27 years old and still a virgin

Seriously.. I'm a 27 yo and still haven't had sex yet. Still holding on to my vcard after all these years.

 

Well, I've had sex with my hand of course. But I don't think you can lose your virginity to your own hand.

 

I think I'm officially one of the very last holdouts.

 

Absolutely everyone else I know who's my age, has had sex by now.

 

Hell, even all the 18, 19 year olds know have had sex by now!

 

Pretty much everyone else lost their virginity long, long ago. Most of them in their early-mid teens FFS.

 

****.

 

I'm still in no hurry to have sex, and I don't think I will be for a long time yet. I just feel so alone on being the only one whose still a virgin.

 

Sure, I was often wanted to, as a teenager. All teenagers do. But I knew I wasn't emotionally or mentally stable enough to handle it, and I didn't want to put that extra burden on myself, so I resisted. Then when my teenage hormones died down, it didn't even matter to me anymore.

 

For me, virginity is a HUGE deal. It is very significant and important to me, and the emotions surrounding sexuality run very very deep.. but thats just me. Each to their own, of course.

 

*sigh*. Suddenly feel so depressed. Only because it's 6:30 in the morning and I'm all by myself.

Why? Who damaged you in this way?

Nah, I was the same as you. I did loose my virginity until I was 27. Some people are just put together differently and for me I just wasn't interested in having sex with just anyone.

I can sympathize with you're feeling, I'm 26 and in the exact same boat. Although waiting until you find the right person is something to commend, you are so right, it's easy to feel incredibly lonely in such a situation.

There is nothing wrong with holding out, absolutely nothing! And when you find that special someone they will love you for it. Don't worry about a thing, there is no hurry. Anything you want to learn from experience can be learned at any time. Only you will know when the right time is for you.

When men are older virgins, they are usually so depressed about it. Why?

 

 

 

Male worth is often judged by sexual success with women.

I'm 33 and still a virgin. It used to really bother me, now I really don't care anymore, I've pretty much lost interest in women.

I lost my 'v plates' at 21. As a guy yes I think there's a lot of pressure...and the thing I feel is that even having slept with a couple of women (I'm now late 20s), I'm supposed to have slept with a lot more.

 

It comes down to knowing what you want...forget about society's judgements...what do YOU want? If it's something you want personally then you have to work out what's stopping you, change those behaviours and go out and get it. Are you too shy? Too picky? Don't get a chance to meet a lot of girls?

 

And take pride in the fact that you had the guts to do something about it rather than just giving up.

 

And if you DON'T want it, screw what society's says...being true to yourself takes more guts...that would be more of an achievement than succumbing to peer pressure or society's 'norms'!

 

Best

Your whole post is a reiteration and a 'poor me' complaint... do you want help? Do you want to tell us if you have ever asked a girl out, or been rejected? Do you want to tell us how you would approach a woman, what your personality is like, what steps you are considering to get a girl?

 

Your situation is not uncommon, and can be changed with a little effort, and potentially an entire rethink to your current mindset. So details please.

It's not just men. I'm 30, female, and a virgin, wish I wasn't. I could go out and find just anyone, I've even had ppl offer, but I just don't want it to be just whomever. I think it's normal to feel kinda down about it cause of the way the media views older virgins in today's society.

I think it's kind of nice... I mean I regret losing my V card to the guy I did.. :p blah, M-F'er. It really is a special thing tho, and I think people forget that these days.

Everything about the construction of nature and how or bodies and minds are designed all focuses on increasing our chances of procreation to spread our genes.

 

If you haven't done it then you feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with you and that on some very basic underlying level, you are a failure.

seriously dude its your choice. Don't let your virginity define you. If you did lose your virginity right this second you would learn the amazing truth that your still the same person. Sex isn't anything special... well other then its really fun. But more important then the sex is the emotions you build with a person you are in a relationship with, and yes falling in love and having a person love you back. Then you got it all, the fun of sex and the love of a person who loves you back. Sudenly all those love songs on the radio will make more sense. So please tell me why so hopless? have you been asking girls out and being shot down? Collector has a point

He made reference to having sex with his hands. If it was she, the reference would be to fingers.

 

As far as the matter of the topic, people shouldn't be rushed by other people's opinions on this matter or any other matter. Everyone at their own time.

Well, I think you're putting way too much expectation on sex.

As for you, I had sex very late the first time. And I must say that it just wasn't that great, probably because of the stress. I have to say that I was much better with my hand! haha

But it'll be much better with time, don't worry.

And if you avoid being too close too girls because you fear they might discover that you're still virgin, so what's the big deal? Would you prefer going out with the girl who's virgin at 27 or with the girl who has had sex with 100 different partners? I guess most girls think the same way...

Bah...

I lost my v card at age 16...

The sex was no good, but it was a confidence booster.

I know I sound irrational for this, but I was extremely pessimistic about it ever happening.

I never had GOOD sex until I was right about to turn 19...

Now that I'm right about to turn 22 and the girl with whom I shared said experience with has left for another man, and needless to say is sharing what made me so elated with him... I'm questioning whether I would rather not have engaged in such acts...

=\

Just try to be content with where you are.

Keep putting yourself out there and you'll eventually find someone whom you feel is worth losing your virginity with.

Once you fall in love, it will be amazing.

Trust me.
