• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm still a virgin... but not in a practical sense.

The only way I'm able to remain standing is because masturbation and fantasy isn't concidered breaking your virginity.

However... I'm happy to report that I actually went 2 whole days without it... a new record for this semester.

Am I supposed to congratulate you for that? :doh:
Don't be so hard on yourself, DaNorthernLight ...

I was a virgin at 24, i am 25 now and not. I saved it for someone I really liked though. Not just any old girl. Mind you she did rape me, (i can't blame her i would!) but i didn't say no:) or resist. It was just a relief to have to rid of it after. I was not hanging on to my purity or innocence, just axiety about doing it for the first time.

I realised that me being so anxious about losing it, saving it till marrege thing was just a defense I used.

Um, I see a lot of guys here, but where are all the girls? This doesn't look too good ...
Don't worry so much, bro! It will come along. You also have to remember that there are born again virgins--those who have accepted Christ after living for themselves sexually and have reclaimed that as their life. I am a virgin and want my wife to be that way as well, but cannot discriminate if there is a born again virgin who has changed their life because of the Lord. I've done things in my past that I am forgiven for, but I wouldn't want someone to hold that against me if I am born again. We can hope for a completely pure wife and value that above all else, but we never know who God has planned for us--it may be a born again virgin. I personally hope that God has a virgin for me because I want to explore everything with that person that they have never explored either... Anyway, God bless.
