Virgin tight?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I was 24, on my wedding night. It was (and is) awesome. But it wasn't all religious reasons; there's nothing against kissing in my religion, yet the only woman I've ever kissed is my wife. My dad had kissed probably 70 or 80 girls when he was younger, and I just thought, nah, I want it to be special. So I held off kissing anyone till I REALLY liked her. Then I loved her. Then I married her. Then I had sex with her. Now I have a son with her. Best decision(s) I ever made.

Was your wife a virgin too? (hope you don't mind me asking)

Man I can't imagine marrying the first guy I kissed...I think he turned out to be gay.

Anyway I was 19 and I didn't tell the guy - it was a drunken one night stand and it was pretty awful. But I just wanted to get it out of the way, didn't want to be a virgin in my 20s. I'm sure he figured it out but he didn't mention it. Never saw him after that.
 
Why does it matter if someone is a virgin when they're 16 or 30? I don't get this mentality.
I might be being narrow-minded but I kinda feel like having a sex-life (good or bad) is an essential part of maturity. It teaches interaction and bonding with other humans at an intimate level that is essential for a healthy and well-rounded development.

They're just my quick thoughts, probably not expressed very well. I just don't think sex is as easy to brush off as some might think.

No, she had a different lifestyle in her teens. It didn't make her happy, so she changed. She regrets her teen decisions deeply. I can't ever really mention them or she gets depressed all day. So physically, no, she wasn't, but by the time I met her, she had the same attitude and beliefs about sex and intimacy as I do, and had remained pure (for lack of a better word [sorry offendedGAF]) for a long time.

But we have people with active sex lives that never learn or practice such things.
 
Because a healthy male should have at least something happening in his twenties. You only get your youth once.
Besides, actively trying to seek sexual experiences can be a lot of fun.
Not that I say it's better to be a virgin or anything (I'm not saying anything on that) but there's so much more you can do as a healthy male in your twenties to use your youth. Being an adventure sport enthusiast and someone who loves to travel ever so often, I know there are things I do now that I absolutely won't be able to do once I grow old or even once I start working and settling down, these are the things I'll remember until I the day I die....losing virginity, not so much. Although I admit I'm very lazy when it comes to women and never really bother trying in the first place.

Can't you learn interaction and bonding with other humans besides smanging? I feel I'd get more out of helping a person who is suffering in the world and attempting to improve their quality of life than I would ever get out of smanging a guy and/or a girl. I don't find their value in proportion at all, here.

You can. But there really is nothing like a sexual relationship. There is a level of intimacy there that no other human interaction can achieve.

I agree, I do feel like I'm missing out on something good...but at the same time I don't think it's as important as it's made out to be compared to some of the other things that helps you become a mature individual.

Hmm. Perhaps it's because I often attempt to live my life in a selfless manner that I don't really have the drive for that stuff, at least not anytime soon. I'm more focused on going places in my life to help others instead of experiencing things just for me, if that makes sense. That's largely the reason relationships has been on the butt end of my wants for about two years now.
 
if the virgin stigma is getting to you even though you constantly hear it doesnt really matter then you can easily fix it. How? BUY SEX

They aren't mutually exclusive you know.

Also, making it sound like a seedy, almost shameful act, by using the term "smang" doesn't particularly elevate the post. Quite the opposite.

I suppose, but in regards to what I want to do for my personal life, I want to do one thing at a time. I can't juggle much, and I just say smang to be silly. I'm not trying to imply it's some sinful act. Blame Turqoiuse Jeep for that one. :P

I have a very morbid outlook on life, assuming I will die soon, so I aim to live my life in hopes I make the life of someone else better, even just a little. I think that kills my sex drive a lot of the time.
 
there is no point in lying. you're gonna be so bad at it your first time, it's gonna cross your partners mind.

Speak for yourself, man. I was amazed at how well things went, on every level.
And spouting that shit just makes virgins more nervous.
 
What if your worried about your performance due to being a virgin so you tell the other person you havnt had sex in about a year so your a bit rusty.

Believable?

No.

You can't be rusty once you acquire the experience. Just like when you learn how to ride a bicycle.

I'm sure you can achieve interaction and bonding at intimate levels in a relationship without sex though, why is the act of sex deemed to be so much more important than the rest of the relationship (especially the journey of getting to that point in the relationship)?

And as someone brought up earlier, I don't think people having one night stands every week are achieving any sense of intimacy or maturity in their lives.

I didn't tell my first sexual partner. She was just straddling me, the pair of us talking, then she realised I was pitching a tent. She just reached down, and slide it in there. I believe my expression was something along the lines of:

I told her afterwards, and she said the look on my face gave it away big time!
 
Virginity is like a 90's comic.

You think that keeping it safe on its bag will make it valuable on the long run, but the truth is that is worth nothing.
 
Don't believe I ever lied about it, didn't see a reason to. Lost it with my first serious girlfriend, and we both were (and both knew the other was), so yeah.

It's not necessarily 'much more' important, but it's certainly important. You're never more open or vulnerable than when you're having sex with your partner, it's a great trust exercise.

A happy and healthy sex-life can make the difference between a good relationship and a great relationship. There's simply no other activity that brings a couple closer (other than perhaps bereavement or a near-death experience).

