  • Yeah, there is nothing wrong with you either. Being a virgin doesn't devalue you in anyway, in fact it should be seen as respectable. I think it sucks that virgin women are seen in a positive light, but virgin men aren't. Just know that not everyone is a shallow, brainless clone. Some of us can actually think for ourselves, and I truly believe that it's okay to be a grown man and still be a virgin. You do you, and don't let anyone tear you down for something as insignificant as this.

  • Lots and lots of reasons for them to be so. And not as uncommon as many think.

  • No, definitely not!

  • Sure why not? -- Most people are revolting & or society is ill -- who'd blame him?

  • There is nothing wrong with ANYBODY being a virgin, despite their age. Losing it doesn't make you a "real" Man or Woman. Today's society says if you don't have sex, you are less than desirable. Well society can kiss my ass.

  • Well, it’s okay.
    Not sure if this thing should have a label.


    It can be okay or not depending on the man.

  • Why is it not okay? I don’t get it. People should do whatever they want with the exception of inflicting pain on others.

  • That's up to him. I've seen enough men that choose to be celibate (even myself) and for them it's A-OK.

  • why wouldn’t it be ok?

  • Yes it's OK, may mean he has high standards and not just going after anything that comes along.

  • I voted "yes," but the matter is more complex than that.

    It is absolutely OK if he chooses. If he desires sex, then I would have to ask why he's still a virgin. If it is a source of sorrow, and I believe it's a very legit source of sorrow as I have seen it in many people who went to their graves virgins who were deeply depressed about the lack of love and physical touch, then no, it is absolutely *not* OK.

    I'm curious why you made this question gender specific, MzAsh.

  • It's up to them really, of course that is if they are voluntarily a virgin or can control themselves if not voluntary.

  • A lot of these responses are leaning on the thought that he’s choosing to be a virgin when in reality MOST guys above 30 who are virgins aren’t by choice. It’s either their lack of social skill or looks abs how that affects their self image that leads to their virginity. Of course that’s not always the case but you should probably ask why that guy is a virgin.

  • Yes its fine, as long as he has self respect women will like him so he will eventually find one

  • Well it's not illigal lol

  • That's up to him. No one else gets a vote.

  • Men who are virgin by choice are the best kind of men. Men who are desperate to lose their virginity are losers. Men who don't give a shit about it, don't give a shit about it?

  • Him being a virgin means he is unsuccessful with the ladies which is unattractive to women

    • Not necessarily. Some people haven't found someone they feel comfortable with sleeping with yet (and some have different values when it comes to sex, and are not interested in causal sex), some don't put themselves out there much and therefore don't meet many people, and some may simply not be interested in sex.

    • @aWes0MeNeSs thats cool I'm talking about the majority of time. Women like successful men, successful men can get laid

  • Why wouldn't it be? Sure it might not be that common, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. There are lots of reasons someone might remain a virgin into adulthood

  • Totally fine
