Abstract
The premarital sexual experience of 161 couples still married to each other after twenty years is reported and answers are sought to the following questions: What is the effect of premarital sexual experience on subsequent marriage? Does the degree of premarital intimacy make any difference in the subsequent marriage? How do couples with premarital sexual experience evaluate it after twenty years of marriage? The findings show no evidence to support the hypothesis that increasing degrees of premarital intimacy will have increasingly detrimental effects upon later marriage.
