Virgin shaming needs to stop

Virgin shaming needs to stop

I wish virgin shaming wasn’t a thing. If you shame people for how many partners they’ve slept with, that’s seen as rude. Yet people seriously think there’s something wrong with you if you’re a virgin. Maybe it has to do with religious reasons, but maybe there’s mistrust because of trauma in a bad relationship. Or maybe they want to be sure the person really loves them and is not just using them for sex. It’s ok if people aren’t ready yet and honestly it’s a part of dating but it shouldn’t be the only important factor in dating. And in my opinion those friends who want to hook you up with someone just so you can lose your virginity are annoying. Anyone who wants to sleep with someone should do so because they choose to, not because they’re pressured. Yes, sex is reality and yes sex sells. But true friends won’t care if you’ve slept around or if you haven’t.

  • Only a girl who has been with million would say this.
    I care some guys don’t!
    If a girl has too many dicks I don’t wanna F get!
    That’s why I don’t like prostitutes.


    Its called preference.


    Get over yourself.


    No one wants a loose nasty sticking out kitty.

  • I have never seen “virgin shaming”

  • lol ur a virgin

  • So do many many other things.

  • Sex isn’t that big of a deal to me ion really give a shit

  • I agree

  • So here is my share of rebutting this virginity topic. I never had conventional sex in my life, although I had a girlfriend once and we also did have sexual activies, I just never slept with her and know what? I don't care. I am even proud of being virgin. Why so you may ask?

    1. I easily could have slept with my first girlfriend, but I decided it would be cheap to stay together with here just to have sex. I didn't feel 100% comfortable with here, so I quit the relationshop before it happened that we had sex and I am proud of myself, that I made the right decision here and threated her with respect.

    2. It propably would have been reasonably easy that I get a new girlfriend and sleep with here, but I decided to focus on my life goals (also my health situation got worse, so I had less time/energy available)

    3. I think dealing with the fact you are virign made me stronger and I am more aware whats actually important and what isn't. Also I think the mastering of this common male dillema, made me develop some unique qualites, I think the girls I will date in the future will enjoy, even if my sexual experience is very bad.

    I am sharing all this, because I wanted to show that there can be good reasons for being a virgin and it doesn't have to say anything bad or weird about yourself.

    • Sorry for the bad grammer and spelling, I forgot to spellcheck :D

  • I'm not really convinced this is actually a thing. Certainly no one shames girls for being virgins. For guys who are older and involuntarily virgins it can be taken as a sign that they are undesirable, but then they don't have to go around announcing their virginity in the first place.

  • Honestly I think sex is overrated but maybe that's just bc I'm a virgin

  • Here's the thing though:

    You are actually the one bringing this up, what that means is that you have taken in this idea and taken ownership of it and now repeat it to yourself.

    If you dont like feeling that you are being shamed by this then stop shaming yourself.

    People say all sorts of things which could be hurtful etc, these are invitations, you dont have to accept them, thats a choice that you are making.

  • If others can't respect your lifestyle, they aren't true friends. True friends will not shame you.

  • I got rejected on tinder and bumble for being a virgin by end number of women lol

  • Here-here.👍
