    Virgin
    Hi,
    I am 63 yrs old, so take what I say with my age in mind!
    It is no "sin" to be a virgin.
    I was 18 when I got "lucky".
    Your first time will be up to you, and the young lady you like well enough to have sex with. BE SURE you wear protection, a condom, when you do.
    Don't ever take any young lady's word for it that you are the first... unless you know of course, that she is not lying to you.
    There is no "set" age at when a young man has sex, it's different for everyone.
    My first was in the front seat of a car, with a bench seat, sitting on a deserted river bank, looking at the moon... very, very, nice!
    Best of luck,
    fredg

    I agree with fredg. There is no "age limit" and certainly no real value to going all the way unless it feels right for both you and the girl. I was 17 and my girl was 18. More boys than you realize don't get there until they are in their 20's. There is always a lot of bragging (and lying).

    I found that the most fun was with someone I really loved (and I loved my first--she is now my wife!). It makes it far more worthwhile. Otherwise it is like two dogs, which is how it felt in my "fallen out" period when I tried "the others."

    cheers,

    Bill

    Hey there

    Just thought you might want a female opinion on this post.
    I was 17 and my boyfriend was 18 when we both lost our virginity. I'm now 19 and I find nothing more annoying than overhearing guys bragging (or yes, more like lying as is often the case) about how many girls they've slept with.

    If you don't push for it, it will come to you when it's supposed to.

    Oh and I don't believe there is any particular age that one should lose their virginity, but I don't believe in not having sex before marriage either - you've got to try before you buy!!

    :)

    What I think
    Hey,
    I lost my virginity when I was about 15... and I regret it... I really think you shouldn't be pressured into it by all of your "buddies", they might say they've done it but they are probably all in the same position as you are... Do it with someone you love or like... but don't let it get to you. (being a girl) I think that you MUST make sure the girl you are planning with WANTS to do it... I didn't and the sex felt good... but very awkward, I've made many mistakes in my life (such as being a call girl for a day) and (having sex with guys who pressured me) just go with the flo and let what happens happen.
    :P

    Good For You:
    You ought to be damn proud you're a virgin. It's a smart move. When looking at the future, with all those diseases out there, young and old alike have to think more then twice before they take the next step in a relationship. Wait until your wedding night!

    I'm 15 and still a virgin. A lot of my friends always call me different names.. you know.. but lately I've openly admitted to friends I'm a virgin. Some girls think its cute, so it's a bonus. I could lose my virginity if I wanted to, but I don't want to catch an STD.. Plus I want it to be a with a girl that at least means something when I lose it.

    How do you know if your girlfriend is virgin or not?
    She say, she still a virgin. But how do you know? Can you tell if you want has sex with her.

    Bro, I was a virgin until I got married, and I am grateful for that every day. I honestly think my wife and I have a stronger relationship from it, because she too was a virigin until we got married. It's not embarrassing, all my friends were sleeping with everyone, and it didn't benefit them one bit. They are all still going crazy and it effects their lives and school. I'm settled down, and life, school, and marriage are going great for me. Not saying that your life sucks if you don't wait, but my life truly benefited from doing it.

    I am 17 as well and a virgin. There are a few reasons I'm a virgin, for one I was a late bloomer. Middle school, Freshman and Sophomore year I looked very childlike, I was a little shorter than everyone else, and of course I wasn't the flirtatious type. I didn't get much action, however when I turned 16 and through 17 (im almost 18 now) I grew a lot, and my characteristics matured, I work out a lot now and I'm in the drama club in a production called the wizard of oz, by new bedford high school, last fall I was on the high school football team. Anyway I have had tons of girls hitting on me, (mostly sophmores and juniors, seniors my age still have an old mindset of me :) ) I don't handle the flirting very well its all new to me, it suprises some of the hot girls that hit on me how much I suck at flirting sometimes they take it as I don't like them when I really do!!
    But anyway I have had many girls ask me to be their boyfriend, a sophomore named kayla asked me out, she's 2 years younger than me but omfg she is one of the hottest girls in my school ( my school has 3500 students attending ) I have gotten very close to having sex with her but I think to myself omfg I have gone so long without having sex I'm going to chance getting an std now, Should I have sex with her I'm sure she's a virgin, or should I wait till I get married?

    As long as you are of legal age there is no good age or good time to lose your virginty - the best time is when you feel you are ready to do so. I have great respect for anyone who is still a virgin. I lost myvirginity at 17yrs old. I was more than ready, did it with my current partner at the time. He and I are not togeher anymore but share a very special friendship. I have no regrets.

    The only advice I can give you is to wait until you are ready and wait until you find someone you feel really comfortable with.

