I’m 23 and still virgin. Is this normal?

My best friend told me she lost her virginity when 17 years old. Sometimes she’s making fun of me. I don’t feel completely ready but should I try to sleep with someone?

Superb Opinion

  • I didn't lose my virginity until I was 26. Frankly there's nothing wrong with it as long as you are ready for it. A lot of people lose their virginity without knowing the consequences. It can make you feel dirty or it really happy. But you should not feel rushed about it. People today are losing their virginity way to young imho. Choose someone you think is really worthy because your first is one that sticks with you for the rest of your life. You'll always remember it so make sure it's a memory that can make you happy. I didn't do this, I just kind of rushed into it to play catch up and I felt really bad after. I had this feeling of cheapness and filth. It took me a while to come to terms with it and to this day I still regret doing it with the person who was my first. I found it sad more than anything else tbh.

  • Don't allow external pressure to influence your internal decision making, If you feel like having sex go ahead, if you don't you shouldn't. If the jest from your friend is making you feel bad let her know or lose her. There's much more to being a person than whether you've had a penis inside you or not, hope this helps.

Most Helpful Girls

  • Go at your own pace. Everyone’s life has their own pace. Don’t compare your pace to others. Don’t rush to sleep with someone, It will happen when it’s meant to.

  • No, but same, and you should never rush. Only have sex when you're ready

  • You need to tell her to cut it out. Everyone is not on the same timeline when it comes to having sex.

  • You can respond to her by calling her a slut, nice try of her trying to virgin-shame you. :)

  • You shouldn't do it if you don't feel ready. Period.

  • Its normal to be virgin even at the age of 23, their are so many who are virgins at the age of 50. Not joking. It might be that you are very sexually active or you are focusing on something else other than sex. Never rush your virginity, take your time and be prepared. If you go to soon then their is always a chance of problems coming up. So be patient and wait for the right moment. Other than that, being a virgin is not a big thing.

  • Of course it's normal. You wait until you're ready, don't pressure yourself or let anyone else pressure you.

  • Don’t worry about what normal is focus more on your own life and desires I personally think it’s better to be a virgin till you deff feel it’s right with someone really special because you can end up regretting it.

  • I think it’s normal.

  • Sure, listen to your wisest friends who plundered through it at 17: only to spend the rest of their lives regretting it. Listen to those guys... lol

  • Your virginity isn't a condition or malady that needs to be fixed or cured.

    This is why we DATE. So you can find a compatible mate. Time to get busy. Don't be just fucking random guys, you'll regret it. I guarantee it.

  • If you are not ready, stand your ground and wait until the right person comes around. You do NOT have to please your "friend".

    Besides, if she were a real friend, she would accept your decision and not mock it!

  • Hi me too whats your story?

  • Wait for the right person, the right time and don't put pressure on yourself to "just get it over with"...

  • You can lose it whenever you want. There's women who never lose it and they're even happier than women who do.

    Your best friend is just jealous of you cause she knows she's a used up slut while you're a virtuous maiden.

  • Yes, it's normal.
    And you need to tell your friend to stfu and get out of your business.

  • Nope you shouldn't, you must be proud to be a virgin, basically a decent girl will lose her virginity only to her husband...

  • Nah dude, it's completely fine. She'll prolly never stop teasing you about it, but literally 95% of the people ik are virgins, and there is nothing wrong with that

  • I’m 32 and still virgin. I’m waiting for marriage, and I simply haven’t found the right person yet. (Not even a date...)

  • yeah why not, what is the biggy about that, when your ready, your ready don`t sweat the small stuff, try fu... k that you won`t find it a pleasure. might end up being a bad experience. one person you will just want to give that is paradise, enjoy your beautiful spirit!

  • Yeah its normal. I gave mine up at 23. Its different for everyone. When you are ready you will be ready.

  • its fine just keep looking
