Is it normal for my age to want a wife instead of sex?

I just turned 17 last week. According to the usual hubbub and conversations at school, people my age tend to want sex or a short-ish term relationship that won't last out of highschool. On the other hand, while sex sounds nice and all, my thoughts are a lot more like an "old mans" as my friend described, when I told him this. I don't care too much about sex, I really just want to settle down somewhere in the suburbs of Canada with a 4 bedroom house, 2 SUVs, a dog, stable job and a caring wife, maybe even have a kid. 10 years too soon? Now that I really type it out, sounds pretty funny.

    yea thats sounds pretty nice until 43 percent chance they divorce you getting the kids dog cars house your job your retirement and your future earnings after tax. that second marriage will also fail , so will hers. its simple math just look it up online. the very very best thing you can do is shop for a nice mom for your kids , at least they won't hate you for that part.

    I think it's great that you want a wife instead of casual sex. Good luck finding the right person. :)

    I can tell you have never had a girlfriend. You will have this mindset until you have your first split.

    This is the typical and healthy life brother. I agree with you. So that, I recommend you start searching for your future wife. Btw, it is not funny. You can start the first step now, find your wife, a suitable wife! someone that you feel she will stay with you forever, this might take you 2-5 years. By the age of 22, you will have your future wife with you. Then you can work together in order to achieve your dream. You need to be really careful in the process of finding the suitable girl! Ignore fancy girls with great bodies and dresses, find a lovely soul!

    A lot of people your age like to sew a lot of wild oats which is not a bad thing as you will experience a lot of things sexually and that will help when ready to settle down and pick a woman that is sexually compatible. But if you don't want to do that then it's your call. But be sure to "try it before you buy it". 😂

    religion much ? meh, mayhaps you're more mature than your peers. just don't forget to have fun, because teenage urge to go crazy tends to return in your thirties or fourties if not lived out properly
