Question - (5 February 2008) 8 Answers - (Newest, 10 March 2011)
A male Australia age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi, would this make people think i'm weird. i'm 20, about to turn 21, and basically i have had no experience with intimacy. Like i've never even kissed anyone intimately, let alone had sex. I've been kissed but thats when i was heaps younger, and it was always a surprise i didn't know how to react.

I have a friend who i've liked for ages, she told me she likes me, I thought that something was going to happen. But it's complicated, I mean something still could happen between us, it's just looking unlikely atm. Anyway I told her everything, as we have been friends for ages. She thought it was a good thing that i was a virgin, a little surprised i had never kissed anyone, but said she wished she was me, with all the experience she had had. This really took me by surprise that this really awesome attractive girl thought i was hot.

My question is would anyone else find this so accepting? I mean I'd think if i told someone else they would think i'm a loser or something, and that would wreck any chance of a relationship. I'm just so shy, am i normal?

Am a 24 year old male, and am still virgin. I have had several situations where almost everything paved way for me to involve in such act, but every time my self control helped me be what I am. I don't mean that physical relation is bad, but I definitely feel we aren't animals to involve in it every now and then. Its a sacred thing. Its very deep and a symbol of pure love. And I definitely feel I should share with only one girl, my future wife, in my entire life. In that way I am definite that I could love her more than anyone else could probably do. This is the age to conquer the world. Be a reputable person, to aim high & live our dreams. So live it. Stop living for others. Let the world be corrupt, you arent one of them. Be proud of yourself.

When I found your story, I had to register in order to share my thoughts about it. I'm 19 years old going on 20 and I talked to a girl about 2 days ago on myspace who was interested in me and I had to turn her down because she was not a virgin and I still was. I told her that we could be friends...and I now regret it because it doesn't matter if your a virgin or not. What truly matters is whats inside each others heart and I finally realize that now. I plan to meet her one day...and I hope I find the answers I'm looking for also. Until then, be happy for who you are. For what you are and don't let people get in the way of yourself. You are beautiful person. Not because your still a virgin, but rather because your a human being who's looking to do the right thing in life and wait until you find the right one.

Thank You

A female reader, anonymous, writes (13 February 2008):

I wish there were more people like you around! I've just turned 21 and am in a similar situation to you. I don't see any need for any rush - and life is far too short for regrets!

The way I see sex, is that it should be something sacred between two people - the same two people - throughout life. In order for this work to work it also has to be the right person. For me the right person is somemone with whom you share a mutual love and respect. I find it very difficult to have respect for somebody who has been party to trivial involvement. So peer pressure tells us that the more boyfreinds/girlfriends we've had the better a person we must be - rubbish!

I say all power to you, and if somebody finds you a loser or not normal, that's their problem and not yours.

My boyfriend was apparently 21 when he lost his virginity - I admire him very much for waiting for a meaningful relationship. I lost mine at 15 and regret it.

scythe agony aunthey there,

i think it's awesome too. there is absolutely nothing wrong with not having many intimate experiences. if you feel this may cause problems in a relationship, simply inform your partner of your history and then work from there. have fun learning :)

tommy2k7 agony auntMate, I'm 28, and still a virgin. If a girl really likes you, then gets to know you, and you don't rush, she wont pressure you into it; in fact, she'll admire you more for waiting for the right person.
