Of course it's possible to do that. If people in the past were able to do it so can do is a personal choice. The fact that your friends are saying that are just jealous and envious that you're still a virgin because they don't want to see you making it. I'm almost 30 and I'm still a virgin. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction or anything like that. It has nothing to do about just being scared. It's about the intense. Should you or should not you? You could have done so years ago if you really wanted it. So this really no reason as to why you have to ask that question. Because it sounds like to me you'll just looking to please other people and it fit in then to stick to your boundaries, respect your morals, and the standards that you believe in. If you want to wait say you want to wait. If you want to do the right thing to do the right thing. But don't try to please other people. Don't try to meet that unrealistic expectations. Because in the end a lot of men today are just and it just a hop in your pants. Some don't want to get married and they will help in your pants. Others will get married just so they can hop in your pants. You don't want to make a mistake you going to regret. Those are irrational fears. These days there's nothing really stable anymore. I know plenty of people that are celibate and are going towards their 60s and 70s.
So it is very much possible. Not everybody is called for marriage. And and by that, does not much that can be done. If you don't want to you don't have to. So don't make people try to force you into anything you don't want. But what does matter is that you don't have sex outside of marriage. Please don't make the same mistakes your friends did. Because they can laugh it up in the end they secretly telling you that you're making them uncomfortable because you're still a virgin. That's not real friends. Real friends respect you. Not mock you and then Force you in a position where you feel like you have to do it out of peer pressure. Men today no matter who they are will tell you anything just so that you can lose it. A real man that respects you would just tell you you don't have to do anything you don't want.
The intent*
Those are rational fears* I'm getting sick of these typos
Thank you this reallyy helped me and I do get that this world is fucked up there’s no more love in it
If you don't wanna ever have sex that's totally up to you. Nobody can make that decision for you especially not society. With everything being sexualized nowadays it's become more toxic than before. But it's your body and you don't have to do anything you don't feel comfortable with although you're still young, you may already have your mindset, you may feel different in a few years but not everyone has to be sexual and shouldn't be if they don't like it. You should do things that make you happy and if sex ain't it follow your heart. Im still a virgin at my age but i hope to have sex someday with a great guy. I don't know i like sex. I see sex as an emotional passionate bond with that person you love and care about. I don't see it being the only factor but i do think it's important and a way to connect on an intimate level but everyone is different and just make sure you be honest and true to yourself and don't let anyone's pressure or trends tear you down.
So I am not in any way any kind of expert, but I figured I'd give my two cents. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting to have sex, or do anything sexual with yourself or others. People will be assholes about your choices, because people are assholes about a lot of things. Some people who aren't assholes will still question your choices, and tell you that you will enjoy it or that your attitude towards sex is unhealthy. I think the absolute most important thing is to make sure you understand WHY you feel this way. Some people are uncomfortable with sex because they are asexual. Despite what some people might say, asexuality is completely normal and you aren't "wrong" or "confused" for identifying as such. Some people are uncomfortable with sex because they have developed more slowly, and so aren't quite as physically and hormonally mature as others their age. Some people are uncomfortable with sex because of some kind of trauma or past experience, possibly even something they have repressed or forgotten about.
If you're completely comfortable with the idea of never having sex (or even just waiting until you feel ready) then great! You know yourself best, and don't let anyone shame you for how you feel. If, however, you feel like there might be a bigger reason behind your feelings around sex (especially if it might be trauma-related), it might be a good idea to talk to someone about this. And by "someone" I mean a counselor or therapist - someone who actually knows what they're talking about (family members are also a good option, but only if you trust them to be respectful and honest). Obviously it's fine to talk with friends about this stuff, assuming you're comfortable with it, but remember that they don't know any more than you do. Personally I've always hated being told that someone who's older knows better, but in this case it's definitely true.
Above all else, I would suggest taking things slowly. If you do decide to get intimate with someone, make sure it's because YOU want to. There's nothing wrong with having sex, but there's nothing wrong with NOT having it either.
Just be happy. Others will try to judge you, pressure you to conform to their standards or try to label you but ignore them.
Maybe one day you'll meet some one who makes you want to try it, maybe you'll never want it, but as long as you're following your own instincts and being true to your own feelings, it's all good.
Personally I think it shows strength of character that you haven't given in to peer pressure at this age. I know a lot of people who had sex just for this reason and regretted it.
Thank youuu!!! This is like the best comment.
You're welcome. Glad it helped.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!We've all made statements saying never, always, forever, etc when we were young. This is because we see things very black or white when we're young. As we age and gain more experiences, we are more likely to see things as different shades of gray. You can compare it to people who choose to get married at your age. Though it might make perfect sense at the time, those your age don't have the knowledge to even know what to look for or expect, yet alone the knowledge to put something back on track after it has diverted off. You may feel you're all grown up now, yet please save this and read it again in 20 or 30 years to see how much you have changed. Maybe you'll stay a virgin and maybe you won't, but setting up a lifelong challenge will only limit future opportunities. Also, you may have been uncomfortable riding a bike or driving a car before you had any experience with either. Would you prefer avoiding anything in life that is new, just because the newness is scary? A job interview is scary, so don't get a job. Not knowing what to expect from a movie can be scary, so stop going to see movies. If you think about this, I'm sure you don't wish to stagnate at this point in your life and avoid all future growth. We can't predict what we'll encounter in our future. It will be filled with both positive and negative experiences, but those combinations of experiences make us the person we become, and, hopefully, you'll appreciate the person you'll see in a mirror.
Thank you this actually made sence from what the other people were saying
You're welcome. I hope you like the person you'll become and enjoy the life you choose.