And as someone brought up earlier, I don't think people having one night stands every week are achieving any sense of intimacy or maturity in their lives.
That's the opposite end of the spectrum though. Depending on the motives for the casual sex, that may well be just as unhealthy. However if you think that people aren't taking anything away from those experiences other than meaningless sex, I think you're mistaken.
 
This thread is hilarious, dudes losing their virginity at 13 and their egos still haven't come back down to Earth.
 
21 years old here....I have bad social anxiety issues and low self esteem/no confidence. The worst part is that I'm a decent looking guy, tall and fairly muscular.. so I feel even worse that I'm such an awkward loser

Why not change it? Talk to more people. That helped me get over my anxiety issues. Granted, my self-esteem is at rock-bottom but it's because I have some absurdly high standards for what I need to do before I become worth something to anybody.

Easier said than done when you have social anxiety. I know it sounds like whining, but I really cant clear my mind around people so I never know what to say around women, so I stopped trying. Kinda in the same boat with the one girl here, I've already accepted the fact that I may be alone for awhile. Also I suffer from depression so that doesn't help either

Don't let this thread bully you, apparently some people never changed their opinion since high school.

Who gives a shit "when" you lose your virginity? It means next to nothing in comparison to the rest of an emotionally intimate relationship.

Judging by some of the responses in this thread, if you: follow a strict religion, are a survivor of sexual abuse, born with a deformity or suffer an injury, are an extreme introvert by nature or by mental disorder, then you're apparently a mal-adjusted geek and thus completely incapable of ever establishing a human connection.

And of course tell your partner because HOPEFULLY you're at a point where you can be honest and open with them, instead of scared of them.
 
No.

You're wrong. If a man hasn't had sex in a while his stamina is likely going to be shit. A lot of men can seclude virginity by simply being drunk and having whiskey dick.

Buy some sex and get the awkwardness out of the way. Seriously, having your first time be with a professional is ideal, especially if you're a little behind and getting anxious. Or do what I did. Get blacked out drunk and hope for the best.

Do it when you feel ready.
You don't have to have sex to fit into society.
You have sex when you have a connection with somebody.
Let it flow. It will come ;)

Oh, of course man. I absolutely understand. My anxiety really had to do with my experience in school that caused me to drop out, so I couldn't relate to my peers. I couldn't really connect or have friends, let alone boyfriends or girlfriends. My early college years were pretty shit too, feeling unfulfilled and very lonely, and it still is but more of experience, not so much a lack of people to talk to. For the last few years I've been trying to hone and reshape my life, and for the most part it's pretty okay. What really helped me was speaking to a counselor, and pouring out all of my feelings. Exposing yourself to a stranger, willingly, is very liberating and helpful. It helped defeat my anxiety just with people. It's just a have a lot of fucking stuff on my plate that I want fixed or removed, so relationship stuff is just above having kids on my list. That is to say, it's next to the last thing I want to be doing right now.

If your anxiety is just with women, I'm not sure I can help you as being a bisexual I never got scared of talking to girls in my teenage years for reasons of attraction, but of trust and feeling like I'd not be understood (which applied with men too). If you're just socially anxious in general, I would strong suggest seeing a counseler, especially at a college. Does fucking wonders.

EDIT: If you need someone to talk to, you can always PM me, or if you'd prefer, you can try talking to me on Skype or something. I'm sure you may feel alone or something, but I promise you sir, you certainly are not. <3

Stamina is a thing, not knowing how to move is another one. You can't mask your inexperience behind the "rustiness" excuse.

Yeah I'm currently trying out different medications for depression, and have already started to see a therapist for the anxiety issues. I've only had 1 session so far so I have no idea what to expect but I'm just hoping for the best at this point. Had a bad breakdown yesterday so I'm going to try to be more open with my family as well, cause it seems I have issues opening up to people

I'm sorry to hear about the breakdown, and I hope it goes well for you too. If you need anyone to rant to and let out a little steam, or just to try talking and being more open around others, feel free to hit whatever it is my way, okay? I know so much of what you're feeling in principle. I used to breakdown all the time too.
 
I'd think having your first time with a prostitute is even worse.

People think it's an easy way out but it really doesn't get you much further in the dating and sex scene. Part of the 'admiration' that comes with losing your virginity (I guess) is because it takes some effort/skill/luck to actually get it in there - a prostitute is like you've tasted cake but you still don't know the recipe.
 
Part of the whole intimidation factor of having sex for the first time comes from lack of familiarity. This demystifies it. Plus you go into it knowing you're not going to judged either for your performance or the fact you're a virgin. If one finds the aspect of the hunt for sex appealing, I guarantee you he will not be a virgin past his teenage years.
 
I might be being narrow-minded but I kinda feel like having a sex-life (good or bad) is an essential part of maturity. It teaches interaction and bonding with other humans at an intimate level that is essential for a healthy and well-rounded development.

They're just my quick thoughts, probably not expressed very well. I just don't think sex is as easy to brush off as some might think.

So, even asexuals who don't feel the need for sex should have sex or they're not mature?

The Western world has this idiotic belief a person must have sex or they're losers or something... Or maybe it is just the internet? Stupidity regardless.
