Is there anything wrong with this?

I told one of my friends that my new boyfriend is a virgin and he's 18 and they said that there has to be something wrong with someone who hasn't lost it before 18. They said maybe he's gay or maybe he has relationship problems. I didnt think anything of it until they said that.

Maybe he wasn't popular at school and never had much confidence? Whatever the reason, be proud he still has his V and don't listen to your mates.
How mean! Maybe he's just not met anyone he fancied enough? Or maybe he's shy? My other half didn't lose his til he was 23 and there's nowt wrong with him!!
I've been told about the conversation Angel had with her friends.
She told me that she told them that I'm a virgin, and don't do sex before marriage.
Their response went along the lines of
"Oh - he's gay!"
Really gets to me that people simply can't accept that I'm proud of my virginity, and I'm not going to lose it before I'm married. Simply because it's not the norm., those outside are degraded :mad:
Edited to say: I was 18 at the time, and I'm 19 in a month
I just wasn't prepared to be as sheep like as the rest of the people I knew and sleep with someone just because it would seem odd if I didn't!
I wanted to know that the person I slept with respected and loved me as much as I respected and loved them! And as far as I can tell theres nothing wrong with that!
If I were you I'd give my boyfriend all the support you can and try not to treat him like a freak. And tell your mates to get a life and stop being such children.
:yes: best thing anybody on this thread has said!
incredibly shy, yes.
there are 101 reasons why people wait.
Your friends are just being silly and childish and you should ignore their stupid comments.
dont worry i was 18 when i lost my viginity. its nothing to be ashamed of
lisa :wave:
I'd respect anybody who keeps their virginity, they should be proud because it's something you have once and never get back again (unless you're Jordan)
