Sex!

[Cloudane]

Never had sex (or dated for that matter). And yes, I'm 25 next week.

Really doesn't bother me, in fact it's positive for my lifestyle and personality that I'm not involved in all that. Maybe one day, but I don't see it as a race and in the present time, I have no desire to get involved in it.

Trust me, people tell me all the time that I "should" want sex, that I'm unhealthy without it, even that it makes me a lesser person who deserves no respect because of it. It's stupid - I don't deserve to be treated as an equal, just because I haven't inserted my penis into a lady's vagina? What planet are these people from? But I get that a lot when people find out (Whilst I don't go shouting it, I don't keep it a secret either. Don't see why I should)

Other people even try to tell me what *I'm* feeling, that I'm sad and lonely and yada yada. Not true, I'm quite content. Next time anyone tries to tell me how I feel, I will be predicting *their* feelings - of pain.

So yeah, the stigma is huge. But as I've said time and time again, I have no desire to associate with people who stigmatise others in the first place.

I'll have sex (and get into dating etc) when I'm good and ready, not when other people dictate. Besides, whilst I'm not religious, I do believe that it should be something shared between people who love each other - not just part of the Saturday Night routine.

So, whilst it's not in the requested format, there's my view

i am a virgin.

this can make high school somewhat difficult, with your friends all around you explaining how they broke their bed the night prior, but it doesnt bug me much. i will be the first to tell you that i have some commitment issues, and that prospect of sex is intimidating to me. it takes alot of trust to do that with someone and if i were going to, i would need to know that they felt the same way about me. These stories that have been going on through the thread (that i am suprised adminisatration has allowed), i cant picture me doing that...ever.

i have had girlfriends before, and we have done something to eachother, but the pants have always stayed on, not always a shirt, but definately the pants. i am kinda ready to lose it though, but i need a girlfriend first ( i have been told i am a great kisser though, so that makes me feel good!)

Personally, I get quite a bit of it, especially lately as I recently met someone, and we happen to get along quite well, and having a sexual relationship seemed like the right thing at the time. Since I just came out of a rather ty relationship a couple of months ago (I confess, I had unprotected sex during this relationship - though I am on the Pill, thank God!) I am very strict about using condoms with my new boyfriend, although I haven't had any symptoms of anything nasty, but then again that doesn't mean anything...

Obviously I have no qualms about premarital sex, heck, I'm doing it! However I respect those who do save themselves for marriage. Maybe it's because I don't really believe in marriage either, but I don't think 'saving yourself' makes it any more special, tbh. I don't see the point of waiting until one is married. I mean, would you buy a car without test-driving it first? (I love that analogy! )

Dude, I'm just going to be lazy and quote you since you said what I feel on the topic (except I just turned 19 last week )

I think we've all seen my youtube videos.