    I have so many friends who lost it due to peer pressure at a young age and under awful circumstances that they have great regrets now.

    It is something that happens naturally, so don't worry about it and just enjoy it when the time comes :)

    Its only sad and pathetic if you do it because you think you have to.

    You don't want it to be a warm body... but someone you really care about and not just horny for.

    And always use protection.

    I'm 17 too, and there are lots of people I know who are still virgins. There is nothing wrong with that. You can be a virgin for as long as you want to =) there is no "perfect age" for losing it. Its whenever you feel you are ready to. I actually find it very attractive when a guy is still a virgin.

    Well, I am a 37-year-old guy and am still a virgin. Heck, you still have your college years ahead of you. Yeah, you might not want to linger like me in the virginity factor but for you about to become a young adult, I just can't see how it would be so bad.

    Hay I'm a male, 19 an still a virign so I no how you feel, the extent of my sexually experience is this- kissed a girl when I was six, that's all! I don't think there is a certain age too loose your virginity, all my friends and I mean all of them have lost it so I feel really left out when ever I got out with them because that's all they talk about, it really gets me down, but worst of all everyone of them knows that I'm still a virgin and they keep saying 'come on mate someone special will come around soon'- first heard that afew years ago, I know its hard an really uncomfortable if not embarrassed to still be a virgin in this day an age in modern youth culture but its not pathetic, best advice around I guess is get out there as much as you can and be yourself :D

    Well, you don't want peer pressure to dictate anything you do. You will be the one who suffers for it.

    Its your life, do it in your own time, at your own conditions. Only a fool lets their "friends" dictate their life. Hell most of them aren't doing half of what they claim to be doing.

    Hey Mogoverthemoon, I have just a little more physical contact with the opposite sex and I am 37! I know how alienating it can feel. Yes, the never ending talk among guys about who did whom can really be a downer. I try not to feel bad about being a virgin in this day and age but hope that a woman can display an open mind about some of us, not-so-run of the mill folks breaking society's conventional trends.

    Plus, being disease free and having no kids will hopefully work as a plus:)

    I isn't trying to sound deep, sensitive and all of that but to be honest like all of my mates say 'the first time is special' so telling someone who's a virgin and asking complete strangers questions about his sex life to just got out and get a hooker is a pritty crap answer mate, not the best advise by a long shot, OK you did it and it worked out for you but its still a crap bit of advise to give there me thinks:(

    i think being a virgin is a wonderful thing and nothing to be ashamed of. the longer your a virgin the more respect i would have for you and others would. wait until its absolutely right and saving it for your wedding day would be amazing :D

    I am 18 and I am still a virgin. Virginity is nothing to be ashamed of. I have been told to wait until you are married and have sex. It is safer that way.

    LoL what stupid friends do you have? Being pressured into sex is the most stupid thing I've ever heard of. Whenever I'm with a girl and I ask her if she would like to do it and she's says no, I just accept and treat her to some nice foreplay. I'm 17, and I don't give a crap about sex. If the oppurtunity comes then ill do it, otherwise it's of great importance.

    Never be pressured - learn to say no.
    Never rush in - sex is overrated. I say this because when you're skilled enough to have about 45 minutes of continuous foreplay which includes oral sex, then intercourse goes out the window.

    Ok... I lost mine about a year ago I was 16 I couldn't have gave it a better girl... most people I fine give there's to someone they regeart and never really loved and were pressured into it... im not with the girl any more and I have has now 6 different sex partners... im not proud of it at all... if it was up to me I would have kept it with her... theres nothing wrong with being a virgin... ya your friends may give you about it like I do... but they do it cause they just wish they were still one... so just be smart and give it the girl that you love

    Girls have tried to get me to have sex with them before. They were pretty, but I barely knew them, and they weren't my type. I want my first time to be with a girl who I love. By the way, I'm 19 and in college. My peers and girls can put pressure on me, but they can never control me. If you are waiting for the girl you like and your peers make fun of you, they don't know the first thing about girls. They are companions, not prizes.

    P.S. I bet more of your friends are virgins than you think:)

    I'm 17 and a virgin too, and I am so proud. Have some self respect for your body. Sex is a great thing when it is with the right person. Some guys talk a big game and say they did all that stuff, but it is a bunch of lives. Just think about how special it will be when you do it with someone you love. You and me just have found our soul mates yet, but one day we will and the reward will be that much sweeter! Trust me. A lot of my friend lost there and they REGRET IT! They cry all the time because they gave there most precious thing to a guy thwey thought they loved. Please wait, there is no shame and be a virgin with pride because unlike other you have some self respect for your body, and you lovers!
