It's an emotionally charged subject. You're laughed at if you choose to wait, and you're called damaged goods if you don't. A vocal minority makes vulgar assumptions no matter how one answers the virginity question. That's why personal matters such as this are best kept personal.

Yeah I find it embarrassing, if I was a Christian least I could have the "I want to wait until I'm married and be a good Christian excuse" but as an atheist *and someone who is very relaxed about sexual matters* it's harder to answer for.

I'm 28 and I have to be honest, there are times when I'm embrassed to still be a virgin at this age. I know that according to the bible I'm doing what's right by waiting for marriage, but what if I never get married. The thought of dying a virgin bothers me!! Does anyone else feel this way?

Don't worry about it or just have sex.

sex i-i-is scary


The thought, the idea of it, yes...but once it happens...eh, all fear flies out of the window, being replaced by mad passion and you just go at it.

(I hope this doesn't get me banned)

Only 22 years old? Are you being sarcastic? Why would I be proud of it? I don't value virginity whatsoever...

Oh well, I'll start having a sex life soon I guess, it's more fear than being undesirable. Still... I've waited too long, but it's no the end of the world.

Sex isn't scary. How vulnerable you make yourself, the amount of trust you must have in your partner, the emotions it evokes for that person...That's what is scary.

Depends on the type of sex you have lol.

Not really. Especially from a woman's standpoint. You have to trust the guy not to hurt you, to stop if you say stop. A woman is extremely vulnerable, whether she recognizes it or not. It does evoke emotions, whether you stomp them out or block them is a different story.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

I'm 21 and a virgin and I'm not ashamed to be one because the friends and people I hang out with we really don't talk about if we are virgin or not. The only time that question or discussion came up was in a book study when one person said it but it's really nothing to be ashamed of. It all comes down to the people you hang out with or if someone bring it up.

I've never understood the big deal about being a virgin vs not being one. Sometimes I feel like once you get out of high school, the only people that care about virginity are virgins. Myself and most of my friends (all non-virgins) will be the first to tell you that there's nothing to be embarrassed about and to keep waiting. You aren't "missing out" on some vital life experience. It's great, yeah, but it adds a whole new layer of complexity and responsibility to your life. Enjoy not dealing with it for now and don't be in such a rush to start having sex.
I completely agree with the bolded statement. The only people I hear demanding to marry a virgin are other virgins.
