So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better....

That's not necessarily correct.

There is quite a bit of argument/debate on what exactly the earliest christian's views on sex, sexuality, gender role and marriage were.

For example, were the earliest christian anti-sex or anti-institutions, including the institution of marriage?

That said, some early Christian (but early as in after 100 A.D., but before the 4th century Nicean Counsel) writers and leaders were anti sex. Interestingly enough, though these people agreed sex was wrong, they usually didn't agree on exactly why. Also, I'm not sure it's remotely accurate to say they were ever the majority view. That strain of though continued even after Nicea to some degree.

All of which is different than what is arguably a much clear position of Paul, which is that unrestrained sexual indulgence was a dangerous and corrupting enterprise.

In that regard, Paul was indeed correct as unrestrained sexual indulgence is absolutely dangerous and corrupting to the soul.

To the OP - I'm not sure I would base any of that on Christianity; instead, I would ask myself what would Christ think about marriage and sexual relations as a whole.

Without going into too much detail, I'm pretty certain he wouldn't point women in the direction of social-media to seek sexual validation and fuck as many men as possible before marriage (or anything similar throughout history). He'd probably warn men to seek refuge from these women knowing the source of the corruption and the separation that would surely follow should a man seek and marry any woman that practiced those ways.

Satan, if anything, has corrupted women from the beginning of time - to separate man from God, men from each other and men from women. Clearly the plan is working.

There are many errors in your reply.

"He asked a question about Christianity (sic) views on sex." No, he asked whether Christianity was founded on abstinence. Of course, that raises the preliminary questions of what constitutes "Christianity" and "Founding" so that we can then more accurately identify who the Christians were and when they were and what they believed.

Of course, your basing your whole position on the "no true Scottsman" fallacy--if they don't believe what you believe then they aren't Christians, which easily allows you to discard anything not meeting your pre-conceived notions. If they do believe in the Bible, but they don't believe it says what you believe it says, will you still credit that they believe in the Bible, even if their understanding is wrong? Can they be wholly wrong and still be Christian as long as the source of their error is faithful adherence to an incorrect biblical understanding?

FYI--there is virtually no popular understanding of Christianity being adhered to today, that wouldn't almost have been considered a heresy by Christians in the first 150 years after Christ.

So sick of people preaching this "sex is gift from God" thing.

I got an especially distorted view having both this and the secularists preaching how great and amazing sex is. It's not. Period. What can be great is the intimacy you share with another person that is expressed physically through, sex, hand holding, kissing and sharing a meal together. Yes, you are doing an intimate act with your bro when you go get a slice and a brew. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it should be celebrated and viewed as such.

Sex, physically is just the act of procreating and as males we are hardwired to want to do it all the time. Nothing wrong with that and feeling shame over it is wrong. In fact Christians shaming young ones over sex is far more damaging than productive.

When I finally said "fuck it" and "threw away" my first time on a one night stand, I expected some longing or feeling of shame or regret or whatever... there was a little... I wish I could have waited for "the one" as the intimacy factor was lacking. Without intimacy, I found sex to be masturbating with a vagina. It wasn't a bad experience, it just wasn't with someone I cared about and therefore it was purely physical.

So if any of you guys end up raising young boys, teach them the value of intimacy, but also be real with them about sex. It's not as special as the church or the secularists claim. It's just a part of being human.
