Oh boy, I hesitate to come into this thread so late, but my fiancee and I decided not to have sex for an entire 4 months before the wedding. (which is coming up in a couple of weeks)

Judging from previous comments some will see this as shocking, hypocritical, against nature, etc…

Perhaps my sex drive isn’t quite as, uh, demanding as some peoples. I think it will make post-marital sex a little more meaningful and anticipation can be a good thing in and of itself.  
We are also planning on trying to have children right away and this prevented any pre-wedding oopsies.  
Obviously we had agreement between the two of us beforehand.

**Folly** , the key point is that you decided it together. The problem many of us were having with the OP was that we read it as a unilateral move.
