Cyaan buy puss inna bag!” This is a common Jamaican proverb that is normally used among Jamaican men, and these days, heard also among the female population as well. To say “cyaan buy pus inna bag,”  simply means that one cannot get married without first sampling sex with the potential wife/husband to ensure sexual compatibility.

Most Jamaican men fear buying the “puss inna bag” as he fears that at the end of the extensive dating, courting, the “I do’s” then the “now you may kiss the brides” and the looooooooong awaiting honey moon, a hidden catastrophe may slap him right across the face ‘seh him have cold fish inna bed’ meaning there is no vibes in the bedroom. Therefore, he “cyaan buy pus inna bag”. Jamaican men dread this outcome-though a small majority may wait amidst the uncertainty. But, did you know that according to Priorities For Today Magazine , sex after marriage reduces the likelihood of divorce? 

Uhmmm…

Is sex the key to love, or is love the key to sex? Even if after finding out that there is ‘sexual compatibility’, would this then be a guarantee to eternal marital bliss? Additionally, in Priorities For Today Magazine a statistical analysis of participants showed that couples who wait to have sex …enjoy significantly more benefits in the relationship than those who had sex earlier. The article also stated that men and women who chose to wait before having sex showed the following in their relationships:

·         22% higher in stability

·         20 % higher in sexual satisfaction

·         15% better in quality of the relationship

·         12% higher in communication

Those who parade the opinion or dread the fear of buying “puss inna bag” and pushes to unveil the “puss” at the shopping counter you may get ‘blouse an’ skirt’ scratch… Meooow!

I like this article... The last line is funny. Sampling does not mean it will last either. How far or how long will a man sample to find that one that tickles his fancy? 3 women? 5? 10?

I have been approached often by guys who wanna 'buy the puss in a bag' all even if dem nuh know me! . Quite annoying though. I didnt just reffer my significant other to this article I sat and read it with him. This article made us realize that we do not need to rush anything. But only need to love n honor each other instead while respecting each other's boundaries. If we are to marry in the future, as we are planning to, we will need all the tools to fight against all the factors that contribute the high divorce rate. This post is an awesome tool! We definitely dnt wannaeget 'blouse and skirt scratch' !!! Those stats will definitely be our motivation. :) Thanks to the admin staff for this blog. My hubby to be and I appreciate it.
