things like stability in the house, and maybe a kid to continue your genetics. but in australia, its just plain rude that marriage takes half of your income and more.. depending on how things go.
I enjoy most of my SO and we have been living together for 6 years, only recently i started to experiment on what i was missing out on and yep, i'm SOOO was missing out :'(. But life is about the ups and downs. Should i have called off the wedding, yep, but its too late now. If the sex was there, i may not go looking elsewhere but sadly it seems marriage cuts whatever supply there was to nil or very little, so thats why i look elsewhere.
For me, i'm under 30 and i think that is still too soon.
Its also interesting that in my SO's family, there is males related to her that have a mistress (known to the rest of the family) as well as a wife and things she says just seem so strange.
Well. I thought marriage may end my punting life, but it didn't because sex stopped shortly after marriage. After kids come, what is this sex thing? So, punting returns - as a way of getting some satisfaction in life.
So.. what age? Keep punting until you are sick of seeing different girls and then get married. Make sure you have a secret account in place so when the sex stops, you get it somewhere else to keep the marriage going.
If you can stay faithful in your marriage, its a good thing.
Punting is too addictive and hard to change once you have tasted it.
"I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing" Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.
Lady Bracknell rocks!
Here she is ...

Yes, she does. I borrowed from Lady Bracknell when my young niece excitedly ran in to tell me that she had lost two teeth.
"To lose one tooth is ufortunate," I intoned. "To lose two is beginning to look like carelessness."