It is possible to be a virgin forever, and it's possible for you to make it, especially if that is your goal. It depends on how you live your life also; for example if you masturbate, that is going to lower your chances, since by masturbating you are practicing something that will increase your sexual appetite.
Another factor is your age of 18; you still have a lot of hormonal influences that are going to happen to you especially in your peak sexual maturation happening between now and around 30 years old. Every month, your body is going through menstruation, which is literally the process of your body preparing for insemination of one of your eggs.
If you are determined, with a lack of sexual activity (including masturbation), your habits can increase the likelihood of you remaining a virgin, and I would say if you have this goal and stick to it for the next 4-5 years, then your patterns/habits will probably be strong enough that you will have gone through the most risky or potentially difficult portion of your life in terms of willpower to not have sex.
My prediction is that it is more likely that you will end up getting caught up in a romance and start to desire sex sometime in the next 5 years. But I don't know you and your personality at all, that's just a prediction based on statistics.
I'm a virgin and haven't had my first kiss either. For my age, I'm a late bloomer but I rather wait for a man who truly deserves my heart and my body.
So, you are still very young. Masturbation works for a temporary relief, and if you are comfortable you can try exploring your sexuality with someone you trust.
You are young so it isn't really unusual to not have had sex yet :) but if you don't want to do it then don't feel pressured to (I think it is a bit overrated tbh). My best friend is older than me and she is asexual and doesn't think she will ever have sex which is fine :)
Wait so asexual means u don’t want sex?
More or less yes. It is a weird word because it is also explaining the reproductive methods of some plants and animals that do not require sex with another one of there species to create offspring but the term has been picked up by people who don't want to have sex as well :) Don't stress out about it you sound like a smart girl you should focus on the things you do like and are interested in and if you feel like sex is for you someday then you can get to that as it comes to you and if not then being a virgin really doesn't matter besides socially in some countries
Thank you!!!
I completely understand. The thing to understand here is that it's very important to take your time and make sure YOU feel comfortable. It's definitely not something you'd want to rush and regret later-- and certainly not something you'd want to do 'just to fit in'. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 18 or 19-- heck I didn't even know how to kiss a guy. I also was very uncomfortable with doing sexual things too. I'd say when you want too then that's possibly when you'll be more open to doing those types of things.. But you're young! Don't worry! you have your WHOLE LIFE to explore and discover who you are and what you like. Best of luck. P. s. Don't feel embarrassed about anything. It's totally normal. :)
You could just not be into, focused on sex right now... Low sex drive, or asexual... As you get older, that may change, may not... But as long as your happy, I wouldn't be overly concerned about it
Honestly, talk to a sex therapist. They'll help you come to terms with whatever your reality is. I think that what you want, and what porn doesn't show, is intimacy. It's the forehead kisses and the bear hugs. It's someone knowing what you want without you having to say it. It's a connection. You are a sexual creature, you do get horny. But you get turned off by the crass acts in sex. I can't say anything about it being dirty, cause it inherently is (naked people, sweating, putting their saliva on each other) but it doesn't have to be offensive. Find out what you like even if you do deckde that you like being asexual. It does not mean that you're aromantic.
Sounds like you might be asexual?
But anyway, it's really up to yourself whether you might "make it" or not.
Yes, of course, that is possible. There exist asexual people.
But you are way too young to say if you will stay a virgin forever. Life is long and you will likely change your opinion on sex many times. You are on a site to ask the other gender stuff, you sure have some interest already and it will probably not disappear.
LITERALLY SAME!!! LIKE EXACTLY THE SAME! i've never found someone who feels the same way about this topic as me. i've felt so much pressure for so long and stated questioning myself, my sexuality, my gender, my worth. i thought i was asexual for a while. and now i just don't know. i can't ever see myself being sexual with anyone or anyone even wanting to be sexual with me. i've wondered if im going to be a 70 year old cat lady, who's never been kissed. im just confused and don't know what to do.
Lmaooo yessss I swear we would be best friends if we knew each other lmao
most defiantly lol
It is possible, but that rarely happens to people. It's ok to be scared and uncomfortable about sex and kissing. Put it this way: Both can be exciting and pleasurable, but both can also be awkward, nerve wracking, and embarrassing too. When you find someone you love and want to be with then it won't be as bad. When you think of sex by itself it makes you anxious. When you think about sex with a loving partner it's much different-romantic that is. 🌹
It is possible to be a virgin forever. There’s nothing wrong with it at all. It’s your body and your choice. Don’t ever let people make you feel insecure because you’ve never popped your cherry. It’s normal. You’re not the only one.
Thank you I know this is already gonna be the best comment ♥️
☺️ awww thank you!
Your welcome 🥰
Let me tell you something... You're young and you have your whole life ahead of you. Don't sweat the peer pressure. Lose it when you are ready and with someone you trust.
Thank you!!!
Yes it is possible...
Many great leaders are virgin...
I don't know about you...
I think you will get someone...
Don't worry...
And there is nothing wrong if you didn't had your first kiss yet...
You're 18 years old. Chill.
What🤣🤣 what does 18 years old have to do with anything
Erm, I'm gonna have to agree with your friends.
Ehh I’m not sure bc I think I’m a sexual
Yep. But you're gonna have strong competition from me and i am not gonna quit my abstinence 😎
What
Nvm🤦♀️
K.👍
Don't listen to your dumbass friends. Studies have shown that people who wait until they meet the right person are happier in life. You're only 18, don't rush it.
Thank you!!!
You didn't say if you had a libido, it could help to answer if we knew that.
What’s that
Yes I think it is possible if you have no natural sexual desire to experience a penis in your vagina and if you feel no biological need to breed. However you could still become pregnant in a non-sexual way and still satisfy any natural desire for pleasure either solo or with a girlfriend.
