An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A Sister Trope to Celibate Hero, where the character (more often male than female) declares that they have no intention to just have sex for the sake of having sex. Either they're waiting for "The One", or they think they've found them, but the timing isn't right (that they want Their First Time to be special). A common thing in many religions, which declare that sex is a very special thing to save for after wedding. In fact, pre-marital sex used to be pretty much a taboo topic, but nowadays it seems to be an unquestionable standard. Examples of Let's Wait a While include:

  • A Sister Trope to Celibate Hero, where the character (more often male than female) declares that they have no intention to just have sex for the sake of having sex. Either they're waiting for "The One", or they think they've found them, but the timing isn't right (that they want Their First Time to be special). A common thing in many religions, which declare that sex is a very special thing to save for after wedding. In fact, pre-marital sex used to be pretty much a taboo topic, but nowadays it seems to be an unquestionable standard. If the character who wants to wait is male, it's usually to show him as a romantic or old-fashioned (often both), probably due to the belief that usually A Man Is Not a Virgin. If female, there's about the same chance it'll be because All Women Are Prudes. A frequent variant is an engaged couple deciding not to have sex again until after the wedding to make their wedding night "special". (Even though, y'know, they could have made it even more special by not having sex at all until the wedding...) Compare Good People Have Good Sex. Contrast Nature Abhors a Virgin, Everybody Has Lots of Sex. Occasionally paired with Insatiable Newlyweds to show that the couple weren't waiting out of prudishness.
