How many of you have lost virginity (had their first sex)?
I haven't and I am 25 (probably the oldest here).
Wrong
I'm older, and I'm sure it might be other people even older.
How many of you have lost virginity (had their first sex)?
I don't, and I'm almost 31.
How much virginity actually IS IMPORTANT to you? Do you want to wait for marriage, do you enjoy one night stands, do you want to do it out of a love with your partner?!
Sometime I feel sorry for waiting that long. Even if I didn't really waited something in particular except someone to do it with.
I'm not waiting for marriage.
First, in college (11 to 15 Year old in France), I wasn't in the same boat than others : they were wishing for girls and trying to touch her as often as possible. They were obsessed, and I was shy and thought they were dumb, I felt out of this world.
I wasn't interested into going out with a girl like others, because for me it looked like others only dated with every girls they known from the same class, when it ended they changed girlfriend with another one, and for me the love was needed first so it was out of question be interested into girls this way.
I needed to love to date. but without seeing girls, I couldn't fall in love with anyone :/
That's when I found my shyness, and I'm still very shy with other people (not only with girls).
Then, High school time, everyone spoke about girls, sex, date etc.
I didn't like the idea of being the one who didn't know it, so I started wishing to lose my virginity with another virgin so I wasn't the inexperience guy with the experienced girl. Then again, I never met someone, and never tried in fact.
After school, I never get out of my home but for work. I don't know anyone in my town, and I'm too shy to go out with people.
I never met everyone, and time passed until now.
Now I think I'll never find a virgin again at my age, and I forgot that idea long ago XD
That's why I think the time made the thing even more difficult to manage. The more I wait and the more I think it's hard to meet someone.
It will come when it will come. Maybe never. I don't want to do it just to do it, or because it's "too late". There is no time out nor obligation.
Sometime I'm wishing to be a couple too, like others I known at school and I see again now married and with children.
I'm thinking about how it could be for my first time, why I will accept it, how long from meeting someone to having sex, how it's working to be with someone... many questions I better not think, because it's giving me a bad mood
I'll just continue living days after days, as life is coming, and I better forget about all that.
Edit :
Forgot to tell about how sex has alway been seen as a bad thing for me.
From young days, when parents jump on you to put their hands on your face to cover your eyes to not let you watch the TV because there is two people kissing, or showing their body part ; to the actual days with everything in the culture being forbidden : "not recommended for young children", "under 18", "censored" even in games, anime, movies, advertising, etc. everywhere there is something to remember sex is bad.
All in the society is made to make you feel guilty about sex, I'm still imbued in that idea, and think it's a bad thing. I'm ashamed when I see TV with people having sex, or even nudity, and I can say EVERY American movies have that sort of scene nowadays XD
So it's even harder for me to accept being with someone.
edit 2 :
I'm atheist, so there is no religion telling me how I must act with sex (it could have been linked). that's only my way of thinking.
