One of my sister's friends tried that "I won't have sex until I'm married line" around my mom (or maybe Jenn reported it to her, I'm not sure) and my mom laughed in her face.

And, if you're curious, her everlasting advice goes as follows: Sex. Is. Not. Love. You can have love without sex, you can have sex without love. Too many stupid people get themselves into bad, or abusive, or just plain boring relationships because of "well, we had sex, but it's all right because we're in love, so now we have to stay togetha 4eva!!!!" and it's wrong.

(Everything after the first four words is an elaboration by me)

Well, I certainly wouldn't. But I was thinking of internal pressure, not external. That each partner would feel far more performance pressure and on a day when they have more stress and less energy than usual. And that just seems a bad combination.
