reader, anonymous, writes (16 April 2011): Im 19 going on 20 and I'm a virgin as well. I don't feel sad or left out as it is by choice. Also, realistically, I would have not been ready for that kind of involvement with someone at a young age. even though my friends beleived they were, they were far too immature to deal with the pressures surrounding bein overly sexual, as well as the side-effects. If you're worried about preformance or whether people will judge you, well, they will. But keep in mind that these aren't people you want to be with in any way. I've met a ton of people who commended me for the fact or understood why I was. Even though it wasn't *their* choice they respected that it was mine. Surround yourself with these people. Regarding preformance? When the time comes, whoever has sex with you probably will not care. As long as they are kind and have some sort of feelings for you. As for relationships, I'd rather be with a guy who is a virgin. And I've had plenty of guys who did not mind that I was a virgin either. They would be more concerned if I was sleeping with everyone else. I feel like females feel the same way too, and if they find a virgin male they are more likely to view him as sweet and understanding...possibly even more of a long term person. If you feel like you are not finding these people, try looking in the right circles. Most of the judgement people feel are by people far too immature to be doing the act (and as a result act like children) or your own ego.There's more important things to think about than whether you've had sex or not. Also, keep in mind that if youre too concerned with it, it will show (and you could look desperate). Any those who may consider you an option might be turned off. Feel confident in yourself, in your personality. Work on yourself and communication skills. You'll find someone (hopefully special) and eventually this will not be a concern. You're still young, don't worry!

I don't know why so many young adults and teens think that it's "in" being a non virgin. Honestly, I think a virgin is way more attractive than someone that isn't. That's just my own opinion. All I know is that when I get married, I don't want to be with someone who's been with all these women and is "experienced" beyond years. I want a man who will become "experienced" with me. I want him all to myself and only to myself. Nothing wrong with that.

You will in time meet somebody that you love and things will happen naturally and natural is often best. No need to feel bad about been a virgin...above anything be TRUE to YOU.Good luck

 I'm 27 and a virgin. Honestly, it doesn't really bug me like it used to (sorta, sure, but not as much as it did.) I don't have a child to support but I cannot see. I don't have AIDS or herpes. I don't a reputation as a player. I DO have a job I like, many close friends of both genders, and my self respect.

I got only three pages in but there are at least 10 more with the same questions. My point is that it is normal. People worry about it more than you think.. Some of these posters are guys, some are girls. Most girls are just waiting for the right guy to come along who will traet them nicely and love them, some are looking for the guy who's also a virgin, and most guys are looking for a good relationship to have first. Try not to focus so much on having sex before you're the last of your friends. Having the sex in general, is not important. It's the having sex with someone you care about, that's important. And being satisfied with the person with whom have chosen to embark.

At your age, there should be a million things more important on your mind, then sticking your penis in a girl's southern Orpheus.... Considering you have -/+ 60 years to do so

there is millions of people the same as you, this aint even an issue. dont go to an escort or prostitute-thats for when your like, 50 years old. There is no rush with things. just get a girlfriend, and when it happens, it happens.

 It will happen for you when the time is right! No need to rush into anything and I don't recommend losing your virginity to an escort! It is silly to think that there is an age that you "have" to lose your virginity, or there is something wrong with you! That is Hogwash!!! The time has to be right for you, not right for the people who like to talk garbage and pressure you into something that isn't right for you....be patient! It'll be worth it, if you are patient and wait for the right woman!

 My friend is 21 and she is still a virgin. I know people think it's all about sex these days but it's quite rare someone being a virgin at 20+ Hell, it's rare if there are 13yr old virgins these days. Don't just get rid of it like that. You'll lose it. Go out meet some girls. Don't be an ass about it. And some girls find it quite sexy and it turns them on.
I hope this helps =)

 Of course you wont silly! Not everyone loses it at the same time. It will happen, just be patient.
When you find a girl that is special to you, it will happen naturally. Just dont try to rush things!

Firstly, get this firmly in your brain that there is no shame in being a virgin. It means that you are not desperate, you're not a people pleaser and that you are strong enough to wait for the right guy to come along, sweep you off your feet and EARN the right to take your virginity away when YOU decide. It's a one time thing and i personally believe loosing your virginity is a big thing and you make a deep connection with who you sleep with so you don't want to give it away lightly. I've chatted to guys around 21 + before and they say it's a major turn on if the girl hasn't lost her virginity yet, especially if she's been in relationships before becuase it means she takes relationships seriously and isn't one to just give herself to anyone. I know it's really hard because i've been through it but i'm soo glad i waited until my amazing bf came along because he didn't push me into it and i made the decision when i was ready and never had to live with the guilt loads of my friends have said they now have because they lost it too early, and too the wrong guy! Keep strong, keep confident! :)
