what's the big deal about being a virgin in our early 20s? Every time i tell someone i'm a virgin, they're all speechless and ask me how could that be, i'm in my early 20s! and then there are those who tell me that they admire people who wait...

I dont mind being a virgin at all! Im a virgin by choice. I have had opportunities to have sex and stuff. but I never felt like it was the right time. It's funny, cuz i get it for being a virgin and my friend gets it for sleeping around!

Im not saying that waiting to have sex is easy. cuz..i can't wait. but, I just dont see why people make a big deal about the fact that i still havent had sex.

maybe i'm being old school about this and some of you may think i'm a hopeless romantic. But, i think sex needs to be shared with the one you love, not just the first guy you have the opportunity to do it with. And one night stands make the act of making love so mundane. well, at least that's my opinion.

I think the fact that I think that way may not help me get a relationship. I've never had a bf. but, i've had the opportunity to be in a relationship, just never went for it for fear of having to break-up with the guy cuz he doesnt want to wait for me...I was in san diego last week and I made out with this guy who asked me if he could go back to my hotel room with me. I politely declined and he was cool with it. but, if that relationship would have continued...how long would he have been cool with it?

What do you think? do you think I should take that stick out of my ass or that I'm doing the right thing?

    i think that your virginity is a gift and that you should be careful about to whom you give it, personally. having been in the position of having given mine to someone who was unworthy of it, i believe i can speak from experience.

    while i'll confess that i think that society has a stupid double-standard about the way it views virginity in women (desirable) and men (undesirable), i think society makes too big a deal of it.

    Sweetie, Rock On!!!!!
    Congradulations on holding on to something so scared!!!!
    In todays society, it seems like everyone is messing around.
    Hey, I'm 26 and for me, it won't happen til I'm married.
    Don't worry about what other people say.
    Just think of it, They'll never be what you are but in time, when you are ready, you'll be like them.

    I think that you should wait until you know that it's what you want to do and resist bowing to any kind of pressure to do otherwise. Like SW says be careful.

    HI Tifa

    I'm totally with you on this I'm also a early 20 something virgin and so are half my friends, and theres no religious reasoning behind it or anything like that.

    It's just that 'm waiting for "Mr right" instead of "Mr right now". I've been called a hopless romantic but really I just want a guy I know well enough and trust to share this experiance with. I want sex for the first time to be right for every reason not just any reason.

    I've had one boyfriend but he wanted to do it when i wasn't ready yet turned out he wasn't cool with that and the jerk dumped me by email no less.

    Besides who's want to screw around with guys you don't love or at least have a strong bond with. Unnecessarily risking STD's and pregnacy, because apart from abstience no contraceptive method is 100% fool proof

    Good luck the right person is out there for you no matter how disheartening it is not to have a boyfriend right now. (Speaking form personal experiance as a single for the past 5 yrs)

    I'm an almost-20 virgin, myself, who's never had a boyfriend or anything like that. I have religious reasons for clinging to mine, but even if I didn't, I'd be with you on this one.

    "anonymous" took my line when she referred to abstinence being the only way to avoid unwanted pregnancy and STD risk, though I can add that birth control pills increase your risks of certain reproductive cancers.

    (I was on them for 5 years just for the hormones 'cause I have PCOS—endocrine system & therefore my hormones are shot—but I've recently stopped taking 'em 'cause they raise my risk for cancers I'm already high-risk for. Wonderful.)

    What's the big deal about having a boyfriend, anyway? Let's see, needless stress... acting like someone you're not so the person stays interested... potential interrelational complications from miscommunication...

    So I'd say you're being smart rather than, as I'm sure some people have called you, foolish.

    Well, I'm a 24 year old guy and know what! Im still a virgin. I'm basically from India but live in Germany now. The girls who know me here say something like, "now, dont tell me your a virgin, I mean your so nice, you've never had a girlfriend before, I dont belive you!". Aha! But I really want to wait for the right moment and the right person. I once taked a girl out who stays in the same city, I met her online, then, the next day she refused and made me feel like a jerk! I should not have asked her about it anyways. Now, I feel, I'm gonna wait, no matter what it takes, for the right person and the right moment. Im too preoccupied with my master studies here and I know my future in engineering field is bright. So, I need to concentrate on this right now. I'm a very family oriented person and religious too. But thats not why I dont want to loose it. I'm proud of what I'm doing. 3 cheers for us, virgins! Ciao!

    Hello,
    I'm 25 year old guy and still a virgin. In my case, i've only told one person, and she was really quiet at first which made me uncomfortable, but she saw it as an opportunity to find out why and How I feel about it. I've told here my main focus is finishing my Masters and moving forward in my career and going from there, I know in my heart that the right person is out there for me, so i try not to dwell on it.
    Also, I have the fear of scaring women away by being truthful and telling them that i'm a virgin, it would just rurin me socially, people would look at me differently.
    I've sat in a bar and listen to othere make fun of "Virginity" and talk about the that stupid movie "The 40 year old Virgin" which make my skin crawl.
    Society has so much negativity toward "Virginity", it makes me sick to my stomach.
    Thank You,
