If you are happy to have sex before marriage, you won't marry just for sex. So the "marrying for sex" problem outlined by some people will be far more likely to happen to the people who go on about abstinence.

Degrading the viewpoints expressed by others will win you no arguments and gain you no respect, here or anywhere. What makes your post even worse is that your mindless scorn is directed at some of the most intelligent and respected members of these boards. Disagreeing is fine, but do so in the form of a cogent rebuttal, giving the statements of others the respect they deserve. Take careful heed of what I say, as no one will ever again say it to you in so polite a manner.

The sex & marriage issue is hypothetical with marriage so far off for many of us here and sex close at hand.
The point is rather does sex fit our present individual relationships or those that we dream of or not.
Is it not a little bit simple-minded to think that there is one answer applicable to all of us - not to mention our partners or even prospective partners?

Wisdom grows from trying to find structure in our experience - looking backwards in time - while living goes forward.
Theories are expectations that help us live forward - like possible ways to put the mosaic together. If they are worth the effort to remember, they should predict something and in case the prediction does not work out with time they should autodestruct.
And then there is something that we cannot test - something we have inherited in form of customs, attitudes, culture and the spirit of stories told and retold - that is like our individual SQUARE ONE.
This runs deeper than we can know.

I think a problem here is the difference between casual sex and premarital sex. Hopping into bed after a first date is a good way to ruin a potentially good relationship. Ignorance does not help anything.

Aside from religious and legal aspects, there is nothing special about the institution of marriage. If you get along with someone, know them, and fall in love with them, there's no reason why you shouldn't have sex before formalizing the match. It's not special the first time only if it has been sanctified by an institution.

—Alorael, who has seen couples fixate on marriage so much that they lose sight of each other. They get married and then realize that they just made a really bad choice. Points of no return, divorce aside, are not necessarily good.

I'm paraphrasing someone on another board whose name escapes me, but I get the impression she knows what she's talking about:
"Have lots of sex before marriage, so you know how to make your honeymoon really special."

Pay the price, you mean, or is that an expression I've never heard before? I don't understand what you mean by it, either way.

I'm pretty sure she means pay the price. I'm not certain, but I think the idea is that sex the first time can be distinctly unspecial for the woman.

I apologize for being rather blunt just in case you really don't know.

Next time you feel an emotional high get a knife and cut yourself deeply. Please don't stop to feel your emotional high. What's physical pain after all.

If I understand matters, and chances are I don't, the analogy would be kicking off your marriage by being punched in the cojones. And that sort of thing just isn't what you're in it for, unless you're being married by a sex dwarf, in which case knock yourself out with the virginal honeymoons and nutbusting.

At the end of the day, each to their own, to make their own choices and form their own viewpoints on how each and all should live their lives, a different interpretation from all, but all free to make their own choice.

Kirk: Analysis Mr. Spock?
Spock: Appears to be a variety of fruit Captain.
Kirk: Hmm... a thoroughly pointless string with little plot value. I'll just have to save this show by looking towards the stars, while looking pensive and maybe I'll fool people into thinking that the reason nothing is going on is that there's something wrong with their TVs.
Spock: A logically viable plan Captain, those "Trekkies" will believe anything.
Kirk: Quiet Bo-Bo.

To be specific, Arancaytar's picture appears to show a mango (just look at the properties of the image with yourright mouse button - it says http://www.solarfruit.com/images/mango.jpg). It may not be gigantic - as Arancaytar is soft spoken - but a mango it is.

Now did the real Mr. Kirk celebrate his innocence with relish?
The real Sherlock Holmes at least would have searched the archives about any special connotation that this fruit might have had on this board and he would have found (all emphasis is mine):

The people have a voice in locking topics. Let's hear it for popular moderation! For future reference, the yaoi really isn't necessary, though. A simple gigantic picture of a mango will get the message across quite nicely.

Aha!
So what is the message? Just look at the context.
The CONTEXT makes or breaks the meaning!
Take for example the previous message in the same threat "Where did that come from?":

Locking topics is easy, although saying so is a bit misleading. First you post some yaoi
(Yaoi is the Japanese word for slash or male-to-male relationships/sex. For those who are culturally deficit, ignorant or just plain clueless, this means GAY SEX!![yap]Ah no I understand: 'mango' is derived from the Tamil word 'mangkay' or 'man-gay'[yap})
with Shinji and Kaworu, then TM goes YAY, Alec goes AAAHH, DB starts purring and then Imban will also go AAAHH and lock the topic. Saunders will also lock the topic, but she makes comments about cuteness. Drakefyre shares his links to melon.cx before locking the topic. Dingy is a party pooper and just locks the topic... [Razz]
Alorael will surely make a witty comment before locking the topic.

In case Alec, TM or DB isn't available, do not worry. Khoth and TGM both might join the fun by posting pictures. Then there is also Thuryl, so no worries. You have plenty of people there ensuring the loxxor of the topic in question.

What could Mr. Kirk learn if he tried to do his homework instead of procrastinating and filibustering?

It is the context that makes the meaning.
