Hey. I've been a lurker in this thread and its previous incarnations for a long time, but I've never posted in one until now. I'll probably be ridiculed for posting this, but that's a chance I'll just have to take. So, my story in an abbreviated form is that I'm 22 and live in the UK. I'm also a virgin and have never actually passed what you guys would refer to as "first base" with a girl. The first thing I would like to mention is that, no, I am not gay. I'm tolerant and open minded, and have no problem with guys who are, but to put it simply, dudes don't turn me on at all. A few people have actually thought that I might be just because I've never had any sexual experience with women or had a girlfriend. I don't really understand the logic of that, but there you go. I also haven't exactly spent my life living under a rock or hiding from people. I've got this idea that the ability to attract girls isn't a life skill that can be learned, such as driving a car or playing an instrument. I think it's a character trait (I'm not sure what else to describe it as) that a guy either possesses or doesn't. I think it's innate. The guys who have this trait comprise the 95%+ of other guys around my age who have had multiple girlfriends and a shit-ton of sexual experience by this point in their lives. The remaining 5% or so are the guys who end up posting on the Internet whining about being virgins in their 20s, 30s or 40s and beyond in some cases. I'm extremely ashamed to count myself as a member of the latter group. Anyway, I actually saw a post on Reddit from a guy who claimed to be a 34 year old virgin. He explained that, one day, he just decided to get on a plane to Las Vegas and pay an escort to take his virginity. The dude said it was the greatest thing he had ever experienced in his life and he loved every second of it. He also said that he is able to come just by recalling the experience, without actually masturbating.
Inspired by Mr Not a 34 year old Virgin, I'm thinking that I may have to follow in that guy's footsteps and those of other people in a similar situation. I've no problem with going there on my own and looking after myself, but it would be my first time going to Vegas. I obviously don't know my way around the place. I do know that prostitution is legal in Nevada. I'd just be looking to stay out of trouble. It would be a significant amount of money for me factoring in the cost of flights, the money for the escort, hotel room and other miscellaneous expenses. I was wondering if any GAFers have been to Vegas and partaken in activities of the nature I mentioned? Any advice for me? As I said, I just want to stay out of trouble and not get scammed or hustled. I just want to experience sex at least once before I die. Not that I'm in any imminent danger of dying, but whenever I hear or read news reports of people around my age dying, it just unsettles me. You never know what's going to happen, and every day that passes increases the possibility of me dying as a virgin. The thought of that happening is horrifying to me. It's on my mind all the time, to the extent that I can't concentrate on other things. I've essentially given up on ever getting laid via conventional means (i.e. dating/picking up women). That's pretty much it really. I guess I had better go prepare myself for the mockery-fest that will inevitably follow.
