    Personally i dont think its bad for a 20 yr old to be a virgin... i've got a few friends who regret losing it at a young age in a field or what have you.
    If you felt something holding you back before...obviously you werent ready.... now you feel that you are ready... fair enough.... just need to find that person you'd like to have it with...
    Nothing to be freakish about. At least when you do.. do it... you'll be ready and won't regret it.
    Hope that helps :cool:

    Yes it's terrible. It will stop you from having healthy relationships down the road as well as getting that promotion. ;(

    YOU'RE DOOMED :crying:

    Of course it's not terrible. Very few people are left "mature" virgins because of the hype young folk are given to lose their virginity. If anything, I think it's quite impressive.

    I suppose there are times where I'd still have liked to have waited - however things the way they are I'm glad it's over. Sex is overrated and the first won't always be the best. You'll always have better sex to look forward to provided you find a decent person to share that intimacy.

    Don't beat yourself up for a choice quite strong to you - that's more degrading than losing it just for the sake of losing it when you want to keep a bit of integrity to yourself - so to speak. :p

    Good luck! xx

    It's not bad at all, but you have to be okay with it.

    to be very honest, i think to be a 20 year old virgin is something which shows that you don't do things just to follow the crowd. SO many people i know lost their virginity just because 'everyone' was doing it. you have to do what makes you happy. :)

    to be honest most of my male friends are 21/22 year old virgins. i dont find them weird or sad or insanely introverted or anything really.

    You could always auction it off on ebay like that student did, she got £8,400 for hers and was able to give up her part time job and pay all her fees :)

    I won't be surprised though if the tax man don't come looking for his cut.

    I dont think there is anything wrong with being a 20 year old virgin. As long as you are happy with it, then go with it. Do what makes you happy when you want, not when there is pressure from others to do something

    :lol: If only I were a virgin :(:p

    I actually heard of this lady getting a surgery to "get back" her virginity.....how odd is that... :chin:

    it's actually a pretty expensive procedure.



    Even though she could have probably just stop having sex for months or a year and it'd save her the money :p

    it isnt freakish to be a 20yr old virgin, it just isnt that common!! You've got respect for yourself+you'll lose it with the right person at the right time - it'll be good, so dont rush it :thumb:

    In a sex-obsesed media world then yes, you are made to feel a freak for not sleeping around like some sort of man whore.

    Tell the truth, you're not missing out on much. Sex is fantastic, but it's not the be-all and end-all of life. Not in one so young anyway.

    Stop fretting, and the time will come. You could go and pull a ugly bird tonight, and she'd be grateful, but that's just a bit, well, pathetic really.

    I'm 18 and still a virgin... I'm in no hurry to shag anyone either...

    I'll be a virgin until I'm in a long term relationship - it just so happens that I haven't found one yet!

    Be proud that you're not some kind of put around and lost it as a 'child'. Be proud that you know what you want, and you're not afraid to wait ;):D

    what, and men don't want an experienced lover?

    you'll experience these things in time, there's no hurry!

    Exactly. You don't only gain experience from shagging a whole loada people. You can gain experience too from trying different things with the same partner.

    Yup, when all you need is some bubble wrap and a broomhandle.

    I think anybody who judges another on lack of sexual experience ain't worth getting with.

    I think it's cute if somebody's a virgin. And all the more fun to show them the ropes & help them explore their bodies.

    A person who goes through the 'sexual journey' with one partner won't know any better and will gain experience through time so the sex will get better and better.

    Compare that to a person who has shagged loads and loads of people..... some good, some crap, some magnificent (who are most likely to be one night stands that they never see again). This persons sex isn't getting better and better...... its going all over the place.

    ^ Dunno if that made sense but my point to angelblue is be proud that you're a virgin!!!

    I'm a 19 yr old bloke and still a virgin... like you I've wanted to wait until the right time with the right person, and despite having opportunities have turned them down. I thought this was the way to go, but now i'm starting to get more and more girls criticising me for it whereas I thought they i'm doing the right thing (and its what I'm comfortable with when it comes to my consicence; sex should be something to cement a relationship between two people not a plaything)

    Am I right here or am I still totally old-fashioned?

    It makes perfect sense crescendo. It's a proven fact that you can only have excellent asex with your partner when you have learned exactly what he/she likes.

    And that takes time and stability.

    Well... you only live once

    I don't really understand why it's shameful being or not being a virgin.

    I'm 17 and I'm still one of the unlucky few, but in the long run whatever happens, happens.

    You're not old fashioned at all. You'd regret it if you lost it to someone who didn't mean anything to you or wasn't the right person.

    Well I really couldn't think of any other word to describe it. Being denied pleasure on that magnitude when the majority of people I know have it at their disposal, well I guess it makes me feel a bit unwanted, unseen, and useless. Some people get what the want, some people don't. The ones that don't aren't very lucky.

    If you want it that much, and you feel that way then why don't you just go 'get it'? You're making it seem like it's only a selection of people that can have sex...?
