Being praised for being a virgin over twenty - Comments

I'm almost nineteen and still a virgin. But my reason is because I'd like to wait until marriage. I know for a lot of people it's much, but it's what I believe in for me, ya' know? But good for you, girl! WOO! V-Cards unite!

I'm twenty- one and I'm still a virgin as well. It's seriously the most obnoxious thing to hear though when people are all like 'I'm proud of you'. It's like…I didn't do it for you? Blaaah

I was 19 for my first everything. Kiss and all. He was a mistake but the next year I married my bff and love of my life. We now have two kids and we mostly don't speak of my first time with he who shall not be named lol. Anyway kudos for being pure! I would recommend saving it for your husband. I wish I had

I'm also a 21 year old virgin... I'm glad to hear there are more like me out there!!!! =)

I'm 17, and people at my school act as if you're a unicorn if you haven't had sex by then. In 10th grade, me, a couple other girls, and some guys were on a trip for school and talking, and when they asked if I was a virgin and I said I was, the one guy kept telling me "bullshit". Like seriously? But it's honestly your choice, and don't let anyone pressure you.

I'm 23 and still a virgin, and one of my co-workers couldn't understand that. He asked me what was wrong with me that I hadn't done "it" yet. He's a seventeen year old guy.

Good thing I didn't also mention that at 23, I've also never been kissed. I've had one boyfriend, when I was sixteen, and our relationship only lasted three weeks. I never let him kiss me, because it didn't feel right.

People think it's weird, but I don't regret it. When the time is right, the time is right.

The main reason it's such an "accomplishment" is because most of the teenagers that give it away so young usually end up regretting it for various reasons. I know what you mean though about how it's awkward that people are like " oh wow good for you". I lost my virginity when I was 18 and the guy I gave it to is the guy I'm still with. Everybody was like wow good jobl lol

I don't know why people fuss about whose a virgin and who isn't. So what if a person is still a virgin. I personally don't think its something for people to praise or criticize. People make a big deal of sex and I just find that appalling. Was having a normal conversation with a guy and he randomly asked if I was a virgin. So what if I am or am not? Does it make me less of the person I am. I just think the world should stop revolving round sex. Completely contradictory to my rant, but congrats on keeping your cookie jar closed. Many open it at the first chance and opportunity.

Good on you for still being a virgin. Waiting for the right man is totally going to pay off in the end! :)

I don't think there is anything wrong with being a virgin over 20... I'm 22 and I'm still one plus I've never had a boyfriend before mainly because most of the lads I know don't act there age and are complete nuisances. I think it's mainly because everything revolves around sex nearly and with so many teenagers getting knocked up these days... some people are surprised to find that there are quite a few people who haven't rushed into doing something.

I'm still a virgin and plan to stay that way. Its not that I'm appalled by sex or anything, its very much a good thing, but its not something I'm interested in and probably never will be. People think I'm crazy if the topic gets brought up and demand that I have sex with the person I finally fall in love with. I just see myself expressing my love for someone in other ways besides sex.

I've never gotten judged for being a virgin--because mostly everyone I hang out with still has their v-card intact--but they're all going to lose it after they marry like asap and I'm sitting here "like nah, bro. I think I'll keep mine for a while. " then they get all weirded out and demand to know what the hell is wrong with me.

I'm 21 and it wasn't until about 3 months ago that I lost my v-card. My friends from high school, who are 1 to 2 years younger than me, had already lost theirs and apparently liked to give me sex advice (even when I didn't want or ask for it). They would always tell me (because doing it for the first time can be a bit painful) that I should get it over and done with. Which made me feel like I was a loser for being a virgin. I later find out that I need better friends when I tell them about my experience of losing it, (which I did when I wanted to) they thought it was pretty much lame. I figured they would tell me ways I could improve and stuff like that, but instead I got a lot of 'you should of done this' 'you should of done that' 'I can't believe you did (didn't do) that'. I already knew the first time will never be like the movies or stories, but I thought my friends would be supportive. Oh well! Each time is a learning experience.

I guess what I'm trying to say (but instead I ranted), is that it's okay to wait. And I applaud you for waiting. Because with all the talk I would hear from girls, whether I went to school with them or I unintentionally overhear a conversation, is that they lose it in their teen years and act like its the cool thing to do. Its your v-card, you choice.

I'll stop ranting now.

19, still have my card and honestly, I don't mind. I was a little embarrassed a couple weeks ago when I found out I was the only virgin from my huge circle of friends in high school, but I really don't mind.

I'm still a virgin. I'm looking to connect with someone on a basic level first. Sex is the last thing on my mind when/if I get involved with someone, and that bothers guys. At least it bothered my ex. We dated for a year, and he kept pushing the subject (and saying we'd do it "at some point" wasn't good enough for him) Which really pissed me off. He also has 2 kids, from different girls.

I don't see the big deal. It's really not that hard to not have sex. I kept mine until I was an adult as well. I was 18 closer to 19, and in a relationship. However, it isn't that big of a deal. I just hate it when people look at your looks first. Like "oh no wonder it's cause she's fat" or "ugly". Those are the ones that upset me, because my friend is "over weight" and still a virgin. The guys automatically assume that's the reason she hasn't lost the V-Card. Meh.

I find nothing wrong with being over 20 and still being virgin. Personally I don't see the rush in losing it. If you're not ready, then you're not ready. It's a personal preference to yourself on whether you want to have sex or not. If you never have sex then that's fine, I just wish people had the same view as yourself on this topic.
