got to say till my gf. I thought I would stay a virgin for much longer time. I had not even really kissed a girl from middle school. I'm an atheist so no religious. I'm kind of submissive person so I don't really hit on people.
don't drink or dance, so no clubing. no church thanks to the atheist.
my likes are computer programing and RPG both are not known for single women.

had thought about online dating but never did it. thankfully she hit on me while we where playing WOW. also thinks to my computer nerdyness and do my lack of knowage I have ended up here.

anyway both of us are still technically virgins still depending on how you define it.

*edit* hard for me to get upset so if you have question feel free to ask.

I never meant that marriage shouldn't be work. We work very hard at our marriage. I just meant that it is "One more thing" to overcome and work towards moving past.

My Mr used to have the mentality that it should all "magically work out." Needless to say, the first 1.5 years of our marriage were really tough.

i know a two mid twenties virgins and they both are socially awkward you could say lol. i dont know of other kinds of virgins i dont believe, i've heard of em just dont know any.

I agree, surely there was a more polite way to ask about this topic.

And since I have posted.
I am a 24 year old "virgin".
I suppose I am socially awkward but the reason that I feel is most pertinent as to why I have not had sex with another person is that my parents split about the time I would have started to be interested in boys. After that ugliness I had some issues to work through before I even thought about dating or spending time in a social setting. Not to mention an overprotective mother I had to work up the willpower to argue with.

I am 21 years old, and I am a virgin. And I am not a virgin for any of the reasons you list. Frankly, I find it distressing that that's what people think of someone like me, that I must be unattractive or religious or something. The only reason I am still a virgin is because I am ridiculously tight, and every time I try to have sex, it hurts too much. It feels like I'm being ripped in half. I have been gradually getting bigger and bigger sex toys because that's what my doctor said will help be adjust and feel less pain. That, a lot of foreplay, and a glass of wine, she said. lol. But point being, not everyone is a virgin by choice, or because they are ugly.

You know I was 20 when I lost my virginity. It was with the man who later became my husband. He was my first and will be my only. When someone is an adult and is still a virgin, most people assume it is becuase of religion. Honestly, I am a Christian and that was the main driving force as to why I was a virgin for so long. I dont find anything wrong with that. And I used to get "well you are missing out on a lot" all the time and people would make fun of me for it. It was my PERSONAL decision. Back when I was a virgin, before I was seeing my now husband, I was pretty darn happy and didnt even think about this stigma of "still being a virgin". Surre i thought about it, dont get me wrong, I thought about it, but I didnt become ruled by it. I dont consider myself to be socially awkward and I still chose to be a virgin

when I met my husband, I was a virgin and he was not. He respected me for that, that made me really happy that he respected me. He didnt look down on me for it. I knew that when we finally got down to "business" and did it, I wasnt looking for bells and whistles. I knew it was going to suck on our first time. I didnt wait until I was married, for the year I really chided myself over it. But now I just dont care.

My husband has confessed to me that he wished he had waited. When I run across anyone who is an adult and still a virgin. I applaud them them. Being a society that is so driven by sex, it can be a relief to see some people who still hold true to their OWN moral beliefs and convictions. Now Im not saying that adult virgins are better or that someone who is not are horrible, or slutty. Just because someone is socially awkward, doesnt automatically label them a virgin.

People make a choice and people need to respect that and not critisize, or ridicule someone for it. Whether its someone who is telling a virgin that they are missing out or whether its a virgin whos telling someone who is not that they are going to hell or that they are a slut. In my opinion, who cares what someone else choses to do with their own life. Its their's and not mine. People chose to be/stay a virgin for many reasons: Religion, standards, romance.

Im afraid I may have talked too much. Im not here to piss anyone off. Just give my opinion. So if I have, I am sorry.

Well put!! I couldn't agree more!!

This. Exactly.

Agreed.

I agree with Carrie Ann. I'm not voting because of it.

ditto

My biggest regret is only having sex with my husband. I fooled around a lot and did practically everything else, but I still wish I had sowed my oats more. ;-) I will NOT be teaching abstinence to my kids, only sexual responsibility.
