Perhaps I am reading too much into this, but I am curious. Would love some thoughts and insight into this, especially from a female perspective.

My girlfriend and I are 31. Been dating for 6 months now (since November of 2021). Things are getting serious between us. Met her family (including extended family) and she has met mine. I am now pretty close with her side of the family and she is close with mine. Met each other's friends as well. We both desire marriage. Things are great... but she says she wants to wait until marriage to have sex. No problem.

Personally, I have never been big on rushing sex, nor do I have many sex partners. However, I was a little bothered by what she told me. Here's why.

When talking about sex, my girlfriend told me that in April 2021, she had a friends with benefits. She knew the friends with benefits for a year and a half. She told me that the guy wasn't her type. She said he was a "muscular dummy" and the only thing remotely interesting about him was his body. She only wanted to use him for sex, wanted to explore his body and never saw anything serious with him. She told me that she would have sex with him once a month when she needed a release and only went back to him continuously to keep her body count low and so she isn't spreading herself around other men.

I'm just trying to figure out her logic. She was fine with having sex last year with this guy... but wants to wait until marriage now and do things the "correct way."
