In the old days - when dating was hanging out with a chaperone and the person your parents had arranged for you to marry when you were still in diapers - people could pine away for each other, and there was no risk of sex to soon. If you had sex before you were married, you were road kill, literally and figuratively. Now we have done away with chaperones, arranged marriages, and parental influence (who was the last date your parents liked?), and sex is still hanging there, tempting and dangerous.
Which is just fine! After all, sex is powerful stuff: basic, primordial, fun, messy, seductive - and therefore dangerous. This doesn't mean you have to avoid sex; it simply means you should treat it carefully and with respect, kinda like fire. You want it to warm you, not harm you (the burning up part I'll leave to your own personality structure).
