Yo!
I'm currently a 20 year old virgin, and I plan to wait until marriage before I do the deed.
The reason I'm choosing to abstain from sex is religious in origin. However, now it's just a matter of principle and sort of a personal goal of mine. You see, I have already decided that I want to marry a virgin and I figured "how can I demand a virgin if I'm not a virgin myself?" The reason I want a virgin is so that both of our first times will be together and will therefore be more memorable. Also, I don't want to constantly be (or at least feel like I'm being) compared to her past partner(s). In addition, I'm not ready for a baby right now, nor do I find the idea of STDs pleasurable. Performance anxiety may also be a problem.
While many of you may disagree with my decision or (more likely) my reasoning, this is where I stand. I've already had my friends try to convince me to relax my standards--there's more to my criteria than just being a virgin--but I rightly refuse. Unlike them, I'm ok with never finding the girl for me. I settle for no one.
(There I go again. Long-winded as usual. It's just that I spend so much time introspecting and reflecting that when I'm asked to talk/write about myself I just can't seem to shut up.)2 1 0 0I grew up in a religious household. I was born again when I was 12. Yes, even as old as I am (48), I am still a virgin. Why? Primarily because fornication is a sin. But also I grew up in a single parent household. I watched my mom destroy her health working jobs that, honestly, were meant for men. She destroyed her joints working backbreaking jobs. I determined that my wife would never have to do that. Unfortunately, by the time I was financially stable enough to marry and support a wife and children, too much time had passed. Most of the "available" women my age didn't want to start a "new" family. Meaning, they didn't want more children.
So, I have become content in the fact that I will never marry. And of course, fornication is still a sin. I commend all the ladies here who have decided to keep their virginities. May God bless you all and provide you with decent, honorable Christian men who will appreciate the special gift you have saved for them.0 0 0 0

I am a 42 year old virgin. I was a nerd in high school and I expected to have a nerd boyfriend. But I only got attention from one guy, a stud who had like 20 girlfriends before me and I felt like he thought it was his right to pollinate women. I wanted a virgin like myself, and the older I got, the less likely that was going to happen.
I am well educated and I have experienced career success, but for some reason, I do not get approached for relationships. Only solicited for sex. Do the guys think I should be desperate because I am overweight (I am a size 16/18, not so bad). I don't know what it is. I always thought that I would meet that nice shy guy and we would live a counter-culture but happy life, not like the cool kids. But really build something good based on friendship.0 1 0 0i feel the same way as a 22 soon to be 23 year old male virgin. I always thought i would connect with someone as shy as me but it never happened.
I'm a 21 year old virgin girl, I'm a Christian, I work and go to school, and I'm pretty too. You would think someone like me would have a boyfriend I don't I think the reason why is because God has someone intended for you, I am trying to work on me while I wait and trust me I get lonely as hell and I crave someone I can hang with but guys now a days don't really want to wait and trust me. I know there are some really good guys be patient. Each time I try to find a guy they try to break me and it's hurts like crud. God has a good guy for you just wait and keep yourself.
0 0 0 0I'm a virgin! My boyfriend and I were actually talking about why we want to wait until our wedding night although he is not a virgin. He wants this night to be something special between us and I agree. I mean if we were to go off and have sex every week or even day, our wedding night would just be like any other day of having sex. He says he wants to knock my socks off that night. ;] oh baby. bahahaha. It's totally worth the wait for that special night of bonding. =]
and also religious reasons ahahhaa1 0 0 0Wait you will be THANKFUL! #virgintil26
Am I the only person not waiting until marriage? Well, don't I feel morally repugnant. . .
No, I'm not waiting for religious reasons, and I'm not necessarily waiting until marriage. I'm just not ready yet, and I haven't met the right guy. When I have both of those things--I'm ready, and I feel that I'm with the right guy--I'll know. And if the right guy happens to be waiting until marriage, so be it. I'm in no rush.1 0 0 0I am not waiting till marriage.
