I'm 20.  I've had boyfriends, but I want to lose my virginity to someone that I love and trust completely and could see myself marrying.  I mean, if something went wrong and I were to get pregnant, I wouldn't want it to be with some jerk or some random guy whose name I don't even know. I would want it to be with someone whom I love and who I would be proud to have a child with.  Sometimes I feel like you do, but I know that if I go out and have sex with some random guy, I will not only regret losing my virginity - which is something you only have once - in a meaningless fling, but I would also feel disgusted with myself for compromising my morals and beliefs just for lust.  PM me if you want. I have noticed than alot of girls I knew in high school are now in Facebook groups with names like "I'm going to have crazy awesome amazing sex...when I get married" and all of them are girls I respect and hold in high regard, so they and people like you are definitely alot of help. On the other hand, peer pressure is definitely a cruel mistress. Yeah, it is. People that know that I'm a virgin sometimes assume that I'm stuck up or that I'm a huge prude. And I've been called frigid and uptight. But I don't really care, at the end of the day. I know people who lost their virginity at 14 and a lot of them now have had (unplanned) children - some right out of high school. I know 2 girls who got herpes from having drunk unprotected sex with guys they didn't even know. I'm not necessarily waiting until I get married, but having the respect of others is something that I hold in high regard and I feel like I have so much more to offer than just sex. I don't hold it against people if they lost their virginity early or they have lots of one-night stands, but I definitely have more respect for people who are waiting until they're in a committed, loving relationship - whether they're married or not - to have sex. I think it's far more than just pleasure - there's a huge amount of trust and vulnerability involved. Kudos to you, my man. Stay strong! Tarhanosaurus Sexx Posted at 11:46 pm on July 1, 2009 Stick to your beliefs. You're the 1st guy I have ever heard/read/seen...whatever....that prefers to wait for that special someone. That's really nice. I think there'd be a lot of girls who'd find that as a very attractive trait. I know what you mean, by people putting you down, or..that it seems like that. I'm 20...I lost my virginity when I was 19...under the pressure of all my mates giving me shit for being a virgin. I regret losong it to the person I did, just a random friend who doesn't really care. If I could go back, I'd change that, and wait for love. Congratulations for being yourself and not giving in like that.

Sara2011 Posted at 11:44 pm on July 1, 2009 don't feel bad. When I'm your age, I'm sure I'll still be a virgin. I've only kissed before, not even made out, and I'll be 17 next month. I want to wait until I'm in a serious long term (like 2 years atleast) relationship. Maybe even until I'm married or engaged. I think it's admirable you're still a virgin:). Good job! ilovethatbiotch Posted at 11:42 pm on July 1, 2009 i have a friend waiting til he is married. he is 28 and still a virgin.

But only when I feel absolutely sure that it's the right time and the right person, That doesn't mean the perfect guy with whom I'll live happily ever after. I mean a guy who I feel will value the moment just as much as I do. Peer pressure means nothing to me. I'd never do anything I'm not ready to do just because another person tells me I should. By the way, I edited this because my first reaction wasn't a fair one. I was upset about something else when I posted it. See Me Now Posted at 11:41 pm on July 1, 2009 I'm definitely still a virgin, and I'm 19. I wont say I've been waiting to get married, because I've considered having sex with someone I dated before, but bottom line: I was waiting for the right person.
