There seem to be a few myths that circulate.

1. If you don't use it for a while, it isn't gonna fall off :| .

2. Last I checked, life doesn't end after marriage, if you love the person you married, are you going to settle for lousy sex? Its a matter of learning what each other prefers, and being open. If you wait, you dont have a preference in the first place, so it just gets better and better.

3. Lots of guys say that if you don't do it before marriage then they will just find someone else to suit their 'needs'... Guys have a much higher libido than gals, but that's just selfish and stupid. If you care for the other person at all waiting is not a problem.

4. Love and lust aren't the same thing, how lazy are you? If shes not willing to make it better (and both sides have plenty of incentive :) ) why marry her in the first place.

5. Girls arent cars -_-... Sheesh...

I voted no.

It's not about "test driving" - I actually find that analogy a bit horrible :x

It's about knowing and loving the person you're with. I'm not religious at all, so marriage to me is about committing to your love for one another to each other and in front your your friends and family - an official, symbolic "I'm with you for life" sort of deal.

To that end, in my view marriage is just an official stamp on what you already have. Sex is a very important thing in a relationship, and there's no way I'd marry someone I wasn't that close to already.

    • Very fitting name since AI users have air where there brains should be.
    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