Not waiting for marriage either, completely agree with everything you said
Agreed. I am waiting on someone I can trust. I want to have sex, but I can't unless I trust the other person. And trust is earned.
I'm a virgin because I was an ugly duckling until age 17. Then the only guys that took an interest in me were the weird stalker types or the "I don't know what I want" types. Now, I'm in a relationship with a man I love dearly and I'm waiting for marriage because he is waiting for marriage.

U are not a loser ... I am 19 and I am a virgin I am planning 2 wait till marriage its a personal choice for me. Its better because then you will know that it was worth waiting for.
0 1 0 0I'll be 19 in less than two weeks.
I'm waiting until I'm married, because I believe it"s the right thing to do, according to the Bible. I haven't ever kissed a guy or held hands with a guy, never had a boyfriend- nothin'. I'm okay with it, and I'm not embarrassed, because I know that the guy I end up with will really appreciate it. If he doesn't- he's not the one.1 1 0 0Well I'm waiting because of my beliefs, teachings of my religion and culture and the values imbibed in me
0 1 0 0I am still a virgin and I also have never had a girlfriend either. I guess I am waiting for love before sex though.
0 0 0 0Unfortunately you're not the only one I don't choose to be who I am God does I don't even have a say I thought Free Will was supposed to be a thing think again imagine a guy developing into a man but just kind of stopped. Halfway that's about where I'm at
0 0 0 0I'm a healthy 42-year-old male, and a virgin, I have never had any kind of relationship, romantic or sexually, I've never been on a date, I have never had a girlfriend, I'm not a virgin because I'm saving myself for marriage or any other reason except I don't know how to talk to girls, I am very shy and quiet, I have never learnt how to interact with girls, I have always just frozen up around woman when I was younger and as I got older... well nothing changed
0 1 0 0You are my dream man! I am a 42 year old female virgin. I am also on the shy side. Dreaming of a good man with a good heart who hasn't had a lot of partners. I have had my chances, but it just doesn't feel good to be touched by someone who wants to use you for sex. I don't get courted for relationships. Maybe we can connect somehow,
@sallimae Im a 22 year old male virgin going on 23. Really been wanting to just talk to someone about amd age makes no difference to me. I know this is totally random but i would like to connect with you.
I am a virgin at 29... It's a personal and religious choice. It is difficult because I have only had one girlfriend that lasted two months. I have social problems, so I can't really talk to girls or be around girls without being uncomfortable. I plan to not have sexual intercourse until I am married, but I would like to have other sexual experiences, as I am curious of the female body.
0 0 0 0well im a virgin and some times it does fell like no one und stands but then I think of how hard its been on me and how it will get better as I get older at leat s what I tell my self
0 0 0 0Hey, don't feel bad that you are virgin. lol. I'm one, but its not for religious reasons, its just because I haven't found the right guy. Guys aren't like girls most the time, seems that most just wanna get rid of it.. but as for girls.. its a big deal. I mean, you are only a virgin once, and you will always remember your first. I'm waiting for a boyfriend who I really trust, maybe even love. Be patient, you will find someone :)
1 1 0 023 year old male virgin here, always been shy but i dont consider myself ugly just utterly horrible at picking women. Would really like to just talk to you about this if your interested. Why not take a leap of faith
I'm 22 and I'm still virgin. I want to wait until marriage. I want to find the right person. You're not alone. :)
0 0 0 0Your not the only one iam 27. But not from a lack of trying.
0 0 0 0I'm a 31 year old virgin. It's been mostly a choice, with a few instances that were not my choice. I used to always be proud of what I am. I always thought I'd get with a virgin as well for it to be memorable, experiential, clean, and no past worries.
Things now are starting to make me feel weird and way out of the norm because of my age. I feel unexperienced and adolescent. I have very good education and take care of myself physically.
Now, I worry if it's solely my hormones getting the best of me making me want to act or if I just need to "catch up" and get things over with. It's been a struggle the last 2 or 3 years for me and I finally reached out to a support group.0 0 0 0Have you been endlessly waiting for “the one”?
