the wedding, but no more than a week! How else will I blow off all the steam of the wedding stress?
Dumb.
If you’ve already given it up, there’s no reason to hold back now!

high maitanence females… I hate them!! Bridezilla’s are the worst. yes, stress kills sex drives, but if you didn’t have to have a wedding that costs more money than you make in a lifetime, you’d be less stressed.
I happen to think that the Sex and The City movie actually teaches a great lesson. The wedding should be about the couple, and only the couple. Not just the bride.

I am a bride planning my wedding. I feel that I must add some points here. I feel that I am not a bridezilla, but I can sympathize with some reasons (both from observations of close friends who had this issue and my own impending ceremony) why sex may be last on the list while waiting to walk down the aisle.
I’m not sure if the motives of not having sex a month or two before the wedding have anything to do with wanting to be “virginal” on the wedding night. I think that you presume too much to be honest.
Have you planned a wedding? The experience in and of itself (especially if you are basically doing it by yourself like I am. My family is far away, and you can only do so much long distance)is a stressful period. It is joyful too, but definitely has its moments where you want to scream like a banshee.
If you are fortunate enough to have family helping you plan it usually means that they are a familiar presence in your house. It also might mean they could be staying with you.I can personally attest to having my mother in the same house as my fiance isn’t the best aphrodisiac. One more reason why finding time for nookie might be hard to do…
Also, as far as the health angle is concerned there are those women who were not on birth control before (two of my girlfriends did this) that are on it in the months up to the wedding. Doctors orders to build up effectiveness. She wanted to go without a condom on her wedding night but not worry about getting knocked up.
Sometimes women on BC have low libido. Add the stress of wedding planning, dealing with family and bunch of other issues and it is minefield of reasons why you would put nookie on the backburner. It certaintly has nothing to do with how virginal you want to be. Well for some girls, I admit, that might be part of it (wanting achieve a snug fit if you will). I can’t speak for all.
I understand that my fiance has needs (as do I heh). However, I can guaruntee that the month before the wedding he will probably be just as stressed as me. Who knows? The fun part will be the actual DAY but the planning is fun only half the time.
Also, another friend of mine had this experience that she was hot and heavy up until a month before her wedding. She managed to get a horrible yeast infection. She went to doctors and it was so bad that she was affected negatively through her wedding and months afterward.
Granted this is not a usual scenario, but as a bride you want to be in top condition when your man undresses you on that wedding night. It doesn’t matter if you’ve rode him more than a pony at a Kid’s birthday party—that night is special to you.
I have 6 months to my wedding, and I’m still rarin’ to go most of the time. However, there is no telling what my stress levels or whatnot will be a month beforehand.
I know that bridezillas give us a bad name, but most brides are not crazy. There is method to the madness.
I do agree that depriving your man (or yourself)of sex for months isn’t the best thing to do. However, I am told that as a newly wed most men are not able to sit straight or get enough fuel to keep up with their women. Your man may endure some discomfort in his loins before the wedding. I am sure that most brides reading this will attest to the fact that after the ceremony the man in question won’t be able to see straight. He’ll live!
Take heart brides and grooms—the one period of infrequent sex is not the end of the world. If anything it makes you appreciate your sex life more when you are at home by yourselves and you can christen every surface of your house if you so choose! Hah!
This article makes it sound like a crime to be human and not be a sex machine as a bride. I think that is on par with Bridezillas! Drama-llama, get real! Sex dry spells happen, and then vanish. Mercy!
