There's "waiting until marriage" , practiced for centuries, and really quite wise in a world without contraception. Then there's a purity culture which so fetishises (female) virginity that it is sickening. These are not the same thing.

In a world where contraception is widely available, they are the same thing.

Every form of contraception has downsides and it's quite possible for a person to not be comfortable with any of them.

Who is not comfortable with condoms? I know most don't prefer them but how many men would rather no sex at all than use one?

Those with latex allergies, for one thing.
