Hi there. Im a 17year old virgin. Well... ive been with my girlfriend for 5 months now. I love her so much but i wanna feel so much more. And we were discussing sex. And she says shes going to wait til she gets married. I heard sex takes your commitment/love to a higher level.. I want to feel that. I want to lose my virginity to the right person and i feel she is.

Please help?

What should i do?

So confused!!!

Hey man, I know how you feel, But the best hing to do is wait. Sex does bring couples closer together, but you really should wait untill you know you wanna be with that girl forever. I lost my virginity at 18, to a girl I thought I loved, and sex just made things more difficult, about 2 months after we broke up, and havent talk to each other since, and now im 20. just believe me, man just wait, and when you know you want to be with her for the rest of your life, go for it, tell her how you really feel. Best of luck to ya.

You are 17. You've only been with her for 5 months. It feels like a long time but it's not really and if you really honestly love her you will wait. I'm 17 and I'm a virgin, my boyfriend and I have talked about it and my ridiculous shyness and he said he isn't going to rush me at all and I can take my time. He's 19 and sometimes I worry that he'll get fed up and leave me even though he denies that he ever would. The fact that hes so understanding and patient makes me feel more comfortable with the thought of losing it to him. If you don't pressure her she will feel that u understand and respect her and maybe in time she might change her mind. But she definately won't change her mind if you pressure her and even if she does she may resent u for pushing her into losing something she clearly values. Just be patient. There are other ways to have fun ;)

I am a 17 year old virgin too. Although I've only been seeing my boyfriend for a short time, part of me wants to lose my virginity SOON because I feel peer pressure and I want the experience. But because I'm confused it's a huge relief that we've already talked about it and he said he'll never rush me into anything. It makes me feel in control of when i want to make my decision and it makes me feel more comfortable that when/if I do decide to have sex with him it will be my decision. I think if you give your girlfriend that control she will love you even more and when shes ready she will have sex with you. You've only been together for 5 months and you're only 17. If you really love her you could be together for a long time and she might change her mind about the marriage thing. If you do stay together for a long time then whats the problem with waiting? If you really love her you will wait. If you pressure her she will feel you don't understand her. In the mean time you don't actually need penetration to have fun ;)

hope this helps

Straight Up agony auntsex is not the only intimate sexual thing that could bring you and your g/f closer. don't rush her or you'll only push her away from you do you really want her thinking you only want her for sex. you need to respect where she is coming from. i know it's hard as we all have hormones which can be uncontrolable but you need to try and controll them. there not much girl who are pure like that so as rk06 said you have an incredible girl.

A reader, anonymous, writes (6 July 2007):

If she doesn't want to have sex then you must respect that and not pressure her into anything she's uncomfortable with doing.

You're obviously with someone who knows what they want and is strong minded enough to make serious life choices like waiting until marriage so you should proud of her and grateful that you've got such an amazing woman.

Sex does not take your love to a higher level, trust and an emotional bond does. And if you continue push the subject of sex after she's told you her opinions then her trust in you will disappear.

A female reader, LauraE United Kingdom +, writes (6 July 2007):

I don't think you want to "take it to a higher level", you just want to have sex, and are too embarassed to admit it because it sounds selfish. This waiting is important to her, and you must respect her wishes. If you pressure her into what she doesn't want to do, what will that do to the trust between you? If you can't wait, then leave her to find someone who will wait - without putting a guilt trip on her like "It's your fault for not putting out".

Yeah, sex won't take your love to a higher level... it's just like a mark you'll leave on the girl that says "I own her and we WILL get married"...

You wouldn't know, there might be problems ahead of you. Avoid rushing things. It's good to wait.

penta agony auntIf I were talking to a female friend of yours who you really cared for, and she said, "I love my boyfriend but he's pressuring me for sex; I really want to wait because it's important to me," what would you tell her?

I would tell her that if he loves you, he'll wait for you. Otherwise he's only in it for the sex. If he keeps pressuring you, dump him. Your body, your rules.

Knowing this, I think you should respect her or you'll lose her.

Sex doesn't take you to a higher level of love. It's an excuse. What takes you to a higher level of love is a combination of factors. Sex is but one factor.

A relationship takes time to build trust through friendship and understanding. Love comes gradually as your emotions are being fulfilled through a range of experiences.
