Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Why is a woman who has not experienced sexuality not respected?
Anonymous
I am almost 35 years old and I have never had sexual intercourse until today. I'm a virgin and these people don't respect me. When a woman or a man says how experienced he is, everyone respects him and says this is your life, but no one shows me the same respect. Everyone thinks I don't have sex because I'm sick or ugly. I've never had a boyfriend, it's my choice.

17 64Why should you be respected for a life choice? Do you want a medal for being a virgin?
Everything needs to be respected because this is my choice, this is my life, this is my body. I decide what to do and others cannot judge or humiliate me, no, I don't deserve medals, I deserve the most expensive jewels in the world. And you make this questioning comment because you can't stomach it. You can't stand my independence and it's my job to clear pebbles like you. I have achieved great things, I am a successful, rich, beautiful and moral girl and I deserve full respect, okay? Do you understand?
No. I respect people for doing an important thing which benefits society. Not random people for ordinary things. The word you’re probably looking for is acceptance. That is to accept your life choices. Which is ok. But either way I’m indifferent to your sexuality. I have zero interest in people’s sexuality unless I’m attracted to them and they give me the right vibes. But if you think you need praise for being a virgin you’re not getting any from me.
I shouldn't have responded to a simple and disrespectful man like you.
There are many reasons why I don't have a relationship. Since the day I was born, throughout my childhood, my father warned me a lot not to trust people and to be kind but cold. I suffered two serious head injuries and became a more introverted person. I then devoted my life to my education, career and charity work. I participated in many charity events for children in Africa. I became a climate activist. And that's how I came to this age...
Good for you! I commend you on your work. But drop the chip on your shoulder. Nobody needs to know about your sex life or lack of it, unless it’s with someone you’re dating. Or at least someone who’s shown romantic interest in you
Trust me you are respected.
God bless you🙏
its ur own life n choices
u dont need anyone's validation
the issue that some r jerks n find it hard to show even the bare minimum of respect for others
I think sex is just a life experience you need to have before you can credibly comment on certain things. It's a perspective thing.
Having sex with someone changes things in a way that you kind of need to have had sex with someone before they really make sense.
So you had sex today? Well congrats I guess.. How did it go?
No I didn't have sex 😅
Lol you said you have never had sex until today which means you had sex today lol guess that was a mistake or typo Are you dating anyone?
Yes, that was a typo and my English isn't perfect. I'm not dating anyone.
It is your choice what you do with your body. I respect that. It's sad that some people don't.
Thank you for understanding me🙏🙏🙏
Says who?
I'm also a virgin (I'm saving myself for marriage, and I don't respect people who don't do that, because they spread STDs and cause children to grow up without both parents).
Very much respected in certain circles and countries. Maybe your hanging out with a crowd with different views on life?
Why do you care what they think? They don't have to live with the consequences one way or the other. It's highly probable that the people teasing you are upset with themselves for not waiting.
because it is generally assumed that you can't attract a mate. whether it's a choice or no doesn't matter cause generally people who do not respect you for that don't you know you well enough to be able to properly judge it.
the thing about choices is that indeed you choose what you do in your life. but others choose how they think about it. that's not what you get to have a say in. what others think about your decisions is part of the consequences of your decisions that you should be aware about and that should be a factor in your decisions.
like if you decide for something most people don't like or what few people decide for, you can't expect that many people agree with your choices or that they'll be able to relate. that's just what it is.
Why should they? People don't just get respect handed to them. Men life shitty lives. Wormn live on easy mode these days go cry about it
They treat me like I'm sick or mentally ill.
Probably are
So what, are they right?
Absolutely
Why?
Why? You act like it.
What do you want to say?
Society painting that picture for you. In fact, majority of men look up to you for that.
I don't care whether she's experienced or not
I've never heard this. I greatly respect your self control... Good for you
Why is a short man or a man with a small dick not respected? Blame social media
I respect a woman if she has no sex at all that’s respected. Until she’s married
Because we live in a society in which it’s expected that people have sex by a certain age. Anything beyond your 20s, you’re seen as “strange.” However, I don’t care what people think of me. You shouldn’t either. Societal norms are stupid.
A man would ideally want a virgin as his romantic partner and as his future wife.
So be glad that you are a virgin, it's a positive trait.
I respect you!! ✊
