Lots of people who have been raised on religion, and even some who aren't, will think "Marriage before sex, gotta save myself for the right person!" Otherwise those who are generally pot heads and jerk bags who were raised poorly by their parents will go "Dood sex awesome, gimme gimme gimme!"
But regardless of which side you come from, there's always temptations and valid openings to "get some".
"sex is only important to adolescent male nerds and nymphos"
That makes no damn sense, it's important to all humans. How else would we (or any species) stay alive without it?

I think you're looking at this all wrong. Among all the reasons to abstain, "more sex" is the worst I have heard. You would get more sex outside of marriage. The reasons I would give you are commitments are better, you don't want a horde of STD's, and it's religiously better. I wouldn't look at sex as a precious commodity.
Okay, here's the honest math behind my decision. If I devoted the next 4 years to getting laid, averaging once a week would be lucky. That's like 200 times at my luckiest. Now, if my abstaining gained me one extra time a month, and I found someone, in like 4 years time, for the next fifty years, that's 600 times. NOW THAT'S AN INVESTMENT!!!!
Copy this to your hard drive. It will be worth alot when I'm famous.

Having the same sexual partner gets boring, why do you think people cheat and get divorces? It's better to be a freelance fuckmachine before your married so you don't have to worry about these things.
^^maybe you don't understand; I suggested you don't treat sex like currency. Of course I know you think it's an "investment." You're going to ruin your life with that viewpoint. It's not like the point is to get as much sex as you possibly can.
Sex has consequences, you shouldn't mess around with contraceptives unless you have AIDs cos its murder.
Sex should only be used to deepen the relationship between two married people and to produce children.
Abortion is murder.
Those are my beliefs and fuck you.
In most western countries there is a problem. People who are infertile and/or impotent cannot adopt children due to the use of contraceptives and the legality of abortion. Imagine getting married and wanting to have children but you can't because you are infertile, and then not being able to adopt because people are scared of having children and so they kill them.
