My significant other says he wishes he wasn't a virgin. What can I say to him? 
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.

doofus125 said:Well, from reading some other posts of yours.....is it possible that he feels like that when the time comes for you two together that he may feel inadiquate or inexperienced and he's feeling that if he had experience in the past that he would know how to satisfy you? If that's the case tell him not to worry, the first few times will be awkward, it is for almost every guy because it happens so quickly. I know that some of us worry about that first time, it's nothing to be ashamed of because we have all been there (or will be).
Anti Existance said:That if he would love you that he would be willing to wait for you. If he says yes i will wait for you, then he really loves you. If he says im not willing to wait, then he wants you just for your body and doesn't love you.
JeremiahJ said:I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, pardon me for being redundant if you have. It's also possible that your boyfriend feels a certain amount of jealousy because you are not a virgin. He might feel jealousy toward you because you have experienced what he has not. More likely, he may feel envious of the guy(s) you have had sex with in the past. There may be a sense of injustice there. It can be unsettling that one's girlfriend has had deeper physical experiences with other guys than she has had with him. It might be frustrating that he can never have what you have already given away. So, he wants to even it up. He wants to create a just situation by himself participating in sexually iniquitous behavior. In becoming a virgin, you guys have the same amount to offer to eachother, it's a situation of equality. That sort of logic seems sensible, but it's twisted. Still, he may feel this way or be thinking this way, but be unable to change the way he feels or thinks. It's possible that he's trying to change this way of thinking, and knows it's not right, but can't get over the injustice he feels. If this is how he's thinking, then he's probably hesitant to tell you because it is kind of an embarassing, confusing, and perturbing thought process.
This is a mere hypothesis, I'm just throwing another idea out there. I've seen something similar to this before.
